RNC Night 4
- Thread starter Inclag
- Start date
I can't decide if I'm gonna tune in tonight or not.
I'll watch after the Giants game, mainly to catch a glimpse of the teleprompter. I want to see if it looks like this:
NOW
IS
THE
TIME
FOR
CHANGE
NOW

They probably put a magnifying glass on the teleprompter too.
joke would've been funnier except ridemonkey doesn't allow sizes bigger than 7.

lthumbsdown:
Cindy McCain is on now. Same generic speechwriter, much, MUCH worse speaker. You can hear crickets in the convention center...
wait, John was a POW?
oh god, this is a snoozefest. (mccain's finally speaking)
OH MY GOD MCCAIN'S IN FRONT OF A GREEN SCREEN!!! It's a shot of the white house, but all you see is the green background when it's a closeup!! bwahahahahahaha!!!! can't wait to see what the interwebs come up with.
Ya the green screen is rad. Also, this speech is boring, but so far much better than hypocrite-mom last night.
I don't understand the level of IQ of the people attending this conference. It must be in the negative. They cheered ripping on obama and palin being as divisive as can be last night, and they cheer mccain praising obama and basically talking about crossing the aisle to get stuff done when necessary.
Oh and their only answer to anything is to cheer USA like a bunch of drunk frat boys. Wtf?

Woman fighting with banner. what's it say whats it say?? Like 3 people were just escorted out??
now it's a plain blue screen. think Colbert might have a little fun with this???and his "Obama, I respect you..." speech would've worked so much better without Palin's much-watched attack yesterday.
"Hard to keep food on your table..."
USA USA USA
Ya, something to be proud of right there, morons.

Is that who those weirdos were? What do they think they will accomplish? Love how the tv crews are actually focusing on them, instead of ignoring them a la NFL.
One guy with big banner got his point across.
You fvckers are making me miss television.
Yes that's your cue to make up a bunch of shlt now.

there are some cougars in the audience.
honestly, without all the red meat stuff from last night, this would be a halfway decent, bipartisan speech. after last night, all I can think is "good god, he's going to die soon and leave that horrible woman president".
he's still on hanoi time - he was a POW y'know - where it's high noon
"More choices to make for yourself."
Right, like when to have an abortio..oh wait.

anybody else catch the young guy yawning??
for those who are a bit bored with McCain, this is what we have to look forward to.

PS: McCain was a POW!
still think it's not a half-bad speech. but in the context of last night, it just seems... hollow.
It's an awful lot of rhetoric, but obviously much easier to listen to than the squeaky voiced hypocrite last night. It'd be even better if they dropped all the POW american hero BS and actually got to issues.
If he wasn't looking to take away the rights of American's and cram his religious beliefs down everyone's throat, he'd be a great candidate.
ps: he was a pow.

good stuff
I liked hearing about it firsthand actually.
me too. sounded more like McCain2000 than I've heard in a while. just don't agree with any of his speeches/decisions he's made in the last 18months...
Yeah. I agree. Of course, he'd never have won the repub nomination if he hadn't changed his ways.... or at least what he says are his ways. I think in either case we end up with a better man than Bush.
But man, I really hate the Palin choice for VP.
yup. it'll be *extremely* interesting whether she is a help for him, or an anchor. I see it as playing two ways:
1) He wins nomination. He lasts for one term, then she takes over. It becomes Sarah Palin's Party, with the hardcore right-wing groups basically keeping control (which they've had for the past 8 years). It'll be a vindication of the right-wing insisting on her.
2) He loses nomination, and Sarah's blamed. Republicans take a good hard look at the extreme right-wing of the party, and reorganize to a more moderate, all-encompassing party.
It looks to me like there's two different parties, one from last night, and one from tonight. He picked Sarah to appease the right wing, and history will show whether that was a good choice or not.
Whats a POW?
