The convention has been brilliant.

Condi was magnificent.

Martinez also.

Rubio… Eastwood…

Ryan emerged as this generation’s Bobby Kennedy.

Romney speech brillinat. Heard it in the car. Of course the first pundit on ABC radio said it was an average speech. I thought his speech hit the ball out of the park.

The talent has been astonishing, hasn’t it? Romney is now running pro-Bain ads and that is exactly what he had to do.

They’ve struck an excellent tone at this convention; deliberately targeting the swinging voters who backed Obama in 2008.

“It’s okay to have voted obama in 2008, and it’s okay to admit you were wrong. He’s not a bad person, but a bad president. You put your faith in him, and he failed, and it’s okay to look at someone else now”

You know, the convention has really hit the right key i think. There’s no moralizing and it syncs exactly with what the broad voter is thinking and concerned about.

It was also good to see Rand Paul given a spot at the lecturn.

Romney is an extremist who wants to reduce the role of government , promote business, cut taxes and not kill babies. What a psycho.

Now he can start spending the funds raised for the Presidential Campaign (so Obama can no longer outspend the RNC by 4 to 1) you can bet they will be working hard to re-frame that and a few other stories.

It was also good to see Rand Paul given a spot at the lecturn.

Somehow back in 2009 I began following Rand Paul’s campaign after seeing him appear a few times on the early Freedom Watch internet show with Judge Napolitano. It was his platform that helped build a bridge I could walk right on over from being a disillusioned pop-leftist to the right.

He is more palatable than his father and has the just the right mix of libertarian and conservative principles to appeal to many.

Obama was the President America had to have. They needed to elect a black man to salve a century of shame and guilt over slavery. There were better qualified black men out there, but ” nobody ever spoke so beautifully”.

guilt over slavery?
I thought it was the Brits that took all the slaves to the US and I thought several, er … several tens of thousands of white soldiers died fighting for the Union wanting to, among other things, free the slaves. So having your sons and fathers die in the cause was not enough to alleviate the guilt of allowing the Brits vike practice to linger on.
If electing O’Bama is making amends then your looking at the wrong crime.

Lew, you’ve got to factor in that 98% of blacks who vote, vote Democrat. Obama was the first black man who appealed to the swinging whites.

Rice is a far superior politician (and human being) than BO. Would she have beat him? Don’t know. She wasn’t a candidate.

If you were a TRUE Libertarian you would accept the fact that Romney is very similar to Obama. As Obama has just about replicated many of Bush’s stupid policies. Someone said above “he has a nice mix of libertarian and conservatism” when this means he is a perversion of libertarianism (as is civil, or left-leaning, libertarianism). What departments are going to be shut down under Romney? What massive cuts are going to be made in government expenditure? What liberties are going to be re-enacted under Romney? Um….none! The Paul family was the only hope for the Republicans and the nation and we see what happens when you get in the way of “The Establishment:” They screw you over and change the rules.

Romney has been delivered as President by the elites already; it has been predestined as it was for Obama. But they are the same elites so nothing actually changes; its just shuffling deck-chairs.

“How DARE they attack Captain Wonderful with such big mean nasty insults!!!! How DARE THEY!?!?!?!?!”

Yet they seem quite happy to rubbish Eastwood, because he’s 82 and his speech was “rambling” and “sad”. And of course the accompanying photo was a shot of him when he reached up to scratch his head for theatrical effect. A great line from Eastwood : “politicians are our employees”. There will be some sweat drenched nickers in the White House.

Jc you forgot Solyndra – and all the other loan recipients that went belly-up just after taking the cash.

GM wipeout Mk2 is coming down the pike as well. The Obamamobile Volt has stopped production and even Governments + GE buying up all the inventory still hasn’t got demand going.

Why don’t they just subsidise a cut-price Corvette? They would sell by the truckload and get them votes. I mean, if you’re going to throw away billions, why not do it on something that will actually show a vote return on your money. The suckers who all bought the Volts are doing it out of devotion to the cause, not because they make economic sense. No votes in buying gifts for the converted.

Chris Matthews:

But there was stuff at the end that began to be very dark, very jingoistic, very anti-scientific, and, really, Know-Nothing. Attacking the President for his concern over climate change was, pretty much, a pretty bad line. I mean – should we be concerned about it or not – but to mock it by talking about him trying to raise – or keep the sea level from rising – making fun of that.

Lysander (or is it Graeme?),

You’re guy ran for president three (yes, three) times and each time he flopped miserably. This says a lot about his political instincts and his management abilities. How can a guy who runs for president three times be able to win in a general election? The answer is that he couldn’t.

In 2008, the guy supported third party nut bags that included socialists and communists (see here).

I could go on about the skeletons in the guy’s closet too but I’ve huffed and puffed about that here so many times that I’ve gotten asthma attacks.

Alex,

It fair enough to be critical of Lysander, so am I (JC post above is spot on)
However why have such an emotional rant about Paul in the process?
He is not perfect but he has been more successful than any other libertarian I know in running for major office.
He upsets some ‘Amercian Greatness’ type conservatives with his anti-war stances but so be it.
One link from the site you linked to:
“Paul will offer this open endorsement to the four candidates because each has signed onto a policy statement that calls for ?balancing budgets, bring troops home, personal liberties and investigating the Federal Reserve,? the Paul aide said”

Some rather unusual candidates signed, at least he is true to his word.

Zatara

31 Aug 12 at 4:52 pm
Richard, his supporters (and you do sound a bit like a supporter) are aggressive in their statements towards the more mainstream republicans and conservative types. I for one, have experienced some of their assaults and are damn sick of cynical people like Lysander who give their hero almost god-like status and abilities who think that just by putting him in power, they will get everything they want and that he won’t bend or compromise. When they’re in power, they will bend. You can’t bet your life on that. Rand Paul is at least somebody who understands this. I’m not saying you have to sacrifice one’s principles but you have to at least have some grasp of reality.

Second, why throw out everything you disagree with someone on, which could be about 90% of their positions in favor of the 10% which you do agree with them on? Just because a socialist supports balancing a budget doesn’t mean it is a good thing. What if he advocates raising the middle and top tax brackets to 80% to help balance the budget? That would be horrendous.

And when I say the guy has skeletons in his closet, I’m talking about those racist and nutty conspiracy newsletters he had written in his name back in the 80′s. Don’t give me any of this rubbish that he didn’t write them, I don’t think he did. But to have those in your past and to run against the first African American president is defeat before the battle has even begun.

The thing about Ron Paul is that he was never going to win the presidency, and I don’t think he ever believed he would. If you read his book – I did out of curiosity – it’s clear to me that he’s trying to start a new political movement more than trying to become the top guy.

On that score he’s done fantastically well. For a start, the average Ron Paul supporter is young, which is very important when it comes to the future of political parties. For a second, much of what he has been banging on about is gradually seeping into Republican policies.

The fact is the Romney/Ryan ticket is drastically different in approach, rhetoric and policies than the ’04 Bush Cheney ticket. Part of that is the creeping influence of Ron Paul and his supporters. Balancing the budget got a bit of air time under Bush, but nothing like it is getting with the Ryan plan. Similarly, I saw at the RNC that people are basically saying ‘bring troops home’. That is 180 degrees from the Bush/Cheney years. The times are different, but the policies are as well.

There is no victory in Afghanistan, save Bush’s original destruction of the Taliban as a de facto national government and the extermination of the remnant AQ-inspired terrorists.

Afghanistan was always a sideshow.

The major theatre was Iraq (won by Bush) – in conjunction with the global black war of attrition and assassination. Both strands of this war were won by the time Bush left office. There will still be Islamist attacks but the vision of a rolling pan-ummah asymmetrical jihad against the West is as dead as a doornail.

Havent heard Romney’s speech. However watched Clint Eastwood, thought, amazing there he is in his 80′s, looking fit, obviously had a bit of work on the face, that’s his business. The talking to an invisible Obama was pure theatre, unexpected in an American sense. Particularly at a large convention. No disrespect to the Americans, but they are not into, mmmm shall I say such subtlty (cant spell, late at night). I have never or was never keen to see him in his film roles, that speech made me see something more there. Fantastic.

I thought the tone of the convention was very positive. Romney is trying to be the “optimist” that Obama won as 4 years ago, but a realistic optimist instead of promising the world. Obama’s tone has become much less optimistic, in part to try and minimise his failures, I think. I could appreciate most of what Romney said, it had feeling. Until he got started on foreign policy. Even if you agree with his foreign policy I think that part of his speech ran contrary to the tone of the rest of it.

I also loved Rand Paul’s speech. I think the Paul movement really is a slow boil. Eventually that frog is gonna be cooked though and no-one will even realise how it happened. Start a movement with a radical and have a perfect transition into a moderate that still actually gets an invitation. Yet if you hear the content of what Rand said… It’s barely any different from his dad.

I thought it was the Brits that took all the slaves to the US

At the time, the British were busy prosecuting a vigorous littoral campaign against black and Arab slavers, and with the authorisation of Abraham Lincoln would go on to detain US-flagged ships to that end. They may have brought the slaves to the US in the first place, but nobody made more effort over a longer period to bring it to an end. Nobody.

There will still be Islamist attacks but the vision of a rolling pan-ummah asymmetrical jihad against the West is as dead as a doornail.

The end result of the “Arab Spring” may yet give this a new launching pad. I wouldn’t start celebrating just yet.

More on topic for this thread in general, I’ve seen people elsewhere on the internet gobsmacked by the idea of how black people (including Condi Rice) could possibly throw their lot in with the GOP, and talking as if black Republicans are trapped in some sort of brainwashed state that they haven’t woken up from yet. The word “denial” is actively used.

Their thinking is “You’re black, you’re female, you’re smart and successful; how can you possibly back Romney-Ryan?”

Of course they miss the point that it was the racist misogynist Bushitler (/sarc) who made her Secretary of State in the first place (and Colin Powell before her).

Obama was the President America had to have. They needed to elect a black man to salve a century of shame and guilt over slavery.

And so they elected a black man whose father was not American, whose mother was white, and who thus has no direct descent from any of those slaves. Way to go, fucking morons.
