In what was supposed to be a big surprise, but got leaked in advance, former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) delivered the Pledge of Allegiance at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday night.
Giffords, whose name was never listed on the convention schedule, appeared onstage with Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who is a close friend of Giffords and is also the DNC chairwoman.
A wonderful finale to three days of hope and inspiration for the future of our country. As always, Obama spoke eloquently and with a passion like no other who has stood in his place before him. Naturally, Obama spoke about his triumphs he devoted himself to see them happen, but yet, Obama did not speak about himself in a conceited manner. Throughout the speech, our President made it very clear that it was “us.”
Yesterday I was in change.org’s site to sign a petition… LOL and I can’t remember for the life of me what it was! Oh, I remember… a petition to ask Betty White to speak at the DNC. Well, anyway…. I saw an option where you can start your own petition and I thought, “Hell, why not?” Romney not disclosing his tax returns has really left a thorn in my side. Actually, more like a machete.
New 30 second ad put out… You know, sometimes the truth hurts – and this ad is metaphorically the absolute truth. Romney wants to pick YOUR pockets via increasing YOUR taxes while giving the 1% even MORE tax breaks.
And ladies, be careful. One woman in this video is pretty sure that the Mitt picked her pocket for her birth control. Romney has declared that he will “get rid” of Planned Parenthood. There goes birth control, breast exams and many other women’s health-related exams. I have always, and will always, support Planned Parenthood. They were there for me when I became sexually active at the young age of 16 – thirty years ago.
After the crash of the Cain Train, Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House, is now the front-runner in the polls. Yesterday, on CNN, Pete King was interviewed on his thoughts of Newt as President.
Congressman Peter T. King, a Republican, is serving his tenth term in the U.S. House of Representatives. He is Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee and also serves on the Financial Services Committee and Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. More…
LOL! This is great! Seriously, though… this woman is a candidate for the President of the United States? If she wins – which will never happen – I’m leaving the country and hiding in shame.
