The Republican National Convention (RNC)

I've been watching some of this, last night Ann Romney gave a good speech, and tonight Paul Ryan accepted the Republican vice-presidential nomination and gave what I thought was a good speech. Thurday night Romney will accept the Republican presidential nomination and give his speech, I'll try watching some of it.
I really see Romney & Ryan as being America's last hope for prosperity, turning the economy around and saving medicare. If Obama and Hillary get back in, this country is headed straight into the toilet.

Thoughts?

I only listened to Rand Paul. I thought it was an average speech. I may go find Christie's speech later. I think both of the main party candidate are ultimately the same and ruinous for us. Maybe Romney would get to pick a good Supreme Court nominee but that is about all I'd hold my breath for if he wins.

Surely you mean Obama & BIDEN not Hillary ;)


I've not listened to any of the speeches, but I've heard the coverage especialy on MSNBC it is hilarious how biased that station is (amongst others). What did you guys think of the Yahoo/ABC Producer that just ot fired for a hot mic catching him say "They're hapy to have a party while black people drown"?

Between the mainstream media's attacks on anyone conservative & ESPN's attack on contact sports & football specifically I just don't care to watch much tv.

I couldn't help laughing when I read yesterday's MSN.com's characterization of John McCain as Romney's attack dog.

"Sic him, John...... sic him!!!!"
"Wait!! Put your teeth in, first!"

John McCain is an American hero & a decent person. In the days of George W. Bush's time as President, McCain was the Democrats A#1 favorite Republican because he was willing to make deals and be friendly with Democrats but then he had the audacity to run for President against "The Chosen One" and everything changed.

Lighten up, Lyle! It was still funny. And McCain might be an "American hero", but he's still viewed (and rightfully so) as a warmonger.... and his speech at the RNC did nothing to dispel that.

What's funny is how the press squeal with contempt when they are rightfully called out as biased.

lyle loves war and preemptıve attacks and ınvasıons by the US based on transparent lıes such as fıghtıng agaınst communısm or proactıve wars such as lookıng for those weapons of mass destructıon.
lyle am I rıght? ıs there any US mılıtary actıon you have ever dısagreed wıth?

I've never heard McCain referred to as or suggested to be a warmonger....ever

Folks, that was a beautiful dodge to the question.
Yes... Jack... did you see the flawless technique? Here it is again in slow-motion.
BEAU-TI-FUL. Watch as the question is asked... then quickly deflected with a clever one-liner.
Stuff of legends, Jack. Folks... you don't see many better than this.

Tito,

I'm not sure an article discussing Ed Schultz calling him a warmonger and then later being rebuked by an Obama spokesperson in 2008 really qualifies as a monolithic view that McCain is a warmonger. Even when I did a google search for McCain and Warmonger the only major news outlet I found was a NY times article (blog on NY times) discussing Ed Schultz saying warmonger.

McCain Called a 'Warmonger' at Obama Appearance - NYTimes.com

Saying he is widely viewed as a warmonger is akin to saying the President is widely viewed as a communist. Sure there is a vocal minority that spouts this line but most people dont toe the line.

Not sure what the second link has to do with the topic at all.

The best line from the GOP conference so far belongs to Senator Lindsay Graham :

“The demographics race we’re losing badly,” said Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.). “We’re not generating enough angry white guys to stay in business for the long term.”
On Tuesday, convention organizers ejected two attendees after they reportedly threw peanuts at a black CNN camerawoman and told her, “This is how we feed animals.” Organizers called the conduct “inexcusable and unacceptable.”


As Republican convention emphasizes diversity, racial incidents intrude - The Washington Post




As far as whether the GOP can turn the economy round, Romney is planning a return to the exact-same Bush-era policies which caused the current economic disaster. And he's planning to turn Medicare into a voucher system where the voucher pays less and less of the cost of retirees' healthcare. He's saving the village by destroying it.

Surprise surprise, KirklandLaing disagrees with Republicans, well I for one am fucking shocked about that :rolleyes: .


The people throwing peanuts were correctly thrown out of the event. Lindsay Graham is a weenie and is lucky he is still in office. What political stance can the Republicans take that would land them more minorities? If Herman Cain ran would he get more support from the African-American Community? NO, because the African-American community is tied to the Democrats irrationally so. People often wonder "Well why do the poor white people vote for the Republicans who cut taxes for the wealthy bosses that laid those people off?" and I wonder "Why do blacks vote for Democrats that continually uses them as pawns, keeps them poor, and dependent on the government?"....also I'm noticing you left out how Mia Love's wikipedia page was hacked and she was called a "House Nigger" amongst other very hurtful, hateful things....is that a Republican calling her that or more likely a Democrat Kirkland? What of former Democrat Senator Robert Byrd? It was highly unlikely he was a racist right? He was just in the KKK due to polictics, that's what President Bill Clinton said, but then again DEMOCRAT Bill Clinton also raped a black woman, and he also said "A few years ago this guy (Barack Obama) would be getting us (Clinton and Ted Kennedy) coffee" but the media doesn't much care for that story do they Kirkland???

Also the FIRST Female Latina Governor in United States history (Republican) talks and what is shown on ABC??? A dickweed Pro-ILLEGAL Immigration anchor from Univision talking about how Republicans should accept the DREAM Act and how they need 33% of the Latino vote and not the 31% John McCain got. Marco Rubio will speak tonight, and I'm certain he'll get no credit for being Cubano just as Governor Nikki Haley got 0 credit for being Native American......oh but Elizabeth Warren is Native American, you know, high cheekbones and all :vd:

I do love how easily the word "racist" is bandied about by these self important water carriers for Obama
Chris Matthews and MSNBC Now Claim the Word 'Chicago' Is Racist | NewsBusters.org


So I would suggest you take your accusations of racism by the Republican Party and fuck right off with them because the Democrats are up to their necks in a history of evil racist deeds

I actually excluded some of the more radical and biased articles I found, calling McCain a warmonger. There's others, including the one I posted, that are a lot less biased. You stated you were unaware of anyone referring to McCain as a warmonger. I posted links where he's referred to as a warmonger.

The topic here is the Republican National Convention. The second link I posted, was to show how McCain has conveniently and laughably flip-flopped on his views and support of Mitt Romney. Totally within the subject, IMO.

Radical articles calling McCain a "warmonger"...amazing :rolleyes: I' soooo impresed with the brilliance of Ed Shultz :shakehead: . Shultz, Matthews, the entire MSNBC network is full of morons and partisan hacks. Their news "product" is laughable


Also that's great that you laugh about McCain's "flip flopping" and fail to mention the flip flops you get from ooohhh I don't know OBAMA himself....who was anti-healthcare mandate but now he's PRO mandate.

Come on Tito, every convention for both parties is big jerk off session after months of primary back stabbing. Except my boy Ron Paul!!

How cool would it have been if Rand Paul had got up last night and said "You know what....fuck Mitt Romney"?

I disagree, my main concern is getting the economy back up and running, job creation and working down the national debt. Obama had a chance do try and do this the past four years, and hasn't done shit, why should we believe he will in another 4 years. For me the choice is easy, with Romney and Ryan there's leadership and hope, with Obama we're headed for a huge economic disaster/recession, and a welfare state.
Everyone i'm talking to here in Texas wants Obama out, I think he'll be a 1 term president.

Romney is set to speak in a little while, I believe Clint Eastwood is going to say something as well, I think it's cool that Eastwood supports Romney.

I said Hillary because her and Bill Clinton are about the only Dems who have any real power to help sway the election in Obama's favor. Biden is just a liability to Obama, as well as just being the "token white male" on the ticket, he's fucking worthless.

I believe Romney will be the next President, the RNC was a rousing success, and I can't see Obama being able to garner as many votes as he did in '08. Many of the people who voted for him are seeing Obama for what he is, a shyster lawyer who found a niche in politics and played the system to get where he is. I like what Romney said about Obama, 'how's he going to create jobs and get the economy going when he's never ran a business'?

Obama isn't qualified to manage a McDonald's, much less be President of the U.S..

Not sure why but I have been glued to the fking thing. I'm left of centre but I found myself warming up to Mitt. They struck out with Clint though.

Did not realise Clint Eastwood was a republican.

Clint was just being Clint, he's not a politician, I thought he was entertaining.

I like Mitt's successful business credentials, something Obama totally lacks along with leadership qualities.

Yup, Eastwood is a conservative, always has been. Other actors like Robert De Niro, and George Clooney are, Dems/liberals and Obama supporters. I'm pretty sure Clooney is a fag.

You do not have to be a fag to support Obama. Heston was a republican.

True, but fags/lesbos-feminists are where a big block of Obama's supporters come from, just saying Clooney acts like a fag, and i'm pretty sure he is one. In re: Heston, he was not only a republican but president or spokesman for the NRA (National rifle association) for quite a while.

I associate Republicans with guns, anti-abortion, less central government administration and very religious.

Now for the DNC....near my home town....near enough that I worry about riots, you know how the dirty liberals like to party, like Chicago in 1968.

The religious part is true, "Christian Conservatives" make up the majority of those who generally vote Republican. I suspect however that most U.S. politicians aren't nearly as "religious" as they claim to be, the thing is, if a politician doesn't belong to a church or claim a belief in Christianity/God, they couldn't get elected to dogcatcher here in the U.S.. I do think Romney is being genuine about his Mormon beliefs, either that or he's the greatest actor who ever lived.
America is really divided right now, not just politically and by demographics, but there's also huge social and ideological differences.

The DNC starts Tuesday Sept 4th and goes through to the 6th in Charlotte, NC. I have no plan to watch any of it, i'm sure that most of it will be a divisive, hate filled slam against Romney and the Republicans.
Every queer/liberal actor and airheaded actress in hollywood along with Oprah, Sharpton, Jackson et al will be showing up to shower their clown with adoration, it will be enough to gag a maggot.

I do plan on watching the Presidential debates beginning in Oct., that should be good theater, and could decide who gets elected.

Did a little editing..... hope you don't mind. ;)

And maybe I'll join you. I doubt you can drink two tanker-fulls of alcohol.

Personal accountability is lost characteristic these days. What I love about this election is Obama isn't running on his record or what he is going to do in a second term but rather scare tactics about a return to Bush policies (as if we ever left them) and Romney isn't running on his record or what he would do in specifics but rather scare tactics about Obama policies.

Yeah but unlike Obama, Romney/Ryan have however outlined a pretty good plan to create jobs and jumpstart the economy. Obama seems to be saying that his plan is just more of the same shit that's already failed.

....anyone else find it the slightest bit odd that the Democrats have chosen NOW to tell people about Barry's life? I mean where the fuck was this 4 years ago? When Clinton was President old girlfriends (or mistresses showed up in bunches), his wife's legal career was questioned, friends were questioned, shady deals were brought into the light. When W was in office the media dug deep into W's past asking questions about his service in the National Guard, his involvement in Skull & Bones, his grades at Yale, his DWI. With Obama we get Rev. Wright "Don't ask about that", Bill Ayers "He's just a neighbor-like acquaintence", no grades, no students from the classes he taught, no exgirlfriends, no former professors, no nothing......which tells me either Barry has something to hide or the dude is a total dick and no one likes him.
