Do we have to be reminded every single day about how hypocritical the press is about the two parties?!?! I cannot even imagine the "mean, awful Nazi" comments that would have come out if the Republicans had attacked like the Democrats did last night.

Anyway, I'm just glad the Republicans stayed away from the nonsense like "stay out the bushes" from Jackson. (Clinton doesn't know what "is" means, Jackson has never even heard of the word "of") If that is what it takes to win, then try this: "Lieberman is partially right - to make this a better country, we need less gore on television, but we also need NO GORE IN THE WHITE HOUSE."

Wait, it doesn't rhyme. Sorry Reverend.

I kept wondering what Juanita and the other victims felt. The evidence overwhelmingly shows that the Democrats cheered wildly Mon. night for a serial rapist -- a man who brutalizes women sexually and then uses goons to harass and intimidate them for years. Just when you think the Democrats couldn't possibly get any sicker, they get even more disgusting.

My response is a vigorous thumbing of the nose. And if the Democrats don't calm down, I might *flick* things at them!

The dems are sounding more and more strident and desperate. Sad really...

I cannot beleive that the Democrats think that spending other peoples money is the best fix it. More money will not give a child better education, it will only give schools more time to anything other than educate. Health care for children should be the respnsibility of those who brought them into the world, [with a few exceptions] and not the many who can barely take care of their own. These people should not be where they are when at one and the same time they condem those that prosper while they take every hand out in the book to bring prosperity to themselves. When a 6yr old child can look at a man and tell he's a father then those children are better of than we are and don't need anything we can give them.

Once again, according to the Dems, the GOP is a bunch of mean-as-hell conservatives pretending to care about Americans to get elected so that once there, they can unmask themselves for the fascists they really are. The Dems, however, truly *care* about Americans.

I'm tired of the Dems "caring" so much about Americans. They care so much that they want to run our lives for us- raise our children in Hillary's village, and spend our money with their "responsible" tax cuts (as opposed to the irresponsible Republican cuts which would give me back *my* money that *I* earned instead of spending it on Gore-supported programs to fight bovine flatulence).

And if the GOP doesn't agree with their policies, then they cannot possibly "care". They're cold, heartless maniacs running wild with AK-47s and trying to divvy up the budget surplus amongst the CEOs on Wall Street, while leaving children uneducated and starving. Oh and they want the elderly to starve too, if they want prescription meds. If they'll do without the meds, they can eat. And evil of all evils, some GOP folk want a woman to make her "choice" at the point of conception and not in her third trimester.

Fortunately for W. and the rest of the GOP, the scare tactics won't work. Americans are actually much smarter than Democrats give them credit for, and they are not going to trust Al Gore with our current prosperity. So, as Hillary suggested, I'll look forward to inauguration day in January. It will be a grand old party indeed when W. is sworn in and we'll finally be free from the Clintons' "caring" nature.

I fully expected endless attacks on Republicans and violations of the truth by Democrats. The Democrats haven't surprized me one bit. After all, liberal Democrats won't let ANYTHING keep them from holding power -- not the rule of law, not the truth, and certainly not that inconvenient bit of paper known as the U.S. Constitution. If you want to punish yourself by watching their orgy of self-congratulation on TV this week, be sure to keep the anti-nausea pills handy.

I guess the properly correct (quotas) audinece thought the performances were fine. Am I out of step or is all this stuff anachronistic? Trotting old class warefare cliches and the worn out quasi-socialist messages just seems very strange to me. Didn't the imperial New York Times says these delegates are to the left of their rank and file? Something is very awry in L.A. S, Pepper Mineola, Texas

Oh what a bunch of pitiful, whimpering fools. In all the hublabaloo they have yet to get anything but weak applause for their man of the hour, Al Gore. I mean you can just see the air leave the sails during each speech when big Al get's his plug. What a riot.

Anyway, the smoke shall dissipate (as it did after Philly), Clinton's little self-love ceremony will fade from memory, Jesse will venture off to the next shakedown, and come election day the voters will look at Al Gore and decide they cannot vote for him. Bye bye!

So typical - I was dissapointed that not once did I hear the Republicans accused of trying to destroy the planet or kill everyone on it like they did after the 1994 elections.

They weren't attacks, they were defenses - and weak ones at that. There was no place to find their grip.
