Like with the Republican convention, the Democratic one was filled with lots of enthusiasm, attacks to the other side, and promises.
However, the convention took more of a progressive tone. The convention was pretty much about Abortion. Most speakers spoke of a "woman's right," "woman's choice, "woman's bodily autonomy" and so forth. One of the most disturbing parts was when God and Jerusalem were booed by delegates.

He claimed Obama inherited a big mess that no one - not even him - could fix in 4 years. He mocked Republicans, spoke about his own success as president and claimed Romney and Republicans are wrong about the economy and how to fix it.
So-called "Gay marriage" was also spoken about as well as other social issues.
Dissident nun Simone Campbell of the "nuns on the bus" campaign called the GOP's economic plan, "immoral" and voiced support to "Obamacare." Campbell is under the Vatican's radar for attempting to make religious life into a social service institution that disregards Church teaching.



Obama also spoke about his supposed accomplishments in office and presented Romney and the Republicans as the backward party looking to go back into the past.
Cardinal Dolan then said the final prayer. CNN and MSNBC did not show this, only Fox. Dolan's prayer was the counter argument to the convention's rhetoric. In it, he prayed for the unborn and religious freedom. He mentioned "nature's God" and that America is "under God."
The convention was interesting to watch but a scary reminder that the Democratic party is becoming a party that advocates for immorality, death and perversion. The booing of God is a strong message that nothing moral will come from this party if it continues down this path.
