(47,803 posts)I've been very critical of Clinton over the years for his policies.
But there is no one better at explaining and advocating for the basic Democratic argument and firing people up.
I hope they unleash the Big Dawg on the GOP without any muzzles so he can call out those GOP liars and get the truth to sink into the heads of those in the "middle."

(47,803 posts)The Romney's sang the praises of Costco....I wonder if they book its founder before or after that.
Would be wonderful if he debunks Mitt and Ann.

(5,815 posts)lift those of us who are suffering from what we've heard this week out of the pit of despair. We know the truth and it has been in very short supply this week. I pray that all of the speakers next week will make every effort to keep their speeches clean, and free of anything not fully vetted or not quite true. We just can't stoop to the tactics of the other side and still call ourselves honest. I know the truth will prevail if it is presented in sharp contrast to their lies. And what an amazing list of speakers. It is the perfect antidote to this week's lies-a-pah-looza.
