Republican Convention Thread

[Zoots]

Oh fuck!

 

[deep]

nada

rudy is bi-lingual

 

[Irvine511]

amazing: "john mccain will lower taxes so our economy can grow."

wow. just, wow.

 

[deep]

Obama wants to send your job to Kenya.

 

[Utoo]

Seriously. For a group that mocked Obama for giving no specifics, the plans and statements coming out of these mouths are about as general as they come.

Whitman (ex-CEO of Ebay) gave a speech that was essentially a Cliff's Notes of buzzphrases from the last 8 elections.

 

[phanan]

This is truly scary.

 

[Irvine511]

now Rudy's gettin' nasty. 9/11. iraq.

 

[Irvine511]

aaaaand ... the 9/11 imagery goes up on the wall.

 

[Utoo]

Obama wants to send your job to Kenya.

Awesome.

Of course, Guiliani seems right now like he'd blow Kenya off the map if he thought there were a Muslim living there...

 

[LMP]

Does anybody have any tomatoes on hand there?

This is one of the most abysmal speeches I've ever seen.

 

[Utoo]

This is truly scary.

Hey, the Politics of Fear worked in the last election.

 

[Zoots]

Ugh!

 

[boosterjuice]

Great speech by McCain.

 

[LMP]

Boooooooooooooooooo.

 

[U2isthebest]

I'm just going to save myself the nuanced thought and give the only reaction this entire night needs.

 

[deep]

Obama did say the U N should handle the Russian / Georgian War.

Let's hope he is sleeping with Biden at 3 a m

I flipped the channel and saw that Giuliani was speaking. I didn't last more than a minute. I left the room.
Is Palin supposed to speak tonight?

 

[Irvine511]

Of course, Guiliani seems right now like he'd blow Kenya off the map if he thought there were a Muslim living there...

and he fucking well should. if he didn't, then the terrorists would win.

at least Rudy is offering attacks that aren't nonsensical. i don't agree, but he's at least not spewing this mental breakdown stuff that's been coming out of the mouths of Republicans.

i mean, it's all about bloodshed and the vicarious thrills of empire and how killing bad guys makes him hard.

but, you know, these are Republicans.

 

[deep]

Rudy should not be talking about not being flashy enough.

 

[Zoots]

I flipped the channel and saw that Giuliani was speaking. I didn't last more than a minute. I left the room.
Is Palin supposed to speak tonight?

Yeah Palin's up next I think.

 

[U2isthebest]

Rudy should not be talking about not being flashy enough.

Didn't he clean up Times Square to get rid of that sort of thing?

 

[sue4u2]

Is Palin supposed to speak tonight?

Just dropped in to see if it's just me.
Apparently, not..

Yes, Palin is speaking sometime tonight.

 

[LMP]

That was one goddamn hell of a show, Rudy.

 

[Pop Artist]

Ugh, Rudy. just. go. away.

Edit: Oh thank god.

 

[Irvine511]

i can't not post this:

With Rudy's speech, to riff on the brilliance of the immortal Molly Ivins, I think I preferred this speech in the original German.

 

[deep]

Sarah looks nice

so far
so good

 

[Irvine511]

here she comes ...

 

[deep]

We got gypped out of the Palin film
god damn Rudy

 

[Zoots]

Sarah looks nice

so far
so good

 

[Zoots]

Oh yet another one that cannot pronounce 'Iraq'.
