Wow..Watching Clint Eastwood is SAD.

So it was a speech telling us to vote for Johnson then?

 

[pcosmar]

Exactly. And he said LIBERTARIAN, too.

Hmmmmm...Yep, those security guards were nervous all right. For sure. Heh.

That would have been good,, Security dragging Clint out on live TV.

That would have made my day.

Yes, perhaps. I didn't hear him mention any names.

 

[Philosophy_of_Politics]

LOLOL!

Unfortunately, I think he was saying Obama was crazy to want to close gitmo (trying terrorists in nyc) and to bring the troops home from Afghanistan on a certain date, or tomorrow. I hope I got it wrong.

That's what I heard too, I think.

or to change their vote while convention is over and vote for Ron. Clint liked Ron earlier in the election, at least.

 

[KramerDSP]

That's what I heard too, I think.

I remember him saying Obama is the guy who wanted to try terrorists in NYC and scoffing, so I think you're both right. His delivery came off as scattered, IMO.

 

[1000-points-of-fright]

I couldn't watch his whole routine. I had to keep switching the channel in order to keep my head from exploding so I missed what he said about libertarians. What did he say?

 

[LibertyEagle]

Just remember that all Americans are not as stupid as those at the RNC clapping for this shit.

Clint has called himself a libertarian in the past. He's not a hardcore partisan. I followed his speech and he wasn't running off a teleprompter, just saying what came to mind. He was acting like Obama was sitting in the chair next to him and mentioned how Obama promised to close Gitmo and get the troops out of Afghanistan and that we should have asked Russia how invading Afghanistan worked out before going in. He's getting old but he's got a new movie coming out and he was pretty funny overall. I liked his speech better than the Rubio fluff Im hearing right now at least.

He just seemed so old..That was what was sad.

Nothing. He was, in a disjointed manner, calling for unity and mentioned that Republicans, Democrats, libertarians (or did he mean Libertarians?) and etc. had more in common than not.

well, if he said that, he probably wasn't reading a teleprompter.

Peter Suderman@petersudermanEastwood speech as transcribable as Romney's tax plan is scorable MT @sarahkliff: Full Clint Eastwood transcript here: wapo.st/N2uY6e

 

[Aratus]

He's talking to an invisible Obama in the chair, and it has actually gotten better. While he is endorsing Romney, Eastwood would have been a better choice than anyone besides Paul, and certainly is getting more sincere applause than any other speaker so far.

he nailed it if you think how george carlin did his comedy gigs

..................................... !!! ......................................

And Clint was scaring the crap out of them there for a minute. lol

 

[Aratus]

So DID he actually endorse Romney?

I musta missed it.

It seemed like he was encouraging people to vote

for NICE GUYS...that would be RON, of course.

its a thought....

 

[wgadget]

Wrong thread. Whoops.

 

[Dr.3D]

I was hoping he would "make their day."
