I agree with you all the way. Did you watch Nikki Haley's speech? I heard it live on NPR and I was so angry I could've puked. She said whenever she tried to make progress Obama has stood in her way...It wasn't Obama. It was CONGRESS!

I hope none of the obstructionists get reelected. They really really don't deserve their jobs anymore. It is disgusting how they have let our economy just hang in pergatory-- waiting to run Obama out of office before acting on anything-- and now they say nothing has changed because of Obama. Grr!!

From one Michelle to another....I think you have had WAY to much kool-aid honey!

I do nails for a living and I built a successful business by myself! Paid for school and worked my way into a job that is often a low paying job, not the case here. I have earned the respect of the clients who use my services. Many of the clients I service are multi millionaires. These women make sure I am paid even if they miss the appointment. I am telling you this for you to understand that the majority of these women (and if they have husbands) have worked for what they have just like me, they just had a little more opportunity for a better education than me. My mother was a single mom and illiterate, I had no idea you could go to college. Well guess what; I do now and together with my husband of 23 years have raised our daughter to know she can have anything she WORKS for. She is in her 3rd year pre-med and at the top of her class. WE are middle class and Republican. Mitt Romneys tax returns were made public for the last 2 years and that is all anyone should need. He paid over 3 million to chairity each year not including tything to his church, plus 13% of millions! Don't you watch CNN? They were flashing them all over the place! People who make money with thier money pay "capitol gains taxes" NOT income taxes. Obama looks like a joke lady, he gave a fraction of that to charity. If you believe Michelle Obama isn't wearing designer clothes and getting her nails done your mistaken...they are millionaires too! WHERE did they get all that money?? He has never had a job, and further more why doesnt the president release the writtings he did at Columbia U? Because they are radical and Islamic and he would loose the election! Obama raised taxes on many things since taking office, just not income taxes. Don't be so fooled. If that Obamacare goes through and we sell our house in 2013 we will all pay an extra 2% percent to that tax as well as a medicare tax! He is hurting business in this country and you need to open your eyes! I built my business long before Obama got into power so I have the ability to take any day of the week I want OFF!

WorkingGirl, congratulations on building a successful business, but you have been duped by these neocons. I have a masters and make a decent living, probably will have to pay more taxes when Obama reverts the taxes to those during President Clinton's and Ronald Reagan's time but I will still vote for him. The reason being the last republican administration was not really republican. The neocons totally derailed the republican party's ideals. I can't believe they used $2 Trillion of our money to kill 100s of thousands of innocents in Iraq when we could have spent a fraction of it to hunt down Bin Laden and gotten out of Afghanistan a long time back. They looked the other way while the wall street made merry with our savings and the real estate barrons colluded to jack up home prices irrationally directly impacting my savings and retirement plans. Romney may have given to charity and good of him for doing that but at the same time he is hiding his millions in offshore tax havens so that he avoids having to pay his fair share of taxes while the rest of us have to cover for him. I wish I had that kind of money to hide in these tax shelters. Now Mitt and Paul Ryan are going to change Medicare and Medicaid. Though I know by the time I am eligible there will be nothing left in those plans to cover me, but they are critical programs for the elderly and poor and health of the society in general.

Till the Republican party goes back to it's ideals (yes I do like small government and individual liberties), I am not voting for them.

No, Mitt and Paul Ryan want to FIX medicare. Under Obamacare, it will be totally broke by 2030! What about all the money Obamacare has already stolen from Medicare??? Maybe you should do more research and vote for the right candidate to fix America......Mitt Romney!

Linda where do you think the money for the $3 Trillion wars waged by President Bush came from? By taking money out of the entitlement programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Obamacare or Romneycare is probably one of the most Republican of any healthcare reform ideas not unlike the voucher program professed by Paul Ryan. It mandates EVERYONE to buy health insurance from private insurers. This is probably good for small businesses which can offload their responsibilities to provide health insurance to their employees. It will save tons of money for hospitals which today have to cater to the uninsured jacking up our insurance rates. More people being insured will reduce the premiums as well. The money that you are saying is being stolen from Medicare is the money saved by capping the increase in payments paid by medicare to hospitals and medical services providers. There is a huge amount of corruption and stealing that happens in Medicare and Medicaid, and this is just the first step to stop the bleeding.

Paul Ryans plan converts Medicare and Medicaid into a voucher program which won't pay enough to cover the ever increasing insurance premiums, ultimately leading to the elderly and poor becoming uninsured and a burden on others by increasing our insurance premiums further. This will directly impact the companies and small businesses which pay for their employees insurance or they will just pass on the increases to their employees like you and me (I have already seen this happen from my employer).

I have done my research, have you done yours?

Linda is right! SuMka I think you have derailed into a certain crash, I don't get it.

You think for one moment that YOU are covering taxes that Romney has not paid? Girl, you have got to be kidding. He paid 13% of some 43 million dollars....have you done the math? I don't think your covering anything.

I may not have a masters degree but I have done my homework on both of these candidates!

You are probably one of the stupidest human beings to ever walk the face of the earth.. I don't see how you are smart enough to breathe on your own without the aid of a respirator.. How can you even think that Obama has moved this country forward with the national debt up 4 trillion dollars more in debt than we were in just a few years ?? And you think it's ok to allow illegals into this country and get American's jobs while some of our " TRUE " citizens are in poverty .. You poor ignorant person !!! You believe in big government who wants to take the thinking process away from the American people??? Lord help us all and especially you !!!!!

Thanks for a collection of misinformed leader and the reaction of followers right up front. (Some knew you need to improve your research.) Here's the danger.

Political candidates (all) stand up there under confetti, streamers, etc and tout Mom-Apple Pie-Human rights-a kind and humane old age for all and top the diatribe off with "The AMERICAN PEOPLE are tired of waitin"...well, there's not a dry eye in the house. What Michele has said, however is a reverse version of the same rhetoric You made having a job with a corporation [most of the medium-well schooled of this country are hungrily seeking one, due to what most are prepared for and how America makes a lot of its middle class money] sound like "workin for the MAN-toiling night and day". Well that's another argument for another arena. Taming the 9-to-5 boss. ANOTHER SEPARATE ISSUE. Job does not equal easy. Nor, does it equal no bumps and scrapes. Hey, extreme sports are now in the mainstream and boarders get concussions and sprains all the time. Business America IS quite nasty in part. But you need to have jobs to complain about them. Those big bad companies need to flourish or you're not going to get your salary to shop on payday for a Prada bag or Blahnick shoes. And Joe Shmoe is now a little more dressed up for work and works a cubicle, not an assembly like - -but needing corporate life is the plight of the average guy. They're also the point and marketing end of all the things built by machines and laborers. Obama is a prime example of a politician who sounds good and promises an extra helping of Mom's apple pie and equality for all. Here's the indisputable truth: he's had 5 trillion dollars below the debt line (not to mention the already reputably in place money to spend above the line) and 4 years to make some progress against the slide. Nothin. Nada. The individual progress points are isolated graphs clipped out of an overall plunging trend design leading ever downward. Simple formula: there aren't enough rich people to support the poor people if we don't improve the plight of the poor and jobless AND we've already recruited the middle class into the "rich people" group to pay excessive taxes. Obama is NOT truly and meaningfully reducing those. Hey - - take out your last year's tax return. And, did that $300 "stimulus" check really make any dent in the average family's plight? Those are fluff - - Evita Perone throwing dollar bills from a train. It can be done. Bill Clinton, clay feet and all started with and cleaned up a 4 trillion dollar deficit. Thow away your previous party beliefs: listen to the mission and position IN THE PRESENT. Chris Christie is not Superman-and also sports a few deportment marks less than prep-school laudable - -but has seen a State Debt yeild to trimming and knows it can be done. Dont throw out babies with bathwater - but do throw out Obama. His time is up. Worse yet, his clubhouse is intrenched. Economically speaking dont throw good money after bad, and there is an immutable law of diminshing returns. Program after program with no yeild. Just say NO. It's like any other drug.

I came here to see last night's speeches, but MSNBC conveniently left out all the speeches done by "minority" speakers, such as Mia Love, Ted Cruz, Artur Davis & Luce Vela Fortuna. Wonder why they wouldn't include THOSE speakers?

When you say, i.e repeat Obama's lines/lies "it's all Congress' fault" don't you know that Republican-majority Congress send its resolution to the Senate where EVERYTNING dies???!!! And WHO is running the Senate? It's "dirty Harry" Reid & Democrats!!!! Get your facts straight if you still can be at least partually fair...

michelle37etc: What about the TWO years the Dems controlled Congress? That doesn't count as do nothing? Wake up and look at the facts. The economy is in the crapper under this guy's administration.

SuMka:Keep repeating the 100s 0f thousands in Iraq garbage. And by the way. if you thought we should have gotten Bin Laden sooner why weren't you upset when sleazy Bil;l Clinton blew three clear chances to get him? OK for a Democrat I guess.

Nice catch, wouldn't look good for the NBSC storyline

Excuse me NBC, I am sure it was just an oversight, but do you realize that you failed to include ANY of the minority speakers from yesterday evening? I am sure that is what it was, because we all know NBC News is totally unbiased and does not play favorites.

NBC!

Why are you only showcasing "selective" speeches by white people. I can only conclude that that

1) you are "racist" for refusing to post speeches by minorities,

2) sympathetic to the Democratic party by trying to spin the news to make the RNC appear to the party of "White" rich folks like Chris Mathews like to say, or

3) your incompetent.

Either one of these should be a stinging rebuke NBC, which is far from "fair and balanced," however it's clear that the majority of the liberal media only care about spinning the news to suit their needs, not simply reporting the facts.

Yeah, they cut away on the Minority speeches to air the good old times with Sam Donaldson and talk about the Democratic conventions mainly.

Mia Love was dynamite, Arthur Davis I didn't see as a great speaker, but he had good points.

I also notice that neither was put up on here, and I went here because NBC was advertising the line-up of speakers. I wanted to hear all of what they said, because I had to switch websites to be fully informed, AGAIN!

NBC opinion generating continues.

Did anyone really expect NBC to post the videos of any minority speakers? If that ever happened it would destroy their entire narrative!

I'm pretty sure the wars cost us $1 trillion for the years Bush was in office since 2001. That would mean the wars cost us $143 billion per year. Budget defecits under Bush were in the $200-300 billion range. Under Obama they are $1.4 trillion. Anyone who thinks Bush was responsible for the economic collapse does not know economics or the "Acts" put into place by Carter, Clinton, and the Democratic Congress of 2006. I'm very happy Congress is doing nothing right now, it means they aren't screwing anything up. Where have the American people gotten this idea that we depend on the government, have we just gotten that lazy and now demonize the rich. I've always thought its funny that one day the GOP can be called a bunch of rich people and the other day they are a bunch of poor gun toting rednecks. And anyone who is a minority isn't a "real" minority, which is blatantly a racist position much more than just calling Obama angry. Maybe those minorities have realized that life is much easier to live when you try to better yourself everyday and not take handouts. I mean aren't people out there tired of being taken care of like children for their whole life. Or do you think it's your "right" to be taken care of by people who have worked to be where they want to be. Please go to a country where that kind of stuff happens. There are plenty of them out there...they're all about to collapse in on themselves, but they are still out there. I like being able to work my butt off and enjoy the fruits of my labor, why am I being demonized for that.

It's really pretty simple... it boils down to two choices. We can keep going the way we are and end up like most of Europe or we can make a change and attempt to get back on top. Things are never going to get better with only 49% of people paying taxes and the government creating more agencies, hiring more people and spending more than they take in. It's not about idealogy, it's just simple math. The fix is going to be painful. that's a fact. Promising the entitlement crew more money for votes is going to sink this ship.

wheres can I see Arthur Davis's speach, pretty convienent how msdnc omitted that

Chuck and Joe,

Do your homework, GW Bush amassed $5.3 trillion in debt before he left office, and when he left, he left a "gift" behind. A gift that kept on giving. (Continuing to amass additional debt!) The myths about Bush's "low" deficit spending are all based on the BS that commitments like the wars were off budget. (meaning they didn't count against him toward a deficit in many quoted "statistics".)

Bottom line is that Bush signed into law so much unfunded spending and then cut government revenues with his tax cuts, that the hole was huge when Obama took office and it continued to sink deeper because of the continuing unfunded commitments.

The wars were not immediately over on January 20th 2009. That continued unfunded liability Bush signed up for, kept digging the hole deeper. The unfunded prescription drug plan didn't end on 1/20/2009 either, but kept digging the hole deeper, because of Bush's commitment. The Bush tax cuts didn't expire on 1/20/2009 either, meaning the additional amassing debt Bush signed up for. And there's plenty more, but those 3 big hitters alone account for almost 80% of "Obama's debt" increases.

One of the first things Obama did was put the war costs in the budget. Didn't change what we spent, but now counted as "deficit spending".

The reality is that Obama's budget proposals, (regardless of the fact they weren't passed by Congress,) actually decreased deficit spending. Now both parties are to blame for not passing his budgets. Republicans would have blocked them if they matched the Paul Ryan proposal dollar for dollar, just for the simple fact that it would be Obama's proposal. And the few that aren't such fanatical Obama haters, didn't want to see any defense spending cuts, even though the war spending was winding down. A lot of Democrats didn't vote for his proposals either, because they thought his cuts were too severe. So in reality, the whole business about "no budgets" is in fact the fault of Congress, not the President.

The fact is that about the only deficit and debt that you can actually hang on Obama vs. already existing Bush commitments, is the Stimulus, and possibly the two year extension of the Bush tax cuts he got blackmailed into signing. Not chump change by any means, but a real grand total over his years in office of about a trillion dollars. Considering the recession and reduced revenues associated with it, that really isn't that bad and far more conservative than Bush.

On top of that, over the last few years because of the global recession, the money we have borrowed actually is at a net negative interest rate. The debt service we pay is less than the devaluation of inflation. What that means is that had we sat on that money and not borrowed, we would have lost more than what the debt service costs. Not to mention that none of that money would be in circulation in our economy.

You guys listen to Fox news too much who only give part of the story. If you want to look at just raw numbers, no doubt the debt has increased significantly during the calendar period that Obama has been in office. But when you look at why, you can easily that the vast majority of that debt growth came from paying the bills that Bush committed to.

If you hate Obama, I really don't care. But be men about and just come out and say it. If you believe a person like him is somehow inherently incapable of responsible government. Just say so and we will understand why you think so. But don't create lies and gross misrepresentations to "make your case". I don't think that either of you are probably just idiots who can't see the forest for the trees, but are likely just people with a very strong bias against the man. That's OK, it's a free country and if you want to have biases and/or be bigots, that is well within your rights. Just please stop lying and mis-representing the real facts by only telling part of the story.

l Iike the fact that the Republicans also blocked the $30 Billion tax break to Big Oil when the boasted $60 Billion last year alone. Mitt maybe Sensitive, relatable, Resolute and Decisive, unfortunately it is for the Rich and seeks to cut Social Security and Medicare. He also wants the Poorest to pay the Most for Insurance costs. His SENSITIVITY is only for taking a DUMP on the Middle Class and the sooner the Majority of voters realize this - the better off we will be.

Hello concerned...do your homework before making false statements. You apparently have not heard a single thing about the Romney/Ryan plan for Social Security and Medicare. Where have you been it has been all over the media for 2 weeks that their plan is to NOT cut social Security or Medicare and to RESTORE the 7.6 billion $$$ to Medicare that Obama "transfered" to pay for Obamacare. The plan is out there...listen to more than you just want to hear.

He forgot to mention his party almost shut down America solely for re-election purposes. Too much is never enough.

CoCo,

Well, you may have done your homework, but you didn't study very well. First of it isn't $7.6 billion, it is $716 billion. And not a dime of it is benefits. All of it is in over payments to insurance companies and providers. Yes, that's right, we have been overpaying insurance companies and that was fundamentally "budgeted for". So rather than continuing to pay these people money they do not have legally coming to them, he has taken that money and applied it to the Affordable Healthcare Plan. Now it also turns out, that that money will in fact provide improved benefits for Medicare recipients among which is closing the "donut hole" in the Prescription drug plan and providing for payment of preventative care doctors visits.

But Mittens has promised to restore that $716 billion and repeal Obamacare. Meaning he is going to cut the donut hole benefit and the preventive care benefits just added, all so he can give the overpayment back to the insurance companies. So just who is cutting Medicare benefits? "Obamacare" just added some, but Romney is going to take those away in favor of throwing extra profit to the insurance companies and providers.

Now, the next time you do homework, take into account who you are getting your information from and seek out more credible sources. This is just another example of Romney misrepresenting the truth to sound good. The artful liar sort of tells the truth but doesn't tell the whole story leading the listener to perceive something that isn't true.

So did Obamacare transfer some Medicare funds to the new healthcare program? Yes, but only in the sense that it was money being improperly paid out and now using it for new added benefits to Medicare. Did this money transfer take away any benefits? No, absolutely not, instead it adds benefits. Is Romney going to put the money back where it came from? I'm sure he will try because he would clearly hate to see insurance companies making a fair profit instead of being overpaid. So who's cutting Medicare benefits? That's a no brainer, Obama added them and Romney is going to undo that.

Now go back and read his plan again with the education you just got in mind and you will notice that he had you believing something that wasn't true. Did he happen to mention where that $716 was used? Did you get the impression it would result in lost Medicare benefits? Did they mention that repealing Obamacare and restoring that $716 billion was going to result in a loss of Medicare benefits and a restoration of over payments to insurance companies? No of course not, because these guys are artful liars and you just perceived some falsehood they didn't actually say, but very much implied.

Now, you get an incomplete for a failed homework assignment. Go back and study harder next time.

DR K..on another website I caught a thread that described last night...he said it was like I turned a corner and there was fresh air and the deceit, disgust and dread were gone! Another post said they were so happy to be happy again.

Maybe there is hope for a great America again. We can hope these people get in office and change our life from doom and gloom to prosperity. We must not only vote but must help these candidates to get votes from others. That group of successful women, men, and minorities with class and integrity and no hidden agenda makes one proud to be an American. I wonder what Sandra Fluke will say as Obama's chosen speaker.

Agreed!

and I'm ashamed that you are a fellow American.

tothetop777 you should be ashamed of yourself! Politics aside that is rude and disrespectful to say about anyone.

Get a grip Robin!

That reminds me...why do we have a still/brewery in the white house? Who drinks it all? Obama says he takes a supply on Air Force One with him. If Romney gets in the white house the brewmaster will lose his job. Maybe Obama will take him to Chicago for him and Emanuel.

Hmmm, and Obama is good for the Constitution??? The HHS Mandate takes away religious freedom. First Amendment rights are slowly being eroded by this president and we need a change!

That's for the Court to decide. It looks like an employee-law issue, not a 1st amendment issue. Do you support the separation of State and Church?

It's amazing how the Libtards think this country is heading in the right direction. Obama inherited a mess and made it worse, always covering his a$$ by blaming Bush. Reagan inherited a mess and turned it around. He didn't fail at every turn and blame Carter.

Juneau, you're obviously not very familiar with the U.S. Constitution.

It was worthless...you didn't miss anything ! He didn't come to any knowledge...he lost an election and took his cookies and left home.....WAHHH

No ann marie........MSNBC is worthless,why didn't they show the speech, and let the people decide, who the h3ll are you to say it was worthless, I thought it was a great speech, and so did most Americans, Any one who watches and believes msnbc, are worthless. msnbc is the most racist and bigoted news organization on tv.

Ann Marie, why don;t you just say it? "Oh no! he left the plantation!"

I agree Z-man BUT you must tune into Rachael Maddow and Chris Mathews regularly to see where all the misinformation is coming from. Just watch these bitter, jealous, untruthful fools and you will see where a lot of these threads come from. Even Al Gore fired Keith Olderman!

Now that was an informative speech!

That's a very touching story. It shows that good people can come from even the worst of families.

Right Bob. Even hippies can have a decent kid.

Robert, they all bought new kneepads for the Democrat convention!

WorkingGirl! do me a favor and learn to spell before you post things on the web for the world to view. I may have a college education but I learned to spell in grammar school. It does nothing for your credibility.

Robin as you seem to be more concerned about a couple of spelling error? I guess that you must agree with all of the speakers and also find a great need for America to become conservative and accountable again. I certainly do, we have had enough of an irresponsible and reckless executive branch and we have an opportunity to have an incredibly successful and well educated candidate.

I think American can once again be great but in order to do that we have to vote in a President who will exemplify great qualities. A President a long resume of business success, a Law degree and a political track record that documents his determination to make the most of challenges that lay ahead. He knows the law, he knows first hand that States can actually maintain their own business without having to have ask for "special favors" from the Federal Government. He has one success after another and we as a nation can be proud of Romney as a leader for American and know that when he is tasked to participate in International Affairs he will stand tall for our nation, he will stand tall next to our allies and he will support Nations who need America with compassion and dignity. God Bless the Romney family the are deserving of a new address on Pennsylvania Ave.

I have to say of Ann Romney. She is an astounding woman. She makes 63 look like the new 40. She is graceful, straight forward, understands that supporting community and country is a privilege and public service is a part of the package in being an American woman.

So Robin... back to your post....So you "may" have a college education or you "do" have a college education. Just saying, my son's studied clarity in writing and composition in 6th grade so they don't continue to make mistakes that dilute comprehension.

What you said !

I'm a grammar nazi(excuse the term) and while I have a problem with her spelling, I don't think it matters here as long as she gets her point across. So find something else to complain about if you can because what she said is spot on.

Big J, I agree 100%!

txmom...and just wait until Romney cleans house in the Department of Justice! The investigations will take 4 years. Obama will be gone and their will be NO ONE to pardon Holder.

CoCo I would imagine that Obama will sign an Executive order offering a pass to anyone from his administration for criminal behavior.

Maybe you should look into the facts. Watch "Monumental" by Kirk Cameron and see who started this country. Facts are always facts. And why would it be so bad if God did start this country??

Oh...really! Just like Obama who after just months in office raised the...are you ready for what HE called it? The sin tax on Alcohol and cigaretts! there is a real seperation there.

To call people pissants, says a lot about who YOU are.

Your lucky for all the men and women who have defended this great county that gave you that right.

If all these socialist librals are left to handle things pretty soon people will be marrying a cousin or worse thier dog!

Thank you for making your position on the 1st Amendment clear. Now, do you mind answering my question?

I think this country was built by individuals who believed in the principle rules of God! God him self wasn't wagging a wand, but people with twisted minds have a way of twisting reality.

workinggirl!, many of the individuals who "built this country" owned slaves too. My question to you, do you support the separation of State and Church?

Read the First Amendment. It does NOT say that religion cannot be practiced or that God needs to be taken out of this country. It says that we are FREE to practice our religion. Obama is trashing the First Amendment!

Dude;get into the 21st century! I am not saying the slave days were right, but we all have history in race. I am Native American and my grand mother was pulled from her parents, sent to english school and catholic church by the white man. Forbidden to speak her "savage" language. Get over it; we have! It wasn't what we would consider right in this day and age.

Bottom line juneau....if it hasn't been totally clear to you yet I want a represenitive that believes in the 10 commandments! Is that clearing things up?

Seriously people? Crack a friggin history book, PLEASE! This country was founded by immigrants who were feeling the pressures of forced religion. This country was founded on FREEDOM OF RELIGION and freedom of religion does not consist of Americans having the right to choose their own religion but they have to put up with the MAIN religion of the country. What I see here are a bunch of closed minded biggots who are failing to realize that we as Americans should ALL be working together to make this country better and not fighting over different beliefs. Seriously, pay attention and stop believing the smoke being blown up your collective asses.

workingGirl!, do you actually believe that a god created the 10 commandments? I mean do you really believe that? Have you read them lately? Are you really supportive of thought crime? Do you really support punishing people for what they think? That's the 10th commandment. Anyway, I can't believe that you, in the 21st century, actually believe a god created that stuff and not people.

Bottom line, if you don't support the separation of State and Church, you are not supporting the Constitution.

Linda, because of the Constitution, it is impossible for religion to make government policy in the USA. We were the first country in the history of documented civilization to create a wall of separation between State and Church. Problem is, unless practices are challenged, unconstitutional practices continue. Did you know it is illegal in 13 states for an atheist to hold elected public office? Of course that's unconstitutional, but religious politicians are too fearful of losing their elections by suggesting they throw those arcane, religious laws out. So they remain on the books. Do you support the separation of State and Church? It's amazing, I can't find one person that will say yes.

And Linda, you are not free to practice religion without limit, you are free to believe in religion. Big difference. You will be thrown in jail if your religion says magic is better than insulin for your sick child.

Juneau: The first Ammendment does not mention "separation of church and state". It reads:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

I support this 100%, as do pretty much all conservatives I know. I do not want congress to establish a religion. The verbiage here, when read in the context of the vernacular used when it was written, is clearly referring to the establishment of a state religion--that is, a federally sanctioned official religion of the USA. Likewise, the federal government should not prohibit people form exercising their religion. The following DO NOT go against the constitution:

- To govern by the guiding moral prinicipals of Christianity.
- To only chose to vote for those people we believe will continue to lead this country and make and enforce laws that match our belief system, whether that belief system is based in Christianity or in any other religion.
- To put "In God we trust" on our currency.
- To put "under God" in our Pledge of Allegience.
- To pray before official Federal government meetings, sessions in congress, etc.

Interestingly enough, even if the 1st Ammendment required the US Congress to make no law that violates the "separation of church and state", as you claim, it only applies to the US Congress in their making of laws. It says nothing about what each individual state can do, which means the 1st Ammendment does not prevent states from establishing a religion. So, do YOU support the 1st Ammendment AS IT IS WRITTEN?

In actuality, the courts, over time, made multiple activist rulings built on top of one another to derive "rights" that are not in the constitution and prevent states from keeping and enacting laws that the CONSTITUTION gives them the right to keep and enact (e.g., prayer in schools). While some of these rights, such as the right to privacy, are good and I think ought to be in the Consitution, they are NOT. That is why I further believe the Constitution should be followed by passing additional AMMENDMENTS, not by activist judges determining when and why it should be changed.

Believing that God inspired the formation of this nation and its Constitution (as I do), does not mean I have to agree with a court's incorrect interpretation of what each part of it means. God inspired, human defiled.

Juneau, can you please quote for us here the 1st Ammendment in its entirety and then explain where it says that there is a "wall of separation" between church and state? The fact is, it does not - that is just a standard atheist talking point. What it does say is that *Congress* shall pass no law establishing a religion; nor shall they prohibit the practice of religion. Nor does it prohibit laws being based on religious principles. That is up for the people to decide through their elected representatives. There is absolutely nothing in the Constitution that would require removal of God from public life.

Juneau, we can see you think you're really intellegent, but most here today consider you mis-educated at best, delusional at worst!

Romney isn't going to keep your money safe either. :) He is a crook too.

Southieface...you know that unless you provide proof that Romney is a crook you are guilty of lible. I don't think you can prove it.

workingGirl...Romney has LOTS of money. He will NOT have to take orders from the likes of George Soros or Valerie Jarrett. He will owe no one money. He will not have a Valerie Jarrett in the white house to call the shots from her and her relative Soros. Probably won't have any slum lords "working" in the white house.

workingGirl, seriously you don't know what Shalom means??? It is Hebrew for peace!!! You support the Republican party who is supposedly made up of Christians, whose Bibles have been translated from Hebrew and you don't know what Shalom means??? What tiny world do you live in?

tlg - honestly? nice childish personal attack

Deb, it's great you get your birth control pills paid for by the taxpayers why we run up $16,000,000,000,000 in debt. This president has only one thing he does well, and that is campaign. Everything else is a disaster.

your a dem social media plant. Trying to keep the division thing going are you not? Divide up America into all your different groups and cram the idea into each groups heads that the evil Repubs are out to get you. If you have to resort to dividing America and then falsely scaring each group into voting for you then you really have no positive agenda and or vision. Just divide and scare/demonize. I hope we can have an adult discussion someday.

War on Women? Dems Keynote Speaker is BILL CLINTON. Now thats HYPOCRISY at its BEST

Dennis...but Hilary is not going to be there and Sandra Flute is and Obama just bought her a fresh supply of birth control pills....WAHOOOOOO

NBC's editors are apparently bigoted racists.

Sad. Very Sad

It will be one divide and scare/demonize speech after another. Hope has left the building.

always-- can't wait for the brilliant knowledge and statesmanship of eva longoria. or the compassion and inclusion of the abortion queens.

here's some FACTS for you jackie: obama promised to post every bill up for passage on the internet 5 days before signing it. FACT: pelosi said we have to pass the obamacare bill to know what's in it. FACT: obama had both houses of congress for 2 years, and the dems did not try to shut him down. FACT: the GOP only controlled congress for 6 years, dems took control in 2006. FACT: obama said he would cut the deficit in half in his first term. instead it grew by $5 trillion. FACT: obama presented budgets in 2010 and 2011; neither got any support from dems or repubs in congress. FACT: the senate under "dirty harry" reid has not voted on a budget in 4 years. FACT: a leader brings people together. FACT: our nation has never been more divided. FACT: obama obviously cannot lead or persuade anyone who isn't already in his corner.

jack...another fact: the House has passed 32+jobs bills in the 18 months and NONE of them have left Harry Reid's desk. Obama has not criticized him for it.

Fact: Obama is saying that the deficit was much worse than he ANTICIPATED! Anticipated?? Hello! Did he not do his homework? Is he so incompetent/ignorant that he did not bother to check the facts and figures? Did he just go into the presidency blindly blowing smoke?

NBC's RACISM.

Convenient how MSNBC cut away their coverage during Ted Cruz, Mia Love, Artur Davis & Luce Vela Fortuna's speeches. Who's perpetuating the "racism" here?

wah wah wah, they aren't helping the GOP win.

Here is a fact for you, the real story is about the Republicans changing the rules of their own nomination to exclude Ron Paul.

Where is that vision? Chicago? OBAMA and his crew of Rahm-Blago-Daley-Axelrod and Slum Lord Valerie Jarrett delivered that vision to Chicago for decades. I would say you need GLASSES.

Dennis when we get a new DOJ they might all be in the slammer with Holder
