I’m really enjoying seeing Romney’s friend speak about the character of the President. I really hope they use more of this leading up to the election in November. This will really help to show that he really is a terrific human being.

I disagree with the Mormon theology. But as I am listening to the speeches talking about his involvement in his church, I wonder if President Obama ever showed that much commitment to his. I am not trying to denigrate Obama’s faith in any way. I am just saying that I cannot imagine that Obama helped take down and set up chairs, visit people in the hospital, organize meals for people, etc.

Tom Stemberg – “They just don’t get it!” and Joe Biden can’t quit talking…never were truer words ever spoken

Exactly.

It took courage for those Olympians to get on that stage. You know the nasty Left is going target them for being a Conservative and/or members of the GOP.

tee hee hee

that was the weirdest thing i’ve ever seen in my life……………..

I love Marco Rubio. He gets straight to the point.

I am excited for Romney/Ryan this go around, mainly because of Ryan. But I must admit that President Rubio has a nice ring to it in 2016 or 2020. What a phenomonel speech. One of the best Conservative leaders and communicators in the country.

Are these libtards that keep interrupting Mitt? Doesn’t seem to phase him. He’s just hitting his stride.

Not sure what your point is. Did you not like the speech? Not know who Rubio is?

The trouble is, Barack Obama DID succeed. He got everything he wanted with one party rule. Too bad it was exactly opposite of what us non-cronies needed.

“President Obama promised to slow the rise of the oceans…and to heal the planet. My promise is to help you and your families”. I hope they make an ad out of that.

It was tough for me to get the overall feel of the speech due to some buffering issues with the live feed at the beginning. But from what I saw it was a good, solid speech. It was positive and I think it struck the right tone. It was not as good as Ryan’s, IMHO. I would also have liked to hear more about limiting the size and scope of government. But overall, I think Romney suceeded with his speech.

Not only that but the incredulous look on Romney’s face; really he should do that more often because he is very good at it and it is more natural for him. It was exactly the same tactic,he used on George Stephie about contraception.

I was very impressed with the speech. I don’t think it could have ever lived up to Ryan’s; he is such a natural. But Mitt did not disappoint. He was very passionate when he talked about the beauty of free enterprise and really ended it with a great send off.

I liked the overall tone. It was very positive and pro-American exceptionalism. I was a little disapointed that little mention was made of the Tea Party. If it were not for them and those of us who support them, the GOP would not have a prayer. But many of the TP ideas and themes were present throughout the convention. So that is a win for the TP.

I liked the weaving of the personal narratives of hard work and success into the principles and ideas of Conservatism. It was so nostalgic. It reminded me of the America that I have read about in the history books and the principles on which this country was founded.

I still think he should have gotten out. But the fact that he is tied with McCaskill after making those assenine comments does not bode well for Obama. Looks like your predictions were right on. So, who are your predicting to win the NC in college football this year? Since you are on a roll and all……:)

Was Eastwood there just so Mitt could follow that mess? What was the point of that? Oh well. He’s still cool, I guess.

Gotcha. Rubio is a great Senator from FL. Fiscal, social, and limited government Conservative. Great personal story. He will most likely be the POTUS someday.

Best speakers were Romney, Rubio, and his friends and colleagues. Romney is a man of both character and competence.
Clint was okay, though a distraction. The Romney video should have been shown after that.
It was Newt and Callista who disappointed.

Seriously? Was the man’s subtle humor too subtle for you? He was awesome. Eastwood hit a grand slam home run and his line about “you just gotta let ‘em go” will be the one that resonates. Even in Kalifornia. Please knock off the buzz kill. So tired of people raining on a good parade.

He was good. But I wondered if that slot was originally for Gov. Jindhal. I would have loved to hear him speak. But he is being a true leader by going to help his state that is being deluged with Hurricane Isaac.

MSNBC criticism:
Madcow – Eastwood bad, my God Eastwood, that was the strange that Eastwood Come On, Rachel – you’re better than this, Olbermann would have found more fire in his belly.

Reverend Al: I can’t believe he stood up to Putin Don’t try to make sense of this, it’s Reverend Al, it’s not supposed to make sense

Ed Schultz…they are calling Obama an empty suit – it’s disrespectful no Eddie – it’s correct

Chris Hayes – uh nothing He was about to say something stupid and embarassing, I know it; Madcow knew it so she just cut him off

Steve Schmidt – using Eastwood was irresponsible. Criticizing Putin will cause Romney, Colin Powell endorsement. Losing the Powell endorsement caused us the election. First on Eastwood, so sayeth the man who ran the most inept campaign for President since McGovern. The remark (on Powell) is another of Schmidt’s pathetic attempts to not have to look in the mirror. Well maybe he has moved on from it was Palin’s fault

Next they were throwing it to Chris Matthews. Mrs tnfriend has banned me from watching Chris Matthews as she knows something is liable to get broken. I am sure he called Eastwood a racist; Romney’s rose story was racist (it doesn’t have to be logical – it’s Chris Tingles),

Thanks for that analysis from the exploding heads, tnfriend. I have BS-NBC blocked at my house. We unblocked it temporarily the night Walker won the recall. I’m glad you watched it so I didn’t have to. LOL! Loved that Putin line, and I imagine Eastwood doesn’t much care what anyone thinks about him, especially those self-absorbed know it all’s.

http://evilbloggerlady.blogspot.com/2012/08/mitt-romney-speech-at-republican.html Great intros by Rubio and Eastwood, but who knew the highlight of the night would be Michael Moore?

This convention defines the contrast between Romney and Obama. One has a lifetime of good deeds,the other a doper who never went to class in high school one day wakes up and goes to an ivy league school . He didn’t do it on his own someone else took the tests and wrote the papers. The most extreme example of affirmative action the world has ever seen.
