On Meet the Press, Romney said that Bill Clinton helped "elevate" the Democratic Convention. Did he happen to watch the speech? Because it was a point-by-point evisceration of everything he stands for.

Isn't it time for one of Mitt Romney's advisers to inform him that Bill Clinton is for the other guy? Can anybody name a single issue that Obama and Clinton disagree on, or that Clinton and Romney agree on? Doesn't it seem a little odd for Romney to be embracing this guy that's going out there on the campaign trail, punching him in the face?

Chump Change

By Bill Maher

There's nothing wrong with change, but there’s also nothing inherently right with change -- if the "change" you're being offered is "Rich people stop paying taxes and let’s see what happens."

If I had been running the Democratic Convention, I would have barely mentioned Obama at all -- you know, like the Republicans did with Romney -- and I would've put up a 100-by-100 foot poster of Mitt Romney and George Bush and never take it down.

You know the Republican Party's "debt clock"?  I would put up this number: 0.82%.

That's Mitt Romney’s tax rate if Paul Ryan’s latest budget became law. 0.82%. As in "less than 1%."
Maybe you don't think that's a problem. An effectively zero percent tax rate on investment, speculation and inherited wealth. But I'll bet most people do think it's a problem, and that's an argument Democrats can win.
