This week the DNC, next week the RNC. Who's paying for all of these cheating wind bags to give their choppy speeches with unattainable promises. You know it's not campaign funds and the money is not coming out of their pockets. Isn't it nice that they get to go to a 4 day party (orgy) on someone else's dime when we know who the candidates were weeks ago. Do they really have to go through all of this hoopla?

Tonight’s convention was paid for by:
https://www.democrats.org/page/contribute/Joi...
Rich people donated and will be allowed to right off funds on their taxes. Basically people like Oprah choose for their tax dollars to go towards this event instead of whatever the federal government decides to do with it. The Republican finances will come from the same sources.

Wrong. Not one corporate PAC or lobbyist will donate to the Obama campaign, the DNC, or the convention. McCain has raised half of his money from those sources, and is indebted to them.

People like me are buying our government back from the sleazoids..

I take it that you didn’t even bother to follow the link. The link above gives you the organization that funds are posted too, and if you read my post, various supporters foot the bill. While investigating where our tax dollars go remember to include the:
Schools
Roads
Judicial system
Military
Medical research,
Individual parties do not have the resources to pay for the party we saw tonight, or the one we will see next week.

Barack Obama is a dangerous Marxist Buffoon who, if allowed to infect the presidency, will bring this country to its knees as never before.

But king didn't support killing babies in the womb and Oboma does and I would never vote for a guy like that.

The democratic convention was a three ring circus complete with clowns, acrobats, con men and one murderer. Teddy Kennedy!

All show and no substance!

Oh and by the way Barry Hussein is NOT BLACK - He's 50% white. He was abandoned by his black father(typical black) and reaised by his white mother.

How many aliases does Barry have??
Did you know he lied on the Illionois bar exam???

Do your homework - Barry Hussein is a fraud and a conman!

OK, so who paid for Louise Slaughter's plane ticket, hotel and meals. Corporate sponsors? So that tells me her special interest groups will get a kick back one way or another. They get what they want, even if it is no what's best for her constituents. No matter how you look at it, we the taxpayer, will pay for it.

Michelle Obama is the only woman in the world who can make Hillary Clinton appear to be warm and cuddly.

Is it me or does Michelle Obama remind you of Aunt Esther from the Sanford and Son TV show?

No. Aunt Esther had a warm & fuzzy side although she didn't let it show too often. Michelle Obama is an angry woman and has no warmth at all. Too much exposure to Rev Wright's hatespeech over the years.
sick of it too

No, she looks to white for that. If you are so proud of your race why would you try to look like another? This is not about education, mannerisms or accent. This is about changing your appearance, to look like something that you are not. This comment is not meant to be racist, just wondering.

To the first poster: you can move to Venezuela, Russia, Iran, Cuba, the Sudan, or any other country whose leaders liberals seem to be in love with and then you will know what a police state and government-sponsored terrorism really is. Of course, you'd have to fight all the traffic coming the other way. If this were the case here, you'd be in some rathole jail for even thinking something that stupid and that freak show outside the convention in Denver never would have happened.
