Title: Who's the mystery speaker at the DNC?
Post by: LiberalJunkie on September 05, 2012, 05:10:44 PM
Heard news about this, who do you think it will be?

I hope its not Uncle Joe Lieberman, even though I think they made plenty sure that he wouldn't be there.


Or Jon Huntsman, if he feels like killing his political career REALLY quickly.

Lieberman is over in Iraq with McCain and Graham.

How about Ron Paul? ;)

Betty White to upstage Clint "washup star" Eastwood.

That seems most likely.

On a personal note I really don't care for these mystery speaker things. It's a sideshow and makes the conventions have almost an E-Hollywood feel to them.

Probably some random ex-GOP congressman.

Maybe they have a hologram Ronald Reagan calling for increasing the debt ceiling and compromise in Congress.

NVM.

Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman, and Kerry Washington? While I didn't have high hopes for this speaker, I was hoping it would be someone serious, not some actresses. :(

Chuck Todd tweeted that AZ was a hint.  So, no clue.

Gabby Giffords possibly.

Twitterverse has Giffords leading the pledge allegiance tomorrow.

As long as she stays off the social issues it could be good.

Could be Mark Kelly and Giffords at the same time.

Okay.  You're socially conservative.  We get it already.

Guys I'm not the one bringing up the social issues. The democrats have been hammering those all week attacking the GOP claiming them to be agents of intolerance.

That's where you're wrong. In taking God out of the platform and removing Jerusalem as captial of israel from their platform they showed themselves intolerant of Christians and Jews. The last virtue in a society prior to its fall is tolerance. Unless they are Christians.

Clint Eastwood's chair, which will have a conversation with an invisible Clint Eastwood.

Not sure you understand what the word tolerance means.

I don't have a problem with the Dems mentioning God in their platform if they also include a section welcoming nonreligious Americans to their party and praising secular culture.

And maybe they will! My guess: Christopher Hitchens is the mystery speaker. The Republicans could have had a Reagan hologram, after all.

She's a democrat I do like. She's one I pray recovers to the point that she could serve again(regardless my own opinions)

NBC said Giffords is leading the pledge.

Would Giffords be ready for this? I sure wouldn't. She's still hasn't fully regained speech
