Official 8/30 RNC Convention Discussion Thread

[Bruno]

Since I didn't see one yet :)

[Aratus]

newt + wife
are now at
the podium

[LibertyEagle]

This whole thing (RNC) is sickening on so very many levels.

[LibertyEagle]

Now, they're sucking up to hispanics.

[Aratus]

a video is playing now

[Aratus]

mitt's son is on now

[Philhelm]

Ugh, they're getting a bunch of old folks to talk about how great Romney is as a person.

Great Jefferson, I pray to you and ask that Mitt Romney expires from this world from a heart attack, and that all Usurpers meet the same end, until your Constitional disciple, Doctor Ron Paul, becomes the Republican candidate for President over these fifty states. In Your Name, Amen.

[Bruno]

Um..."Taking to to the street"?

[jct74]

Rubio up now, then Romney

[playpianoking]

Rubio started by saying that Cuba should one day be free, yet Romney doesn't want to open trade with them...

[wgadget]

LOVE YOUR VIDEO, Piano. :)

[donnay]

Lots of mixed messages on that stage. Very disjointed, IMHO.

[The Gold Standard]

Rubio started by saying that Cuba should one day be free, yet Romney doesn't want to open trade with them...

Rubio wants to free them the American way. By bombing the fucking piss out of them.

[AuH20]

I wonder who wrote this speech for Rubio. Only the best I assume.

[The Gold Standard]

I guess it is good someone is watching this in case our delegates get brave and raise some hell. Then I can flip over to it.

[playpianoking]

LOVE YOUR VIDEO, Piano. :) Thank you :D

[AuH20]

Rubio is being pushed hard for 2016. Gets a primetime speaking slot, a top notch speech to recite, etc.

[playpianoking]

I guess it is good someone is watching this in case our delegates get brave and raise some hell. Then I can flip over to it. What are the delegates doing now, just sitting in the nosebleeds?

[Anti Federalist]

So, when is Mutt speaking?

[newbitech]

this thread needs asterisks in the head line to consolidate the discussion.

[wgadget]

Doesn't EXCEPTIONAL have a lot of different meanings?

[donnay]

So, when is Mutt speaking?


http://i.imgur.com/4Ih8k.jpg

After Cubio.

[wgadget]

After the Cuban Wonder.

[The Gold Standard]

What are the delegates doing now, just sitting in the nosebleeds?

Have no idea. I haven't watched a single minute of the convention live, and only a couple of clips of it in total.

[Anti Federalist]

this thread needs asterisks in the head line to consolidate the discussion.

I thought that denoted the thread's "Official" status.

[AuH20]

The GOP's Barack Obama, getting his springboard from a rousing convention speech.

[1stAmendguy]

I hope we make a ruckus when Mitt steps up to the podium.

[Bruno]

Still time for a primetime walkout! :D

[newbitech]

listen to people cheer spanish speaking, same people who chant USA?

[Anti Federalist]

After Cubio.

Is our friend on the convention floor?

[donnay]

"Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do."

[1stAmendguy]

listen to people cheer spanish speaking, same people who chant USA?
Lol.

[July]

How many times is Rubio going to tell the crowd they are special?

[Anti Federalist]

Still time for a primetime walkout! :D

That's why I'm here.

[The Gold Standard]

That's why I'm here.

Yep.

[Lovecraftian4Paul]

Sure hope to see something happen on the floor when Willard steps out. It's the least our delegates can do to represent our combined discontent.

[donnay]

Is our friend on the convention floor?

I haven't heard from her this evening. I heard from her earlier. She was telling me she was handing out Citizens Rule Books to DHS and TSA. :D

[AuH20]

Rubio is the anti-Christ. Far more dangerous than anyone in the entire arena. Mitt ain't got nothing on Marco.

[newbitech]

i swear that Mitt chant reminds me of the birds from finding nemo

[sailingaway]

That's why I'm here.

some of ours are wearing armbands, one is wearing duct tape: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?388226-Silent-protest-from-Paul-supporter

[newbitech]

Rubio, we chose more government instead of more freedom. truth. lmao..

[1stAmendguy]

Walkout, walkout, walkout.

[orenbus]

Watching the convention on justin tv and this is what the broadcaster said while I was watching Clint Eastwood.

I was floored.

http://i.imgur.com/4w1hv.jpg

When I asked for validation of what I just read he said:


I know, not eveyrone will agree.

So I say your the first Ron Paul supporter I've heard that's said that.

and he says:


but, that's my lesser of two choice.

and I say what made you decide to support Romney was it Rand Paul speech?

He says:


Obama!

» You didn't build that, NDAA, executive orders etc....unemployment...

» on and on.

[wgadget]

Did he just say "WE CHOSE OUR GOVERNMENT TO CHANGE US"?

[FrancisMarion]

Rubio, we chose more government instead of more freedom. truth. lmao..

doh, so apropo

[KramerDSP]

Romney is the fakest person I have ever seen in my life.

[LibertyEagle]

BARF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The cheater-in-chief arrives on cue after requiring 3 days of an infomercial attempting to make him more appealing.

He calls out to delegates? :mad: Screw you, Mittens.

[newbitech]

see Mitt swing his face close up to the camera as he came up on stage? watching cspan coverage

[amabala]

The crowd is dead. LOL!!!

[LibertyEagle]

I don't place any trust in your sorry ass, Willard!

[fr33]

why am I doing this to myself (watching)

[fr33]

Is anybody else drinking a bit too much right about now?

[orenbus]

Did I hear someone in the crowd say no no no don't touch me!

[libertyfanatic]

Mitt Romney is so personable! We should all support him! (sarcasm)

[playpianoking]

Romney got some orange powder applied to his face. He reads the teleprompter worse than others - it's so obvious that he's reading from it. Sometimes others can read from it and you can't tell.

[ClydeCoulter]

Is anybody else drinking a bit too much right about now?

Not yet, but I'm working on it :D

[libertyfanatic]

Did I hear someone in the crowd say no no no don't touch me!
I heard that too

[jcarcinogen]

He looks evil in HD.

[phill4paul]

http://www.millsworks.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/writing_process.gif

[orenbus]

I think I threw up a little in my mouth.

[playpianoking]

I predict Republicans lose by 6 points in November.

[KramerDSP]

Mitt Romney says he has a better ipod play list than Paul Ryan. That jokester, Mitt....

Could you even imagine Ron Paul saying something that remotely fake about his VP?

[wgadget]

Rubio, we chose more government instead of more freedom. truth. lmao..

Yeah, I definitely would like to see the transcript on that one.

MORE GOVERNMENT??? What planet is he living on?

[Anti Federalist]

WALK OUT DAMN IT!

[JSaindon]

I'm betting he doesn't touch on anything he would accomplish while in office. What a douche.

[phill4paul]

Not yet, but I'm working on it :D

No. Gotta work early. Questioning why I am even watching at this point. I had expected some kind of civil disobedient dissent to the establishment.

[ClydeCoulter]

Romney: "And, thank you for the screw, all you RP delegates, it's what we Amercians deserve". "You deserved it because you worked harder than ever before, (while we got richer than hell), and you'll get a 2nd job".

[Lucille]

So Romney's bombing then? Awesome.


Not to put you on the spot, Mitt, but tonight's your big make-or-break moment (http://reason.com/24-7/2012/08/30/mitt-on-the-spot-with-tonights-rnc-appea).

[wgadget]

Shouldn't someone tell Mitt that his VP voted for TARP?

[devil21]

I heard that too

I think that was the security guy standing there. Mitt is so used to shaking the hand of whoever he sees that he grabbed the security guy's hand and shook it. The guy was obviously working.

[KramerDSP]

Someone just got escorted out!

[July]

Sounds like there are some USA chants to drown something out.

[devil21]

Im hearing END THE FED END THE FED???

[acptulsa]

What Americans expected, voted for and deserved was peace. And peace is what will get us the prosperity that he's blathering on about but not proposing a plan to achieve.

[wgadget]

Their CHANTING IS NOT IN SYNC.

[KramerDSP]

Somethings happening, that's for sure.

[donnay]

"Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall."

[mport1]

Was that Code Pink protesting? Awesome that some protesters got in there. I'm hoping Ron Paul people start chanting next.

[Lucille]

Did I hear someone in the crowd say no no no don't touch me!

Probably.

Matt Welch@mleewelchWoman and man being man-handled out of the room by security. Wonder who gave them their passes?

[AuH20]

I predict Republicans lose by 6 points in November.

It will be closer than that. The democratic party is very dejected and their youth numbers are down roughly 20 percent. Romney is also beating him by 15 percent in the indy demographic. But ultimately, Obama will find a way. He's not going to lose key union states like Pennsylvania or Ohio.

[ClydeCoulter]

RP Delegates, pull you pants down and show your ass. On 2nd thought, don't do it.

[KramerDSP]

Paul Ryan's face looks like "F**k, we've already lost".

[wgadget]

Mitt has some strong turdblossom vibes going on.

[wgadget]

Is it me or does Ann look perturbed about something?

[sailingaway]

RP Delegates, pull you pants down and show your ass. On 2nd thought, don't do it.

One must rise above temptation.

[KramerDSP]

The USA chant is so bizarre for some reason. I mean, you know the DNC is going to say "SEE! They think OBama is from Kenya!".

[Natural Citizen]

Fly me to the moon....

[ClydeCoulter]

Yea, Romney, we can get 2 jobs, put our wives to work, and get the kids to work during school vacation, cause we are Americans. You and your kind leave us not choice. Besides, what will YOUR CHILDREN STEAL from OUR CHILDREN if we don't REBUILD IT.

[devil21]

Figures that the Romney ancestors ran away from the Revolution, instead of participated.

[KramerDSP]

Is it me or does Ann look perturbed about something?

Agree. Something is happening that we are not seeing (or hearing). It seems like the crowd finally came alive after the protesters were escorted out and not a second before then.

[jcarcinogen]

MI delegation still mic'ed, no way would their be so many cheers for Detroit.

[JVParkour]

Wow, he is a horrible speaker. Rubio sounded ten times better...ugh.

[green73]

The USA chant is so bizarre for some reason. I mean, you know the DNC is going to say "SEE! They think OBama is from Kenya!".

I think they're chanting it to drown out the Paulians, not sure. wgadget says they were chanting end the fed. Security was dragging people out.

[devil21]

This entire convention has been about kissing women voter's asses. It's emotional crap top to bottom, not a policy point to be found. It's embarrassing.

[Tyler_Durden]

I think they're chanting it to drown out the Paulians, not sure. wgadget says they were chanting end the fed. Security was dragging people out.

They have to be drowning out protest chants. There was too much garbled yelling and USA! USA! is what they have been using to drown out the protest chant.

They should just yell bomb Iran! Bomb Iran! :rolleyes:

[PursuePeace]

Nice fake signs.:rolleyes:
"You didn't build paint that"

[acptulsa]

He's calling AMC Rambler a great car company, and says he left Michigan and stayed out of the car business because he didn't want to be accused of being handed a career by his dad. But George quit Rambler and ran for governor in '61 or '62 when Willard was what? Twelve? And who in their right mind would believe that the son of a Michigan governor would have no advantage even in another state?

[wgadget]

GAWD, his voice is so treacly sickening.

Bleh.

HOW FAKE can you get?

[economics102]

Mitt Romney's speaking capability reminds me of actors from the pre-Marlon Brando era. Especially the way he is intentionally trying to add laughter to his voice at specific moments. That's when he sounds the most fake. If I were coaching him I would just say "don't pretend to laugh, it's beyond the range of your acting ability."

[wgadget]

On MSNBC, they're wondering if the crowd will ever graduate from USA!USA! to ROMNEY! ROMNEY!

LOL

They're too stupid for that, I'm sure.

[ClydeCoulter]

His manner of speach reminds me of Clinton.

[Tyler_Durden]

What is beside the American flag on the pin on his jacket? I can never tell.

Israeli flag?

Kidding, but seriously, what is it?

[acptulsa]

He's looking at Republican delegates and he's talking about how good they felt when they voted for Barack Obama? No wonder they were looking at him like he just stepped off of a UFO.

Yes, jobs to Barack were about government. And jobs to you and Bane Capital were about layoffs.

[minusbear]

well that walk out didnt work

[wgadget]

OMG...His voice is like someone who just woke up and needs a drink of water.

[AuH20]

I don't want Mitt to win, but I do hope he kicks in Obama's teeth during the debates. Obama is treated like a freaking endangered species in this country. He needs to be humbled.

[ClydeCoulter]

What is beside the American flag on the pin on his jacket? I can never tell.

Israeli flag?

Kidding, but seriously, what is it?

Looks like a dot, Japanese flag?

[devil21]

Obama is going to slaughter him in debates if this speech is any indicator. No fire, fake expressions, way too rehearsed, jokes are flat, etc.

[phill4paul]

Eyes droopy. Nodding. Nodding. Is something worthy of attention going to happen or should I just go to bed?

[AuH20]

Obama is going to slaughter him in debates if this speech is any indicator. No fire, fake expressions, way too rehearsed, jokes are flat, etc.

No. Obama is a worse actor who relies on feel-good platitudes and outright fabrications. Romney can hang with that fraud. Obama isn't anything special. He is protected by the MSM and the political class.

[ShaneEnochs]

I don't want Mitt to win, but I do hope he kicks in Obama's teeth during the debates. Obama is treated like a freaking endangered species in this country. He needs to be humbled.

[economics102]

On MSNBC, they're wondering if the crowd will ever graduate from USA!USA! to ROMNEY! ROMNEY!

I hope they do, the RP guys could insert some alternating words in the middle of that:

ROMNEY (SUCKS!) ROMNEY (SUCKS!)

ROMN- (PAUL!) ROMN- (PAUL!)

[phill4paul]

Obama is going to slaughter him in debates if this speech is any indicator. No fire, fake expressions, way too rehearsed, jokes are flat, etc.

Hands down. It will be painful to the establishment hacks in the GOP.

[1stAmendguy]

I don't want Mitt to win, but I do hope he kicks in Obama's teeth during the debates. Obama is treated like a freaking endangered species in this country. He needs to be humbled.
Then he would similtaneosly be kicking his own teeth in.

[orenbus]

Obama is going to slaughter him in debates if this speech is any indicator. No fire, fake expressions, way too rehearsed, jokes are flat, etc.

This ^

Romney is also not very flexible in debates, if he gets frustrated it will shine through, he's easy to throw off balance.

[ClydeCoulter]

No problem getting a plaster cast of that face.............uhmmmmmmmmmm

[donnay]

Get government out of business...but we know that won't happen.

[wgadget]

I hope they do, the RP guys could insert some alternating words in the middle of that:

Yea, this is the best we can do, yea................a.............a................ .a

[acptulsa]

'...better off than you were four years ago...' Guy thinks he's Clinton. Will we get more scandals with fat interns?


Yea, this is the best we can do, yea................a.............a................ .a

Um, no. He's just the best the Fox News would give them permission to nominate.

[ShaneEnochs]

Ronmey can't handle curve balls. Obama dances around them pretty easily.

[wgadget]

Yeah, remember Mittens vs. Perry in the debates?

HAHAHAHAH!!! Two grown men acting like children.

[newbitech]

who the f measures how good or bad off they are based on who is running the dictatorship?

[AuH20]

This ^

Romney is also not very flexible in debates, if he gets frustrated it will shine through, he's easy to throw off balance.

He did fine during the primary debates and showed a real attack dog side that you don't normally see. McCain backed off Obama during 2008. Romney needs to press him hard if he's going to compete. There is so much material to assail Obama that it is ridiculous. He can dance all he likes.

[ClydeCoulter]

Crea...mer, they call him the crea...mer, Obama gonna cream.......him........, Obama gonna cream.......him........

[Tyler_Durden]

Yeah, remember Mittens vs. Perry in the debates?

HAHAHAHAH!!! Two grown men acting like children.

I'll bet you $10,000.....

[JSaindon]

"America needs jobs, lots of jobs".....So tell us Mitt, how do you propose to get jobs when all you did was cut jobs that led to closing plants and move others overseas for more profits? You know nothing and stole your profits from hard working real people.

[WhistlinDave]

Does anybody buy that this multi millionaire even knows what it means if the price of gas doubles or groceries cost more? Seriously.

Yes people need jobs, but we also need politicians that are not corrupt lying defrauding cheaters.

[wgadget]

So, uh....Mitt. Got any SOLUTIONS?

[orenbus]

And Romney goes into awkward mode when he's not prepared to deal with a specific question, like that one interview where he's like, this is a weird interview...

I honestly have no idea how this guy got the nomination, he's going to get crushed. Only thing he has going for him is that some of the Dems don't like Obama's position on gay marriage so that might cause them to stay home.

[Carlybee]

Oh darn I missed the whole thing. I can always invision Mitt as a lounge lizard singing a really boring version of Mack the Knife whilst wearing a smoking jacket with an ascot.

[wgadget]

I'll bet you $10,000.....

And that time when they looked like they were gonna punch each other? Can't remember the topic...

[ClydeCoulter]

Oh p...l....e....a....s...e, I can't take 8 years of that.

[economics102]

The sad thing is, you can tell Mitt has dreamed of this moment his whole life.. And yet, he sucks at it.

He's like a kid who always dreamed of playing major league baseball, and through some miracle and the help of Tony Danza, he gets to play, and it turns out he can't play for shit.

[Tyler_Durden]

What is beside the American flag on the pin on his jacket? I can never tell.

Israeli flag?

Kidding, but seriously, what is it?

Goldman Sach flag?

But seriously, what is it?

[donnay]

12 million new jobs? How about cutting a Trillion dollars off the first year like Ron Paul?

[garyallen59]

drivel

[orenbus]

I'll bet you $10,000.....

LOL, what an idiot.

Wasn't it the undocumented landscapers than mitt hired.......petty, petty...

[acptulsa]

'You should elect me because Obama has neither fixed the problems Dubya created nor changed the crappy policies Dubya instituted.'

And not one single specific. How are you going to do all of these things, bubba?

Somebody, Help ME, I Can't take it

[economics102]

Oh darn I missed the whole thing. I can always invision Mitt as a lounge lizard singing a really boring version of Mack the Knife whilst wearing a smoking jacket with an ascot.

Wow. You just nailed it. Brilliant.

That must have been in some super secret debate that I didn't see.

[newbitech]

how can you cut the deficit and put American "on track" to a balanced budget.

If the budget is not balanced, you can't cut squat. successful business man?

[ClydeCoulter]

Oh, that's much better, I turned off CSpan

[donnay]

Repealing and replacing Romney Care! Gag me! Get government out of our lives!!! Limited government. How about bringing our troops home!!!!!???

[CPUd]

how can you cut the deficit and put American "on track" to a balanced budget.

If the budget is not balanced, you can't cut squat. successful business man?

the new definition of 'cutting the deficit' is making it increase at a slower rate

Uh oh! He just gave a "read my lips" comment....

[devil21]

Oh boy, time for some policy points.

12 million new jobs
Energy independence by 2020
Government gives skills to people
New global trade agreements
Assure investments in Treasury bonds don't become worthless
Reduce corporate tax, repeal Obamacare, deregulation
President will respect what women do and not raise taxes on the middle class
Pro-life, anti-gay marriage, freedom of religion

He's actually making Obama's foreign policy sound decent....

[wgadget]

He has a cheater's countenance.

[WhistlinDave]

He just insinuated he is going to get us involved in WWIII with Israel and Iran.

[ClydeCoulter]

He's actually making Obama's foreign policy sound decent....

I know, it's quaint, ain't it.

[acptulsa]

How does this lip service to peace square with his promise at the Citadel last spring to kick the world's asses?

'...monuments to those who gave their lives for America.' And promises to let more Americans give their lives for oil leases and other imperialistic goals.

[AuH20]

That must have been in some super secret debate that I didn't see.

No one is very objective in here because of the whole messy delegate situation, so Romney is downgraded as pure shit for every characteristic. Objective analysis is not going to be seen in here. I objectively watch politics as a hobby and Romney is not a poor debater. If I remember correctly he systematically dismantled both Perry and Pawlenty when they went after him. Romney has improved greatly since 2008 in terms of debating ability and setting up his opponents for missteps. Does this mean I'm going to vote for him?? Of course not.

[ClydeCoulter]

He just insinuated he is going to get us involved in WWIII with Israel and Iran.

Really? I missed that, had to turn it off, could not take it anymore, no more, no more, ^ no more......^^^^^^^ hit the road jack....

[WhistlinDave]

He's actually making Obama's foreign policy sound decent....

Only because he is not describing Obama's policy accurately. Obama is as big a war monger as anyone.

It's actually the same policy. I call it the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama-Romney foreign policy. Endless war at every opportunity.

[Tyler_Durden]

He just insinuated he is going to get us involved in WWIII with Israel and Iran.

Yep. It will put Americans back to work....... :rolleyes:

[wgadget]

Romney's best debate tool is his smirk.

[FrancisMarion]

What a fucking joke this is. I hope there are a lot of epiphanies right now.

[economics102]

[devil21]

Can't figure out what's on his lapel pin. It's obviously the US flag but it's got a star or something similar on it. Doesn't look like the star of David. I wonder if it's Mormon symbolism for the star of Kolob?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolob

[acptulsa]

The American People and the United States of America are two separate things that require separate blessings from Above?

[playpianoking]

May god bless you,
may god bless the people,
and may god bless the United States of America.

Redundant much!?!?

[phill4paul]

I hate myself for staying up and watching that and hoping, beyond hope, that disaffected delegates would contribute to the evening. G'night.

[jay_dub]

Only because he is not describing Obama's policy accurately. Obama is as big a war monger as anyone.

It's actually the same policy. I call it the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama-Romney foreign policy. Endless war at every opportunity.

It's Manifest Destiny writ large.

[cpike]

Did he really say he would return to the era of Truman? A democrat who dropped the A-Bomb, started UN and pushed for national health insurance? Then again that does sound like Romney....

[JSaindon]

If his idea of peace is expanded military action, he has a pretty distorted view of peace.

[ShaneEnochs]

No one is very objective in here because of the whole messy delegate situation, so Romney is downgraded as pure shit for every characteristic. Objective analysis is not going to be seen in here.

Do you not remember Ron debating him and him looking like he was going to have a hissy? Or the ten grand bet? Or when he about loath it and punched Perry?

[ClydeCoulter]

People, we are the military arm of the PTB. Get that and you start getting it.

[CPUd]

Why does he always sound like he' s gonna cry?

[AuH20]

Bush, Dole, Bush McCain, Romney. What a run of moderates.

[ClydeCoulter]

People, we are the military arm of the PTB. Get that and you start getting it.

And most things have more than one arm, hhahahahahahahha

Yep. It will put Americans back to work....... :rolleyes:

What is beside the American flag on the pin on his jacket? I can never tell.

Israeli flag?

Kidding, but seriously, what is it?


Goldman Sachs flag?

But seriously, what is it?


Can't figure out what's on his lapel pin. It's obviously the US flag but it's got a star or something similar on it. Doesn't look like the star of David. I wonder if it's Mormon symbolism for the star of Kolob?

Not Mormon symbol because Ryan has one too.....

Maybe it's a hypnosis symbol, like a spinning pinwheel?

Bush, Dole, Bush McCain, Romney. What a run of moderates.
Funny George W. ran as the most conservative candidate among them.

[Natural Citizen]

The American People and the United States of America are two separate things that require separate blessings from Above?

Why do you ask that? Because he only accepted nomination for president of "The United States"? or did I miss something?

[Brett85]

The basic theme for me in watching the convention is that I agree with just about everything all of the speakers say in regard to domestic issues, and disagree with just about everything they say in regards to foreign policy. The thing the GOP doesn't seem to understand is that their domestic policy views and foreign policy views are diametrically opposed to each other. How can you advocate a small government domestic policy and a big government foreign policy at the same time?

[Tyler_Durden]

They should mic Romney up during the singing so that Obama can use it in a new anti-Romney ad.....

[ClydeCoulter]

Now, I'm beginning to understand the people's of the world's frustration with us. We just don't get it.

Someone on the radio said the pin was an upside down star...?

I don't have a clue what it means.

Good. Both contain more substance than that speech did.

They came before us, fighting for freedom for eons. We had it handed to us, and fuck'ed it up, for them and us.

It looked to me, like it may have been a dark-colored stone set in the flag.

one of the friendly looking security guys says it is a badge pin for all the vips so they can go in and out without security checks, like the congressional pins

Yes... John Boehner Is Drunk!

[Aratus]

they just froze the debt clock at the convention

[Dogsoldier]

Did you see the point where everybody was looking very nervous and looking around and they escorted someone out?Well I swear it looked like the person was covered in blood?Nobody else seen that?

Also...Didnt rubio say referring to mitt just before he introduced him....he wants to grow government and shrink freedom there at the end of his speech?...anybody?Or am I crazy?

There is an awesome RP supporter on phone on CSPAN right now.


Oh they just cut him off. He was going off on immoral empirialism. Really good stuff.

David Axelrod‏@davidaxelrod

"That screaming you hear backstage is poor Clint, when they told him Mitt wants U.S. to stay in Afghanistan INDEFINITELY."

[LibertyEagle]

Ugh, this guy on the phone right now is an idiot.

"It took a world war to get out of the last depression."

[P3ter_Griffin]

Did he say he wants to go to war with Iran, or just usual the usual republican pandering?

[wgadget]

The point is the economy is SO SCREWED UP that NO ONE could have/can fix it without HUGE cuts a la Ron Paul's budget.

Neither Romney or Obama are able to admit it.

Neither can/will keep their promises.

Yeah, it's an excuse for Obama, but people are crazy if they really think Romney can make things any better.

Yesterday as he closed the day, he was drunken too. At least I would bet ten bucks on it.

I'm serious

No surprise. Most politicians are drunks. Ron Paul has commented on it in the past. If you attended any of the state conventions then you'd see that politicians LOOOOOVE them some booze. The "hospitality suites" that open up after the day's business is over is full of politicians getting hammered.

I was not really WATCHING it, mostly listening, so I didn't see the blood. Ann Romney looked disturbed for a while, though.

But yes, Rubio definitely said something weird about CHOOSING MORE GOVERNMENT or something...

Not sure exactly what you're referring to but probably the part where Clint alluded that Obama told Mitt and Clint to go fuck themselves.
