Welcome One and All to The 2016 Democratic National Convention

Lets hope some evil genius does not manifest the rarest and as-yet-unavailable Mewtwo Pokemon somewhere in the vicinity of the convention for it's duration.

Aside from that, indications are that the DNC establishment shafted Bernie and produced a dog-n-pony show for the American people during the primaries.

That's poor form in my book so I am very interested in this convention to see how they intend addressing this and other pressing issues such as Comeys testimony about Hillarys knowledge of classification status's of her emails portraying Hillary as a liar as well as how they intend to placate and gain Bernie supporters.

There is nothing wrong with increasing taxes when needed. The GOP stance of never increase taxes is BS through and through. Look at G.H.W.Bush, he was forced to raise taxes and his party booted him out the door even though he did what was needed.

Completely correct. Even Reagan found out the hard way that sometimes you have to raise or impose taxes.

What taxes did he raise? Interesting.

Reagan didn't raise taxes per say. He made it harder to avoid taxes, decreased some federal tax breaks and closed some loopholes.

The end result was that a lot of people ended up paying more in taxes.

On stage with Hillary ... during her acceptance speech ...

Kaine just gave a speech in Miami and he did part of it in spanish! I would love to see anyone from trumps campaign try to match that. How in the world do the Republicans think they can try to match that with the Hispanic voters?
Also Hillary has the black lives matter votes and trump is a proven racist... lol
GOOD LUCK IN THIS ELECTION RNC! LOL

even if I find it foreign at times and jokingly call Yanks oddballs

That is a RACIST term.

FYI.

Not a fair question, since we can not discuss the other convention, but there was indeed a speaker there who gave part of his speech in Spanish - Kentucky State Senator Ralph Alvarado, Jr..

I wonder if the DNC will have anyone from the military speaking at this convention.
Or law enforcement.
Both were represented at the other one.

This comment could be construed as proof of the mandela effect.

FYI, in this dimension, BLM are a racist hate group and Trumps wall and Muslim comments have ZERO relevance to race.

oddballs is racist?

I think I saw an actual halo appear over his head! LOL

a reply to: BlueAjah

Typical excuses from the right. I don't even see how that is relevant. Kaine is fluent in Spanish and therefore has already wrapped up the Hispanic vote by default. So sorry to be the breaker of bad news. ***SNIP***

Well that all sounds excellent. More of it should happen.

Soooo, you are saying that a person should elect their leader based on nationality?
Isn't that racist?

True I don't see how a wall meant to keep 'white' people out could be racist.

a reply to: BlueAjah

I'm the racist and I assume you are calling Kaine mexican? Get your facts straight. You sound like you could have fit right in with the racist speakers at the RNC.

First, why doesn't he speak to them in American English? That's a general requirement to become a naturalized citizen and assimilate into the USA. Sounds like pandering...

Second, because you asked (5:20):

a reply to: xxspockyxx

I don't think you know the definition of racism.

Using it as a meaningless term to insult your political opponents is quite detrimental to your efforts really.

a reply to: xxspockyxx

I never said that Kaine was mexican.
I was asking if you thought that a person's nationality or race should affect who they vote for?
Just as you said earlier about blacks?
Do you think that as a black or hispanic, a person should be including their own race in their decision regarding selecting a leader of this country?
Are we not all Americans?

SINCE we noticed "refugees" were a tango op,for ISIS cover....being actively pursued by the Dems.
