Hey, gotta hand it to him for his Veep pick, at least.

[nolabear]

3. Oh hell it's McCain and I have to go.

Complain for me, will you?

[steve2470]

4. they sure are lukewarm as hell about Romney nt

[Wednesdays]

6. Exactly. You'd think it was McLame who's the nominee

[steve2470]

7. amazing how little they mention Romney nt

[rbrnmw]

[cali]

10. McCain: Them ferriners aren't threatened enough by Amurikka

trashing Obama for "leaking secrets"

fuckwad

[nc4bo]

11. Lord know I can't stand McGrumpy but he can give a decent speech

unlike those other jackasses who spoke last night.

After all that - STFU Johnny - you still lost and your VP pick was a FAIL.

[redwitch]

19. Johnny wants to go to war with Iran

I sure am glad they shortened their convention by a day, I've already had enough.

[nc4bo]

21. You'd think after all he's been through, he'd be extremely anti-war.

Instead he's stuck in war mongering mode.

[factsarenotfair]

12. McCain is attacking our Commander in Chief during a time of war.

Has that been done before during a convention?

[steve2470]

13. Big whopper lie: Obama doing nothing to prevent cuts to defense nt

[cali]

14. McCain: We need more wars.

[nc4bo]

18. Yep as do the two dimwits he's supporting. nt

[NYC_SKP]

15. What the HELL is this old dude rambling on about????

Iran????

Fucking shut the hell up, asshole.

[steve2470]

16. McSame sure is bloodthirsty, classic example of old man sending young people into battle nt

[JBoy]

17. Obama didn't nuke Iran. Fail.

[cali]

20. McCain dog whistles: Our President is not being true to our values

[steve2470]

23. +1 nt

[Lucy Goosey]

22. Four more wars! Four more wars! Four more wars!

Whatever, old man.

[factsarenotfair]

24. I thought I'd heard everything from the Republicans, but this is shocking.

Obama has done an excellent job internationally and McCain is painting it as total failure. Wow, he has totally destroyed his last shred of honor.

[cali]

26. It is shocking.

and welcome to DU!

[factsarenotfair]

28. It's good to be here. :) n/t

pathetic play for Jewish votes. sickening.

[jsmirman]

72. This Jew says Fuck You

[factsarenotfair]

30. Chris Matthews on McCain: "This was a frightening, frightening speech."

I couldn't agree more.

[pinto]

35. Agree. (nt)

[adigal]

43. Thank god for Matthews this week

A sane, rational voice with lots of experience. I love Rachel, but Matthews has been doing this a long time, and is just dumbfounded by these republicans today.

[Terra Alta]

31. enough about Israel already

I live in America, not Israel. I want to know what these two fools will do for my own country, not a country I'll likely never visit.

[cali]

32. The house band is decent. they should be ashamed of playing this sick gig.

[Xipe Totec]

33. I sayeth onto thee, gageth me with thy silver spoon nt

[trailmonkee]

34. GOP idea of foreign policy.... hump the leg of israel? leaving a big mess for the rest of us...

[cali]

38. no. ryan tonight. mittkins tomorrow.

[steve2470]

40. thanks ! nt

[trailmonkee]

37. its like get-up-and-stretch-time at bingo night...

[nc4bo]

39. So - 3 more wars. Where's the money going to come from? Where's the manpower going to come from?

We can't properly take care of the veterans from the previous wars, what about that little inconvenient fact?

Fuck that. No more wars, death, destruction. If Mccain wants to fight some more wars, he and his sons along with Romney and Ryan's sons and daughters can have at it.

[steve2470]

41. more deficit lies..... from Rep. Rodgers nt

[Terra Alta]

42. Now we have some Sarah Palin clone

[steve2470]

45. Bondi and Olens about Obamacare, geez people give it up nt

[steve2470]

Don't have a dump truck biggest enough for the load coming out of these elephants.

[cali]

48. Bondi and Olens: We prevailed at the SC

[trailmonkee]

49. ok, Im turning it... its like watching snot dry... and I am pretty sure it is damaging my soul...

[ProSense]

50. Ron Paul Delegates Stage Walkout At Convention

Ron Paul Delegates Stage Walkout At Convention

Upset over the RNC's primary rules, dozens of Ron Paul delegates and supporters walked out of the Republcian convention on Wednesday chanting "As Maine goes so goes the nation!" a reference to demands that Paul delegates from Maine be seated in place of Romney supporters who replaced them.

http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/ron-paul-delegates-stage-walkout-at-convention

[nc4bo]

54. Ouch. nt

[A-Schwarzenegger]

52. This atty gen guy looks like the liar guy on SNL.

That's the ticket.

[spanone]

53. hey m$nbc, get newt the fuck out of here or i'm changing channels...

fuck that guy

[JBoy]

55. His forced smile is hilarious.

Like he's having a prostate exam - on the teeter-totter between pleasure and pain.

[bushisanidiot]

65. It's like he's proud of still having all his teeth.

Gotta show em off!

[reformist2]

56. They actually have an issue they can win on points, but it's just too convoluted.

The Obama team needs to be careful here, making sure people don't see Obamacare as a big tax increase.

[Wednesdays]

75. Hear hear

[steve2470]

57. oh the stealing from Medicare lie by Bondi nt

[Gregorian]

58. I've decided to watch Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde instead.

The Spencer Tracy version.

Although I'm sure the convention is much scarier

[steve2470]

59. I can't take the lies any more, peace out everyone nt

[nc4bo]

60. Classic hold up that Xian plastic cross and wave that Made In China flag crap.....

That was craptastic!

[fried eggs]

61. "Or the world will grow darker and poorer..." - McCain

(I'm running behind you guys)

[bushisanidiot]

62. Giving a closeted gay republican a prime time speaking spot

Doesnt count as being inclusive. Sorry, rnc.

[underpants]

63. Pam "did you see my boobs?" Bondi and the blonde John Lovitz were flat out READING the teleprompter

[nc4bo]

64. sigh.........they have love affairs with the strangest objects.

That coming from a party that ragged Obama over his use of it.

indeed.

[DonCoquixote]

66. Thank you John McCain

Forreminding me that, as much as I have been angry at Obama, I am glad YOU ARE NOT PRESIDENT!

[elleng]

67. They appear to have a really lousy 'stable' of speech-writers

for the convention, and they're all the same LOUSY.

[wordpix]

68. Rob Portman (R-OH) - story about his dad starting a business

Father said he doesn't know if he'd risk starting a biz today.

And that's all O's fault!

[RZM]

69. Portman's speech was lame

Quite snooze-inducing.

[David Zephyr]

70. I have not watched one hour of the GOP convention.

I've watched some of the post-chatter, but I'm just not going to watch them mastubate with my own eyes. To quote Barbara Bush: "why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"

[AlinPA]

78. I have watched zero minutes of the RNC garbage. These threads are good, though.

[David Zephyr]

79. The threads are great. I don't have to endure the spectacle.

I'm too old and my heart can't take watching the fascist theater.

[adigal]

71. Jan Brewer, Arizona, looks sick, really. she looks like she has a terminal disease

She is really corpse-like. She spouts hatred, though, so maybe that is eating at her soul?

[Thrill]

73. Ryan is going to have to save the night for the GOP

Terrible night today

[Terra Alta]

74. Pawlenty opens up by slamming Obama

now... who is their candidate again?

[Wednesdays]

76. Kicking

I'll start a new thread in a moment.

[jsmirman]

77. Ryan just opened with a sentence that isn't a sentence

The convention supports the vice-presidency???
