Bill Clinton gave emphasis to the clear difference between the Conventions

[1-Old-Man]

You could go back and watch last week's Republican Convention and not find 10 minutes of substantive fact and connecting discussion in its abbreviated 3 days. Their entire Convention rhetoric was based on emotional appeal to ideological values. That was them, that was their Convention.

The Democratic Convention, by contrast, has been a fact-filled bonanza for those who want to understand just what has been going on in this country below the mask of right-wing political subterfuge. Bill Clinton knocked it out of the ballpark last night by first loading up the bases one by one with fact and then coordinating the delivery into an understandable home run.

Here is what the Democrats know, that when the people are given the facts and even the briefest of historical review they will use their own god-given intelligence to come to the right answers to their questions and solutions to their problems. By Contrast Republicans believe in an authoritarian society in which any lie can can justified, any call to emotion endured, so long as the results of their actions can be channelled to an ever-narrowing band of power seekers. In their world-view the people are to be spurred to action by emotional appeal when needed and should sit down and remain stupidly-quiet the rest of the time.

Use your mind, vote Democratic.

1. President Clinton indeed gave a great speech. But, in the end, I don't think it will

make much of a difference. I do not believe either convention will matter greatly, in regard to the final vote tally. Conventions are pretty much irrelevant anymore. We no longer need them, and few people pay them much attention.
Having said that, I think that President Clinton's rousing oration was largely overshadowed by the incompetence of the party leaders who publicly engineered the "God" and "Jerusalem" platform fiasco earlier in the evening. That is getting a lot of media attention, and handed the Repubs a campaign ad, where they can accuse Democrats of being "anti-God". The Clinton speech may have salvaged some of the evening, but not totally.

I think you pay attention to a different Media than I do.. I do not watch Fox News so I have not heard a single comment on any fiasco about God or Jerusalem. anyway it really would not amount to all that much, especailly since the US constitution that Republicans put so much stock into has not a single mention of either God or Jerusalem..

Indeed. Democratic former Presidents are not ashamed to show their faces in public. That's a big difference.
