Republican National Convention Thread (September 1-4, 2008)

Pretty much losing any respect I had left for Rudy Guiliani...all he's doing is making fun of Obama, and enjoying it to boot. If you want to argue against his positions, his experience, his policies...you can do it in a mature fashion...not this childish bulls**t.

 

Giuliani is bringing the HEAT!!!!

"Maybe they cling to religion there!!!"

BRUTAL

 

sig worthy

 

Also a Democrat. No one wants hear Republican BS......

 

8 years after the TV hit America. I don't think his TV audience was a big as Obama's.

 

True statement.

 

I thought Giuliani started off pretty strong, but the longer he goes on the more he sounds like a high school bully just using a juvenile mocking tone.

 

Thats what I am saying, this is just pathetic. I was an undecided voter until I started watching this speech. He is saying nothing of substance, just sitting here putting down Obama (not even in an intellectual way) and the democratic party.

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

rudy G has no dignity

 

Tell you what, Palin better be a whole lot better than Rudy. She sure doesn't have a tough act to follow.

 

Who's using the children now?

 

He just brought up slavery. LOL!

 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoa boy, what a valid point!

 

Again, Was this speech written by a 3rd grader?

Each sentence has absolutely nothing to do with the previous sentence, there are no transitions at all. This is painful to listen to.

 

I agree especially with the part I bolded. I expected and still expect attacks, but his are so juvenile, simple, and non-issue oriented.

I will say to his favor the choir at the convention seems to enjoy it.

 

yes the war has been terribly planned and a bad idea but the surge worked relatively well. it wasn't necessarily because of the troop increases but the tactics they used to deploy the troops among the people like a neighborhood watch program. if bush's dumbass would have planned things better to start then things might not have been as bad.

 

Ive heard louder pops at a Bobcats game LOL, this is crap. I hope she does good, cause this has a been a disaster.

 

I love how they pan in on the kid that porked her child.

 

One of the well-lodged criticisms of Rudy is that he always surrounds himself with total yes-men more valued for loyalty than for their ability. As a consequence you get crap speeches like this written for you because nobody will say the Emperor has no clothes.
