Insanity in Denver - Day Three of the Democratic Convention

Dave Wed, Sep 3, 2008 at 04:14 AM EST

Fletch - the blogger brought up the issue of abortion, not me. Also, I did not express an opinion on abortion, nor did I say it should be an important campaign issue. I simply used logic to show how ridiculous the blogger's statement concerning Roe v Wade was. Again, remember, the blogger brought up abortion. Think before you speak next time.

Rufus--did you even read it? That blog was not written by a Republican, far from it!

Dave, love the logic. Just because you don't want to 'raise a child into adulthood' doesn't mean you should murder that child, and no matter how you cut it, that's what abortion is.

I am not a fan of this blogging about the conventions but I am interested to see what is said about the RNC next week.

How did I not know the Palladinos were blogging the DNC?

Even though I know Rory Gilmore is a fictional character, I can't help but wonder how exciting this election must be for her as a paid journalist following the Obama campaign. While I am sure Rory could write such wit and sarcasm, reading this blog kind of felt more like listening to Loralie. Rory would have to be a little more serious as she builds her serious journalist cred.

Okay, back to reality--I would become addicted to Lobbyist Island.

"(Series idea: a nerdy Internet blogger falls head over heels for a sweet-natured hooker. It's a sexy/awkward new take on Mad About You.)"
.
First reaction: Thanks for promoting The Big Bang Theory, Amy & Dan, but I just thought I'd point out that Penny isn't a hooker. (Although maybe she will be by season four.)
.
Second reaction: Did you guys see Elisha Cuthbert's movie The Girl Next Door recently? How about Weird Science? Were you traumatized by the fact that Charlize Theron played the hooker/slut-with-the-heart-of-gold archetype in Sweet November rather than Lauren Graham?
.
One more thing: picture Kirk, Doyle or Xander Harris saying the above or it'll sound, like, so totally not geeky. ;)

You see Rick and Dave, that's where you both fall flat on your face. Most people, I think, are SICK of campaigns and administrations based on moral issues.

I don't personally believe in abortion, but I'm not going to tell some young girl that got played by some a-hole that she has to live with that mistake. And I personally don't care if every homosexual on Earth gets married. How is Ellen and Portia getting married going to affect me? It's NOT!!!

I'm concerned about the economy, ending the war, having enough to retire on, healthcare, education. Unless my compass is WAY off, most people feel the same.

I'd rather my leaders focus on that stuff than stupid "faith based initiatives". What the hell is WRONG with people?

Dave Fri, Aug 29, 2008 at 10:59 AM EST

By your logic, anyone who does not want to overturn Roe v Wade should perform an abortion, to see what it is like to kill a living fetus and then suck out its remains

Is Amy aware that the waiting list to adopt those "unwanted/unloved" children is two-three years long and costs up to $20,000 each? There's a reason overseas adoption is a booming business.

If you're looking for hookers you need to head over to Colfax, not the 16th Street Mall

Snarf:
Probably about the "Obama-Biden somehow equates to Osama bin Laden. I'm sure Daniel was being sarcastic, but that's a pretty touchy subject, considering that the freaks over at Fox News actually spent a couple of hours seriously discussing this like it was a real issue or something.

MC Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 03:51 PM EST

What do you all have against What About Brian? It was a good show. Democrats I can do without, but Brian was a good show.

Anne Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 02:41 PM EST

What in the hell? Lobbyists, Nora Ephron, and plugs to sell DVDs. Did the protestors force feed you LSD? Pot? EW, I hope ya'll are not paying for this.

Snarf Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 02:36 PM EST

WTH is Rufus1133 going on about?
Seriously dude. CHILL.

Fletch Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 02:35 PM EST

Republicans suck. Who cares if Obama and Biden's names combine to sound like Adolf Hitler or Charles Manson? It's a damn sight better than the past eight years. Peace!

Well, at least you fascist bias is out in the open. At least you don't hide it. I thought this was a site for all americans? Now some of your fav movies and the stuff you push makes sense. to bad. I used to come here everyday. No more. Very stupid of you. I'm going to pass this around the web. You just lost at least a million in revenue. for what?

rufus1133 Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 02:27 PM EST

What the? Ew is part of the fascist right wing propoganda machine? why not just stick to what you do? Why alienate yoru readers? You lose twice. Very stupid of you. Did you wear your swastika to the event so people could identify you as a republcain clone stooge?
