Official 8/30 RNC Convention Discussion Thread

[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. 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.

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]

And most things have more than one arm, hhahahahahahahha

 

[Carlybee]

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

Yep, the casket makers and undertakers

 

[mport1]

Man, I hope Obama destroys him.

 

[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 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?

 

[ClydeCoulter]

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

Cause his mommy and daddy were of the elite and he could have been like one of us.......awwwwwwwww

 

[orenbus]

"Living in America" on endless loop, they could have at least played the actual song.

 

[James Otis Jr.]

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?

 

[Aratus]

we just got past the release

of all the balloons...

now back to some music

 

[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?
