When Roger West first launched the progressive political blog "News From The Other Side" in May 2010, he could hardly have predicted the impact that his venture would have on the media and political debate. As the New Media emerged as a counterbalance to established media sources, Roger wrote his copious blogs about national politics, the tea party movement, mid-term elections, and the failings of the radical right to the vanguard of the New Media movement. Roger West's efforts as a leading blogger have tremendous reach. NFTOS has led the effort to bring accountability to mainstream media sources such as FOX NEWS, Breitbart's "Big Journalism. Roger's breadth of experience, engaging style, and cultivation of loyal readership - over 92 million visitors - give him unique insight into the past, present, and future of the New Media and political rhetoric that exists in our society today.

I'VE SEEN ROMNEY & BAIN

The Democratic National Convention last week hosted several music stars to include the Foo Fighters, Mary J. Blige and James Taylor.

James Taylor was probably not expecting his performance to receive too much buzz around the internet (certainly not as much as Eastwooding did from the GOP Convention the week before). However, Jimmy Fallon chose him as the topic of his newest music parody, taking the lyrics to his classic “Fire and Rain” and giving them an election spin – ending up with “Romney and Bain”.




The song was a clear endorsement of the Obama campaign with the refrain: “So I’ll prob’ly vote Obama again”.

DETAILS, POLICY, AND GOD


Faux News, Fixed News, Fox Noise does "Gods Work" because democrats fail to mention the almighty in their platform at DNC.

Last night, Jon Stewart carefully showed how Fixed News covered the RNC versus the DNC, and how the criticisms and praises were completely switched.

Stewart noticed some very glaring discrepancies in how the network covered the DNC and RNC, bashing the network for praising Republicans for the very things that they were strongly criticizing the Democrats for this week, from the policy in the speeches to the celebrities speaking at the conventions.

Stewart also brought up Fox News bashing the inclusion of celebrities at the DNC while expressing their profound love of Clint Eastwood last week. Stewart noticed that not only can Fox News not seem to recall anything that happened during the Bush presidency, but has “amnesia” that is making it forget what happened only a week ago. Eric Bolling was touched by Ann Romney‘s story, but was completely deprecating of Michelle Obama‘s. Stewart said, “Between the weekend of Tampa and Charlotte, Eric Bolling’s heart shrank three sizes.”

Last week, Brit Hume was enthused by how specific Paul Ryan got when talking about policy, but found Bill Clinton‘s detailed speech to be “wonky” and concerned with fitting in so many details. Chris Wallace at the DNC? The Democrats have “no specific plans about this economy.” But at the RNC, Wallace decided to not share what he liked and disliked about the speech because he didn’t want to take away from the celebrating.

And as for Wallace’s comment that people should just “shut up and watch,” Stewart noticed that would make a perfect slogan for Faux News.

A LOOK AT WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY REALLY STANDS FOR




If you happened to have watched both conventions these last two weeks [DNC/RNC], then you saw two completely different values and beliefs, one all white, and one with the ensemble that aped the rainbow. You saw one selfish party, and one party whom has all  Americans best interest in mind. You the DNC stand by women, minorities, the poor, the middle class, the LGBT, the old, the young. The RNC stood by an empty chair.

I was proud to see the Democratic party represented so well! Partisanship aside, I saw one convention well thought out and planned perfectly, and one discombobulated, with more lies, deceit - more egotistical self righteous pasty white men then I care to see at one event. 

The democrats were disciplined with their message and in one nigh Barack Obama was mentioned over 250 times, Mitt Romney was mentioned 232 times the entire convention over at the RNC.

We saw at the convention what we already knew, that the GOP his pissed off every form of human life in the United States.

President Barack Obama's speech last night at the Democratic National Convention served as the final, rousing call to action to Americans who, as the president said, "face the clearest choice of any time in a generation."

In have never been more proud to be a Democrat than today! NFTOS has your back POTUS/FLOTUS, and I love it when I wake up and Barack Obama is President!

Below are 8 powerful speeches during the convention. Watch them all as they all bring insight to the only party on the planet dedicated to all humans -  not just the pasty white GOPers.


DEVAL PATRICK




JOHN KERRY




JENNIFER GRANHOLM




SANDRA FLUKE



CECILE RICHARDS




ELIZABETH WARREN




JOHN LEWIS




BRIAN SCHWEITZER



Things to take away from the DNC convention:

Get out and vote
Ann Coulter's is so mad at the DNC convention that her Adams apple is quivering
Democrats care about all humans
We all move forward as one
Republicans are liars and deceivers
There is HOPE for a better USA under POTUS


UPDATE: Gallup, as usual, posted its latest poll findings at 1 pm--and found a big bounce for Obama from this year's convention, adding to yesterday's indication. They show a very strong one-day 3% hike in his approval rating to 52%--his highest mark in many months. This means that he gained a whopping 7% in just the past three days.

Also, for the first time in more than a week, the numbers on his contest with Romney moved.

It had been a 47% to 46% lead for him (with no change at all from a week ago during and after the RNC)--but now he has opened lead to 3%, at 48%-45%. And that's in a 7-day poll average with only the first couple days of the DNC factored in, so it should go up a bit more over the next few days. (Note: Gallup site erratic, probably due to heavy traffic right now.)

Here's an item on the results the past two days. By the way, Gallup has often lagged behind other polls showing leads for Romney, so a Democratic bias seems very doubtful.

BUBBA RIPS TEA BAGGERS A NEW POSTERIOR

Bill "Bubba" Clinton hands GOP their ass!


Just the facts please!

Bill Clinton singlehandedly dismantled the Romney-Ryan campaign narrative that President Obama is trying to put an end to Medicare at the Democratic Convention Wednesday night, pointing out that it is in fact the Romney-Ryan proposal for Medicare that would permanently change the program to a depreciating voucher system. “It takes some brass,” Clinton said, “to attack a guy for doing what you did”:
First, Both Governor Romney and Congressman Ryan attacked the President for allegedly robbing Medicare of $716 billion. But it is not true.........

So, President Obama and the Democrats did not weaken Medicare. They strengthened Medicare. When Congressman Ryan looked into that TV camera and attacked President Obama’s Medicare savings as “the biggest, coldest power play,” I did not know whether to laugh or cry. Key cuts that $716 billion is exactly to the dollar the same amount of Medicare savings that he had in his own budget. It takes some brass to attack a guy for doing what you did.

Below is the full forty nine minute speech and below this video is a shortened audio version of snippets from the speech





THE BEST OF BUBBA




Let's face it readers critical thinking is not a teapublican's strong suit. I found that after watching the speech that reason and a firmer grasp on reality is far more entertaining than an empty chair! Can we say that the "Big Dawg" chewed on some tea bagger bones last night. Crunch!

Can anyone remember what Bush said about Romney in his speech in Tampa last week at the RNC? Oh that is right, Bush wasn't invited to the American Taliban convention.

Bill "Bubba" Clinton, The bottom line: One of our greatest presidents who actually created a budget surplus for America! For his affair with Monica Lewinski and only because it took place on government property he should have been censored or reprimanded but not crucified. When the tea billies seized the opportunity to attempt to destroy his political career, America lost a golden chance to set this country right and keep it on a truly democratic course. As a past president he has continued to clearly articulate the real “American Dream” and is an incredible spokesman for that vision. He may be even more effective as a crucified president than if he had continued in office. A true American Hero!

The American Taliban, consider yourselves on notice, and consider yourself PWNED by Bubba!
