Is anyone else getting tired of the "Obama says you didn't build that" rhetoric?

The funny thing is that they accuse Obama of running a negative campaign at the same time.

How is it negative when Obama has embraced his statement as a belief In collectivism.  Its a genuine contrast between parties. The Dems will rally collectivism next week and you guys won't call that negative. And republicans should not either. Contrast does not necessarily equal negative.

It's not about collectivism. Most Republicans are social conservatives, and hence are inherently collectivist themselves. A single line has been misinterpreted and used as a major theme for an entire convention. That's negativity.

A very touching tribute to Bush 41/43.

Presidents with integrity, honesty and courage.

P.S. What's this about Santo attacking Paul?

Don't worry, the more the GOP dwells on it, the worse they lose.

Yeah, it's incredibly petty and small. As numerous commentators have pointed out, it would be like if the Democrats based on their convention one of Mitt's many gaffes. Can you imagine if the theme of the first night of the DNC was "We don't like to fire people"?

I would love to see John McCain as Secretary of State in a Romney administration.

Great speech from the Maverick.

McCain doesn't seem to like the idea of cutting the national debt.

"WE NEED TO CUT SPENDING!"

"WE CAN'T AFFORD OBAMA'S HUGE MILITARY CUTS!"

Incredible.  Way to stay on message.

The only people that matter...the Rice-Martinez-Ryan consecutive speeches! C-SPAN said that Fortuno is speaking now and not just is wife. Is this true?!

That goes against polling and common sense...it's a little overboard but it's a very, very persuasive message.

Are Republicans trying to rip off Obama '08 now?

I saw an old Asian lady waving a sign that said "We Can Change It, Romney-Ryan". That's just plain sad.
