Ha!

Fox News analyst Charles Krauthammer claimed Wednesday that there was no way officials moved President Barack Obama's speech indoors due to concerns about the weather, saying Democrats have known what Thursday's weather will be for "months."

"It wasn't the weather, they knew what the weather was going to be months ago. This was clearly a response to the fear of a sea of empty seats, and that's why this is being done," Krauthammer said.

I wonder if he can tell me whether it will rain on my wedding day...

[corianderstem]

Does he mean they could have predicted it would rain knowing where and when they'd be there? If that's the case, then shouldn't the Republicans known about their own reschedulings well? Considering they scheduled their convention in Florida during hurricane season?

Or is he actually implying that the Democrats actually control the weather?

[PhilsFan]

Weather has a clear liberal bias.

Hannity kept talking about the rain thing last night.

Watching him freak out at the DNC is very entertaining.

Accdg to him there is hardly any chance of rain and they can't give the tickets away.

No kidding. Do you think Weather would have dared attempt a drought if there'd been a Republican in office this year? Bish, please. I bet the Dems paid Weather well to bring some more ammo for the climate change argument.

the election could be over before it even begins

the Obama team brought in an assassin.

On the whole, I'm more interested in content than delivery and I'm sure I'll be able to find the transcripts online. Thank you for suggesting the speakers. I stay away from political happenings and talking heads more and more these days. Deliberately.

The Clintons, however, are a guilty pleasure for me.

[corianderstem]

Ugh. I'm glad they're looking for her.

You're not helping, idiot delegate.

[MrsSpringsteen]

How do these racists and psychos become delegates? Don't they have background checks for security reasons?

[anitram]

Delegates are just basically members of the party on a state level who are pretty involved, so I wouldn't expect a high level of functioning from them. What an idiot.

I'll just say you don't seem to hold Bill Clinton to the same standard as Paul Ryan when it comes to "lies."

they are the American Taliban along witrh some Uber Right Catholics.... and not much if a fan of Ultra-Orthodox Jews either Except THEY (usually) don't go around trying to shove their religion down non-Jewish folks! That's goys, people.

1) This week is the Democratic National Convention so it wasn't "Uber Right Wing Republicans" trying to reinstate God into the Democratic Party Platform, it was fellow Democrats.

2) The religion being shoved down the throats of the booing Democrats was as follows: “we need a government that stands up for the hopes, values and interests of working people and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-given potential.”

Would you boo that dazzled?

Let me ask you something, were the signers of the Declaration of Indepence shoving religion down the throat of "everyone else's[/B] personal religious, spiritual, or ethical humanistic views," with "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights"?

So you agree that Paul Ryan lied then, just as Bill Clinton did?

Current weather: clear with a 100% chance of demagoguery

Pretty sure I heard Clinton say "god bless America"

I'm amazed that you seem incapable of recognizing that your side does exactly the same thing. You call out demagoguery as if it's some unique Sin of the Democrats, rather than Par for the Course for politicians of all stripes. . .

Like a certain president just said, "it takes brass to accuse the other guy of doing what you just did."
