  • You have to love the shifting of the gears from the gallon members of the left who were ready to fight to the death for Michelle Obama's honor now gleefully attacking Melania Trump.

  • Look, I know that these puff piece speeches are somewhat constrained in content, but you've got to be a little bit more creative than just copying someone else's.

    In a section, Mrs Trump said: "My parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise; that you treat people with respect."

    Mrs Obama's speech in 2008 carried the lines: "And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values: that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say you're going to do; that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don't know them, and even if you don't agree with them."

    Mrs Trump's speech continued: "[My parents] taught me to show the values and morals in my daily life. That is the lesson that I continue to pass along to our son. And we need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow, because we want our children in this nation to know that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them."

    Mrs Obama said: "And Barack Obama and I set out to build lives guided by these values, and pass them on to the next generations. Because we want our children, and all children in this nation, to know that the only limit to the height of your achievement is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work for them."

    I saw that too. Pretty great.

    I'm sure we'll hear how they're completely different though.

    Run that one by me again please? I've seen michelle called fat, ugly, mannish, dumb, a whore, all kinds of ridiculous shit that you would never say to her face, but criticising trumpette (because I can't be bothered to remember how to spell her name) for her speech-writing is perfectly legitimate.

    Get back to me when I start to attack her personally.

  • It has just begun an old chum and I was mostly referring to one of your butt boys Cleve.

  • Butt boys? Seriously? Still with the gay jokes? I honestly don't expect that out of you.

  • Time for republicans to unite and get behind Trump. What is the alternative Hillary Clinton? It should be a no brainer even for conservatives not happy with Trump that he would be better than Clinton. Trump is better on the issues. He is not as pro life as I would want but the alternative is Clinton and compared to her he looks much better on the issue. On the second amendment he has aligned himself with the NRA and will be better on the 2nd amendment than Clinton. Trump will do better in securing our border than anyone else. Trump has surrounded himself with conservatives, picked a staunch conservative for a running mate and even if he is not as conservative as I would like he is the only choice any conservative can make in 2016. To not vote or vote 3rd party is just a vote for Clinton.

    In honesty I didn't mean homosexual, just euphemism for flunky follower fellow Traveler acolyte...

    (but were inclined to I am not so politically correct as that I couldn't make a gay joke if I wanted to.)

    Melania is very attractive and very intelligent (I read where she speaks 5 different languages) and gave an excellent speech at the convention. A+ for Melania, she will make a great first lady.
