Should be a good one and hopefully the first lady demands the pay her husband says she deserves, as first lady!

BTW if taxpayers built it and the top 50% of taxpayers paid for 95% of it. But let this idiot in chief pander to the lower 50% in 'HOPE' the lie will continue.

Why mention such things when you can manipulate statistics, tell outright lies that the faithful believe and throw out promises without any concern as to how they will be paid or if they are even possible to implement?

Such tactics worked four years ago and idiots believed it then, why not now?

The biggest turd layer of this convention so far? MARTIN O'TAXEY of Maryland.

You've never seen a bigger blood sucker, lover of over taxation of everyone, than Martin O'Malley, Maryland's finest.

He screwed up the slots issue.

He taxes me an extra $60 per year because I have a septic tank. Claims it drains into the Chesapeake. I'm 40 miles from the Bay.... He raised the alcohol tax 3% last year just because I drink beer. He jacked the sales tax 1% on everything, just because he could.

And, thanks to Marty, MD state law now says anyone making $100k is rich and must pay a higher tax rate than others - all done at 2am in a special session when no can debate or object. What a leader!! Just like the guy who appoints czars.....

This piece of crap is our worst enemy and we've only got 4 years left to stop him.........

Never heard of the bloke...a quick check and found some good things.

As he begins his second term, Maryland businesses are creating jobs again, Maryland students are achieving record success in the classroom, and the men and women of Maryland law enforcement are making Maryland’s streets and neighborhoods safer for our families.

Under Governor O’Malley’s leadership, Maryland’s public school system has been ranked #1 in America for four years in a row, Maryland elementary and middle school students have achieved their highest scores ever on state tests, and Maryland high school students achieved the highest passage rate in America on Advanced Placement exams.

Governor O’Malley’s public safety polices have helped drive violent crime and homicide rates in the State of Maryland to 35-year lows.

With tough choices, the Governor’s policies have helped save the Chesapeake Bay’s blue crab population and make significant improvements to the health of the Bay.

That's pretty good stuff eh..

Aah so....

My hat is off to the Dems, their speakers kicked ass last night, from the undercard of Cory Booker through Patrick Duval (outstanding!) on up to the First Lady (stellar!)

The contrast with the Republican meme of anger, fear and 1700's social programs - Bush Redux with less freedom - is marked and obvious.

Tonight: Bill Clinton.

The Democratic tent has plenty of room for this lifetime Eisenhower Republican. We fit very nicely.

Tonight, around 8pm Eastern time you get the best the Dems have to offer. I am curious how our beloved Governor will maintain his excellent centrist and bi-partisan reputation while (hopefully not though I cant see them leaving him any choice) pandering to an insane party base. I hope for the best from Hick but have prepared myself to hear him say a lot of things he doesn't believe.
