...I'm someone who posted how disappointed I was with the pick...and I'm not wanting him booed! Dang! I want to hear about and from him!

When are we going to stop this crap and be respectful to one another.

This convention has been fantastic so far, above my expectation, except by those who have not shown courtesy.

Ugh!

5. Maybe watch CSPAN coverage. The sound system

is excellent, it's not degraded "if it bleeds it leads" coverage, a minority of angry activists aren't given more coverage than they deserve, and the speakers are given the coverage they deserve.

There is no need for anyone to allow a group that doesn't even fill one section of the arena spoil the convention for them..

I thought the Busters walked out last night? You mean they didn't really mean it? They were only doing it as a media stunt? COLOR ME SHOCKED.

Picking him solidified my thought that Clinton is strictly goal oriented. The goal being successful progressive legislation.

18. Tim has amends to make with the LGBT community and he needs to start tonight.

I'd not boo him but it does not break my heart. This man signed an amendment against marriage equality after having promised to veto it. Does it surprise you that he's not beloved of all people?
