All the gop rnc accomplished last week was telling the president to go fuck himself

[Philosoraptor]

Through a senile old man talking to an empty chair. This is literally all they've got.

1. Where as with the opening night of the Democratic convention

we get a sense of where the Dems want to take us, unlike the pukies. Whoever votes for the pukes are voting in the dark as they didn't give any reason for the season if you get my drift and I know you do.

2. In fact the Chair/Clint told Romney

to go cheney himself.

3. Not true

Clint Eastwood told Romney to go fuck himself but made everyone believe it was the empty chair that said it. Even some Democrats still believe that.

Think about it.

4. I believe you're right.

Eastwood is actually not a big GOP guy...he's more of a Ron Paul supporter. Considering what the GOP did to the Paulistas, it is certainly more than a little plausible that Clint had an underlying message. Especially when you consider his best shots were actually against Romney and not Obama. I think he punked everybody.

5. I don't think so.

I can't buy that this was some subtle and elaborate prank on Romney. Eastwood comes out and does a Mel Gibson on his own career and legacy for the sake of a gag that ninety percent of the people watching couldn't tell if it was a gag or not? This was an 82-year-old Republican doing this, not Andy Kaufman.

6. I was a very subtle prank but it was also simplicity itself

Nothing elaborate about it at all. You just fell for it is all.

7. So...

In 12 minutes Eastwood deliberately destroyed the image he'd built over decades in the movies and wrote his own epitaph as "Crazy Old Coot Who Talks to Chair," all for the sake of this subtle prank which only a few liberals got? Don't get me wrong, I love that he upstaged Romney, I love that he got this audience of hardcore Republicans to applaud (twice!) the ending of the war they started, I love that he made the RNC look even more clownish than it already did. I just don't think it was deliberate.
