RNC Convention Thread

Fred Thompson=Lying douche.

We all know McCain was a P.O.W, but seriously, why does that make him presidential material?

[Comicsartist]

And what the fuck is up with the dude who keeps yelling, "Yes! Yes!" ?? He sounds like a wounded camel.


It is very annoying.

[Comicsartist]

Also, even though we all already know this, Lieberman is a lying prick, too.

"The other candidate is trying hard to make John McCain into someone else." (Paraphrasing)

Can you even fathom this shit??

We had a man who says Cindy McCain helped orphans in Bangladesh. His wife and daughter are from Bangladesh.

A female fire chief who talked about the bridge falling down.

A longtime Hispanic democrat friend of McPain's from Arizona. (God father of his son.)

A fellow Hanoi Hilton prisoner who knew McCain there and has been a supporter throughout his political career.

A video essay about a Navy Seal who sacrificed himself by diving on a grenade.

And at PBS we're just coming onto Laura Bush.

So far, a whole lot of military stuff and personality stuff and nothing issue oriented.

Same ol'.

Thx

And in the audience it looks like a dairy explosion and the mummified remains of the Tutankhamun Administration. They soiled the flag by bringing into the room with those fascist pieces of shit.

That's right, fiascists. They're going that much further right wing.

same ole arguments at a boring convention….
Are the Democrats still going to be on Larry King this week to respond to the Republicans??

Josh September 2nd, 2008 10:36 pm ET
Thompson said about Obama "history making: because he is the most liberal candidate ever"….
Hardly the most liberal…. I would be happier if he were MORE liberal. Would say he is pretty centrist at the moment.

Barbara September 2nd, 2008 10:36 pm ET
That old republican?

Dave an Independent September 2nd, 2008 10:36 pm ET
Does anyone at the RNC want to talk about the economy?

Dee September 2nd, 2008 10:36 pm ET
What a moron. Could he possibly be anymore patronizing. I hope he is belittling the historic nature of Sen. Obama's candidacy. It has a way of coming back to bite you. But then again, here is a man who had to ask for applause

Adam, Plano, TX September 2nd, 2008 10:37 pm ET
that was easily the most full of crap speech i've ever heard. way to go fred thompson, you're a clown.

michael September 2nd, 2008 10:37 pm ET
Has anyone seen my grampa? I took him out for dinner in the twin cities and I need to get him back to the nursing home… he starts talking crazy if he doesn't get his meds on time.

FrankSmith September 2nd, 2008 10:37 pm ET
The problem is that McCain has NEVER been tested as President, nor is Thompson. Only ex-Presidents such as Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter and so on can make such claims. After George Bush, how any American can listen to these idiots puzzles me! But then—

Jane with a brain September 2nd, 2008 10:37 pm ET
A convention for old fools with old ideas that work anymore. No wonder the rest of the world is leaving us behind. McSame does not put his country first. He put "womanizing" first. He could not stop looking at Sara "McPlain" Palin's behind. He is just using us women for his own personal desires. He chooses a second rate beauty queen instead of qualified candidates. Now he wants to give his VP choice a crash course in foreign policy. Wake up America! The rest of the world is laughing at us! Palin is a JOKE to all Americans. By the way I'm a republican. Save the drama and vote Obama

Robert in Seattle September 2nd, 2008 10:37 pm ET
The least canned sounding speech of the convention, still boring and spin filled, but at least it was a little more entertaining.

Lee from FL September 2nd, 2008 10:37 pm ET
they are so brain washed, they said john voted against Reagan about the troops but i hear nothing about his vote for IRAQ
this is boring,and its seems like they are more military than fixing the economy for the American people

Peter September 2nd, 2008 10:37 pm ET
Obama takes outright swipes at the Republicans and anyone who supports McCain with some very basic proven lies and now it wa the Republicans turn to throw some facts on to the fire. GO MCCAIN!!!

RyanD. September 2nd, 2008 10:37 pm ET
Flip-Flop on abortion so you can get those WEDGE VOTES, Thompson!
Fear, hate and vitriol is the only way the GOP can hope to compete.
Obama-Biden 08′

Donna September 2nd, 2008 10:37 pm ET
Oh thank you. He's stopped talking.
Maybe he'll go field dress a moose now.

Vanessa September 2nd, 2008 10:37 pm ET
Was it just me or did they forget about our economy?

Roger from CA September 2nd, 2008 10:37 pm ET
Oh, come on Gergen, etc.: the speech sucked! Stop misreporting, trying to sound "fair"?

Robin September 2nd, 2008 10:37 pm ET
Sarah Palin is a "breath of fresh air", and a big belly laugh.

dddeee September 2nd, 2008 10:37 pm ET
Boringggg

Barbara September 2nd, 2008 10:37 pm ET
By the way, ONLY GOD knows when life begins. I think that's definitely above everyone's pay grade.

Seventhwonder September 2nd, 2008 10:38 pm ET
THis was not energizing,,,,this gave me indigestion,,,,,this is the night of the living dead.

jason September 2nd, 2008 10:38 pm ET
hahahah hater

Barbara September 2nd, 2008 10:38 pm ET
How presumptuous

Matt September 2nd, 2008 10:39 pm ET
ZZZZZ……More half truths from the RNC. Way to go Fred!!! Stick to acting. He's just scared his millions will be taxed for the first time in a decade.

I think one or two of these people agree!

Yeah, what a sorry-assed, generic republican speech.

Sounds like typical republican rhetoric of the last eight years. Fred doesn't want change.

Now Lieberman... haha, he is so close to trashing the GOP I expect to see a couple tomatoes flying.

Talking about how Clinton worked unilaterally to accomplish a few things, work-fare and a balanced budget.

How McCain supported the surge. (In a war created and backed by who? lol)

I think about 35 or 40 people are shouting "Joe, Joe!".

Now an appeal to independents.

Thx

On PBS, when the female fire chief was talking about the bridge collapsing, the camera went over to HW Bush and wife smiling and mugging for another camera I guess.

Yeah, I think it's getting past a lot of those old folks bedtime. lol

Thx

[Comicsartist]

And along comes Newt Gingbitch touting Palin's reams and reams of experience...

This is turning out to be the biggest group lie-fest since 9-11 was 'tied' to Iraq.
