Mitt Romney blasted "liberal Washington", saying John McCain is a "prescription for every American who wants change in Washington."
Huckabee will expand on the convention's theme of Country First and as well as talking up McCain's "love of America, vision for the future and long record of service and sacrifice on our behalf."
Giuliani, according to early reports of his speech, will tout Palin as "one of the most successful governors in America" who has worked to cut taxes and government spending.

the republicans talk about hating big government like their old school slave owning counterparts yet still support wiretapping u.s. citizens, the unbelievably intrusive, redefining marriage as being exclusively between a man & a woman, & the constitution stomping patriot act.
its just like in 1984 where all of the ministry buildings practice the opposite of what they're namesakes suggest.
foolishness & bigotry is apparently very contagious.

I thought it was hilarious when Romny called the Dems the party of big brother...UH...who authorized illegal wire taping, suspension of habius corpus, the patriot act, preemptive raids on peace groups, the "terrorist" watch list which has old ladies and children on it etc. etc. etc...

That wasn't a speech for McCain in '08 it was a speech for Romney in '12.

II missed the speech by Giuliani but I'm assuming it went something like, "9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11. Vote for McCain or 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11"

The lack of respect, lack of humility and the abundant arrogance on display tonight saddens me. I am concerned about the future of this country as we continue to become more divided and disrespectful. Tell me, did tonight inspire greatness in anyone here or around the world?

I like Huckabee. He irritates me the least. Palin's on right now, and she is taking the gloves off. I wonder what the repugnicans will say when the dems come for her. They'll be crying sexism all over the place. I say you if you want to play with the big boys, don't cry when you get mud in your face.

Watch the Daily Show tonight to see some hilarious juxtaposition on how the treated Hillary and now how they are crying foul about the way Palin is being treated. It's amazing how the spin machine works.

I love roast sessions, but this one made me kind of upset. They didn't really talk about anything important, they was just wasting time for Palin.

Tonight I became an embarassed American, as hundreds of people of one of our major parties cheered "Drill baby Drill". How dispicable we have become. Come on Republicans, dont turn Environmentalism into a Democrat vs. Republican issue, it was on its way to be universal.

Great question, Josh -
I think that many journalists lean slightly left-of-center and some of them are cultural elites. Does that mean that journalism itself is liberal or elitist? That might seem like a dumb question - and if one is inclined to swallow the rhetoric about the "liberal media," it's a very dumb question indeed - but I think it's worth a look.
The reality is that, regardless of personal political affiliation, good journalists go out of their way to present facts objectively, without bias. It doesn't always appear that way - and certainly bias creeps in more often than it should. But objectivity is the goal.
I think it's strange that we're still talking about the "liberal media" after the spectacular failure of the MSM in the run-up to the Iraq war, to give just one example of how the fear of being pegged as biased caused journalists to abnegate their sacred responsibility to speak truth to power.
But I hope others will jump in here ... I've made my bias clear.

I'd rather have a complete shift away from bipartisan marginalization towards true egalitarianism--no parties, shoulder to shoulder, as one people truly out of many--but I understand the reality...

Quite a contrast from the "not about party, it's about country" messages last night. I think the Republican Party is desperately grasping at straws and will ultimately fail to change the minds of the American people. We've seen what 8 years of Republican 'rule' looked like, and frankly, I don't think we want to hitch that ride again.
