Yeah. Media spin will play a big role in this. Obama picks Biden, "it was a smart move, brought a man with a lot of political conviction to the table, someone with real experience." McCain picks Palin, "it was a calculated move, he's definitely going after votes." No shit. They're both going after votes. So this could get played off as a gimmick.

Not to point out the obvious, but the RNC != 'the government'.


^^ Part of me wants to say that Michael Moore is as shallow and crass as he is fat. Then again, I'm moderately ashamed to admit that one of my reactions was, "if the Bush administration and FEMA handle this well, it could wipe some of tarnish of the Republican label, then again it could help the Democrat Party by stealing TV face time." Politics is a fucked up game isn't it? It really has nothing to do with issues, just impressions.

hey look here's a good representation of the democratic party (from DNC Convention this year)

8/31/2008 4:20:57 PM

^ They look like righteous dudes to me. I'd share a bowl of arugula with the pair.

8/31/2008 4:26:20 PM

^^ what party are you a good representation of

bigots, usa?

8/31/2008 4:37:12 PM

Why would you represent the DNC convention as watermelon and black dudes? You guys are fucking idiots.

8/31/2008 4:38:26 PM

^^i don't recall him being a democrat. you know, those people always making fun of those evil rednecks.

^maybe because someone else represented the RNC as a bunch of geriatrics. geez. Your partisan blinders must be on in full force today.<--

gay minorities specifically

i dunno why, maybe because its about as retarded a stereotype as saying the rnc is elderly white people sleeping??

Uh you guys do know HockeyRoman's picture isn't a photoshop right

glad to see the MSM is furthering the loony-left's portrayal of McCain as an aging geriatric. Fairness Doctrine what?

8/31/2008 4:57:49 PM

Because McCain certainly isn't aging

8/31/2008 4:59:15 PM

glad to see you missed the point

8/31/2008 4:59:46 PM

^^^^fair enough...i figured the way his hands were postured he wouldve dropped it if he had fallen asleep

anyway the important part was the "good representation of the republican party" aspect...they're all elderly white people from iowa who fall asleep!

You might want to stop speaking truth to these guys. It obviously confuses them.

^ Also that the RNC and the republican party as a whole are one giant snoozefest.

lol, the last series of posts are hilarious. You can even see in the background where someone else is holding a similar sign. Usually photoshops don't go into that level of detail.

Dude, are you watching the RNC? Its so quiet you can hear a pin drop. It looks like an AARP meeting and has the diversity of a Mormon church. If half place can even stay alive long enough to vote in November, I would be surprised.

PAUL, Minnesota (CNN) – Republican National Committee co-chair Jo Ann Davidson mistakenly referred to the party's presumptive vice-presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, as "Sarah Pawlenty" at the Republican National Convention Tuesday. Palin, the governor of Alaska, was a surprise choice to join Sen. John McCain on the Republican ticket. Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty had been considered one of the front-runners for the slot."

"Bush touts McCain's service to country in speech via satellite"
Guess that didn't want him there in person?

9/2/2008 10:06:45 PM

Ok I was watching this on PBS and saw Bush's speech live, then decided to switch to the networks just tuning in and I think they did a disservice to Bush because it made him look silly taking pauses in his speech which were actually applause that was occurring in the convention center. It came across better when it occurred live.

9/2/2008 10:08:56 PM

They followed his speech by a tribute to Reagan, in an attempt to mitigate the damage of an unpopular sitting president with one that wasn't universally hated. The damage is already done.

Dear Republicans,

Thank you so much for this lifeless, depressing, uninspiring, and moderately disturbing republican convention.

This really helps our chances in November.

Thanks again!

The Democrats

9/2/2008 10:23:14 PM

Dear Democrats,

Thanks for having a Fancy set are you running for President or American Idol

Thanks for acting like it has to be a Hollywood Party.

Thanks to the MSM for not really giving fair coverage to both debates. Contantly critcizing everything the GOP doesn't work.

When half the Barry Clones realize the Obama has not said anything other than I will tax Business and the Rich increase handouts to the lazy and welfare abusers. And that McCain is a Bush clone.

Thank you For handing the Republican Party the Presidency again

God I've tried watching tonight and it's just AWFUL. The room is devoid of any energy, the camera pans across only old boss hog looking dudes and the speakers are flat and terrible.

Lieberman? Bush? lol

Thompson was good

9/2/2008 10:59:56 PM

Yeah that's true, at least he had some presentation skills and personality...

You are kidding yourself if you didn't think he knocked that out of the park.

OK..umm, if in your speeches you like to be reminded a thousand times that McCain was a POW (Like we already DONT KNOW THAT ONE), twisting and spinning Obama's stance on abortion, and reminding the wealthy crowd that the scary dems are going to raise your taxes. In fact it's misleading, 90% of tax brackets get a cut that's far more from Obama's proposals....and the middle class are main benefactors (despite the spin).


That's about all that was there. And Fred you're dead wrong...Bush DOES need to apologize to this country.

9/2/2008 11:11:58 PM

^^haha

9/2/2008 11:13:57 PM

don't a lot of republicans disapprove of bush's job as president (at least on some level). i mean if only like, what, 30% of americans still give him a positive approval rating are we supposed to assume that only 30% of america is republican? or do some republicans actually disapprove of bush?

hmmmm.

9/2/2008 11:17:30 PM

you mean repubs like chuck hagel?

9/2/2008 11:19:23 PM

obama is such a joke. why do people get so excited over the notion of change? america is still the greatest nation on earth. the economy was doing great about a year ago so its not like bush has led us through 8 years of economic depression. we dont need a commie to come in and seriously fuck things up just because we are going through normal economic cycles.

i think they've hit that point dead on.
