The only people who promote the “Romeny is not pro-life” line are Catholic democrats desperately trying to rationalize their votes for evil. On CAF we see all these posts telling us we have been duped and Romeny is pro-abortion, On TV we see ad after ad from Obama and pro-abortion groups telling us he is a pro-life extremist.
I am not voting for Father/Husband of the Year. His business experience impresses me, but he didn’t talk about it much.
Did you read the quote? I asked if any of it resonated with you…none of it was about his fatherhood or marriage. I’m guessing you just tuned it out as he said it too?
He didn’t have to. His RESULTS speak for themselves. What do you prefer Scott, someone who talks about all the things he is GOING to do or someone who has actually DONE them, who has a proven track record of success in every endeavor?
He didn’t seem confused at times to you- like he forgot what he was going to say.
Honest? He had people laughing at his jokes and cheering. How do you honestly describe that as “sucking energy out of the room?”
You believe that Romney’s wife, knowing him personally, can accurately gauge that he would be an effective president?
If you can’t be honest here. It was a strained speech. Ann Romney addtted as much.Honest? He had people laughing at his jokes and cheering. How do you honestly describe that as “sucking energy out of the room?”
I agree that it wasn’t a big deal, and yet the Dems are making it a big deal. It was comic relief mixed with jabs at the president. Some of his hesitation was intentional, because he was pretending to ask the empty chair what he was saying. Some of the hesitation/strain was due to his age, which Dems don’t seem to want to give him a break about.
I watched the whole thing with my wife. I am not saying anything negative about Romney, per se, just that nothing glaring stood out. I thought Ryan hit it out of the park, and Rubio was fantastic…even though he gaffed in the last couple of sentences. Now, I get that he is painting the picture that he is a good guy to vote FOR, rather than just a vote against Obama. GOod strategy, and I like his “all of the above” energy message.Did you read the quote? I asked if any of it resonated with you…none of it was about his fatherhood or marriage.

People who want to be mean are jerks. Yes, it’s small beans. You will see me be the first one to admit weirdness if I see it in the DNC.
Eastwood was great. Yes, his age is showing. GIve the guy a break, he’s 82. But, his comments on Biden being the intellectual powerhouse of the DNC and that he is “kind of a grin with a body behind it” were funny. And telling “empty chair Obama” to “no, you shut up, its my turn”. The best line of the night from any speaker was “When someone isn’t getting the job done, you gotta let him go.”Honest?

Clint Eastwood wasn’t there to give a speech. He was there to be Clint Eastwood. The man is an entertainer. He entertained. Like many entertainers who use politics as their subject, the truth of his statements was the genesis of the humor.
It wasn’t a fumble at all. He was a big name draw to get the crowd woken up and ready for Rubio, who was fantastic, and ROmney, who made the case that he is just as nice of a guy and just as dependable a family man as Obama. Now, we can look at their records. A vote for Obama is a vote for the nanny state. A vote for Romney is a vote for personal liberty. THe distinction is clear.
At least CLint Eastwood was funny without being profane or derogatory.
That it left the normally articulate and unflappable Rachel Maddow speechless is notable.
That makes it even better.
I have thought about this too. I came to the conclusion that he shouldn’t change his prayer at the DNC at all. What he said was Truth.
