MSNBC
This week, visitors to the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte will have the opportunity to snag Off The Cliff campaign buttons. DNC attendees have been grabbing them by the handfuls at MSNBC's Experience Lounge.
Look familiar? They should — they were designed by some of our loyal viewers: Lance Mar, Marco Rocha and Cody White.
Thanks so much for all your submissions. After pouring through hundreds of tweets, Facebook messages and emails, it's very clear we have many artists on hand.
In case you missed the Off The Cliff button contest, there's still time. You can create your own convention button on MSNBC’s Facebook page. We'll display it online and on-site at the DNC in Charlotte.

Let me get this straight. MSNBC is promoting the whacked out Senate liberals campaign to adovcate driving our nation off the fiscal cliff ahead of us of the breaching of the debt ceiling, the $1.2 Trillion sequestration of funds in the $3.67 Trillion expected spending level of this years Discretionary Defense and Social Agencies planned (but not budgetted), and their refusal to extend the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts even as the economy, by all economic indicators, is sliding lower in activity, and the unemployment in the nation remains over 8%, and rising again? Besides, the non partisan CBO just warned that if this President and this Congress do not come to a negotiated settlement on those issues, going over the fiscal cliff will plunge us back into recession?
And Democrat Delegates are scrambling to get these promotion buttons for that campaign? Where is the rational leadership? And this is the President and those are the Senatorial and Congressional candidates we want to see get reelected?
If you are not part of the solution, you are the problem!
Rational leadership left the day republicans decided they couldn't play in the same sandbox as everyone else and would take their ball and go home. When the obstuctionist Republicans decided their only goal was to make Obama a one term President and not play nice on the playground the whole Congress began to look like a bunch of children.
Very disappointed in the out landish words that seem to be coming from the left, if your word cant be trusted than you have lost the whole epitomy of your self, since when did we become a country of hate and bitterness towards differing opinions? We are becoming a people of no class! and full of lies to meet our agenda...but the fact is...it is still a lie forever spoken, forever following the lying lips...ACTIONS DO SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!
Gee Keith, were you so-o-o-o outraged about the possibility of going off the debt ceiling cliff when the Republicans abandoned those discussions last year because of the threat of raising taxes on the wealthy?
Somehow, I think not...bet you were rather quiet on that front.
Absolutely...
Well, would you just look at this...actual cited source links. Do they provide a clue for something you should do, Willard? You should try it sometime...it could only improve your credibility.

Why EWO, I see you're linking Michele Bachmann, and shoot you obviously weren't paying attention to her absence at the RNC. You dissembling obfuscater you! George Soros should expect more from the money he's paying you...
I mean that is proof, proof I tell you(!) that the that the Republican party is not composed of fringe sorts and wingnuts who are forced to tell lies... They've changed, and you really need to get with it!
You're been unpatriotic and mean-spirited to even suggest this awful stuff...
Okay, okay, I'm having my first cup of coffee... I'll see if I can get some better material as soon as the cobwebs clear...
So many good lines from the Democrats last night, I'm a little envious and intimidated...
It's a lead pipe cinch that FAUX is going to run a headline, "Castor Speaks at DNC!"
Better?
Whew!!! For a moment Cabbie, I had a nightmare that I was having a "Keith Longey" moment...that could sure ruin your day (week, month, etc.).
But that insurance shower I felt the overwhelming need for after that was r-e-a-l-l-y good!
Listening to Democrats say they are "Christian","pray" to god, and then the DNC has TAKEN GOD OUT OF THEIR PLATFORM.. Pleases Democrats, explain that hypocrisy. No God in the platform, but countless references to a "god" in speeches. TYPICAL DAILY DEMOCRAT HYPOCRISY
"Off the cliff" is EXACTLY what needs to be done. Once all the Bush tax cuts expire, let's see the GOP defend not re-instituting them since now they would be voting for a tax cut. This also allows the cut for those over $250K (or whatever number is finally decided) to not be reinstated. Or is the GOP so stupid, reckless and out-of-touch that they would attempt to deny the cut to everyone else? I'd love to see them try.
The reason the Dems are moving in to liberal politicians friendly Time-Warner Conference Center Thursday night rather than liberal politicians unfriendly Bank of America Stadium is neither because of threatening rain (the local meteorolgists insist that Thursday promises to be the clearest most pleasant weather of the week). And it is not because of the fear that it will look bad seeing all those empty stadium seats for Barrack's big moment, as they were prepared to bus in spectators from surrounding states in this low enthusiasm state for Obama's relection (as Romney leads by 5 points in North Carolina).
The real reason is that the Dems feel that after having dropped any reference to GOD in their platform, and have barred speakers from mentioning God, The Lord, our Creator, etc. in their convention (have to appeal to the athieists, you know...in a tight election every vote counts), that The Almightly just might send down a lightening bolt of two in that open stadium, just to see this secular President dance a bit...nothing harmful of course! LOL!
Got proof, soprano-boy?
Sounds like you're just venting that old spleen of yours...again.
Bob Woodward will be taking to the talk shows this week promoting his new tell all book, which reveals the background of the Obama play for more revenue and less social spending cuts last year that blew up a near done Deal with Speaker of the House John Boehner. Puts the blame squarely on Obama, the amateur President, and his uncordinated and clueless White House. Sorry lefties, but this is no right winger, this is the guy from the Washinton Post that along with Carl Bernstein sunk the presidency of Richard Nixon. But he pulls no punches, and this is strangely timed, coming just 2 months before the re-election bid of Barrack Obama, the villian of the piece of investigation.
