1. The President did the same with Biden! However, the President

immediately corrected his slip. CNN had the clip this morning.

[rocktivity]

2. But unlike Rommey, Obama wasn't averaging a gaffe a day

THAT'S what's newsworthy about what Romney did, and CNN knows it.

7. So true. I only pointed it out because the opposition will. nt

3. The soaring music

and grand entrance didn't help. Unbelievable.

4. did they hire a symphony orchestra? they've sure got the theatrics down. eom

[SunSeeker]

13. And the military backdrop. Sheesh. People are SICK of war. nt

21. talk about being photo'd at Kmart with fake props - neither fit that scene

May as well have had George Bush there with his little Johnny Retro Space Suit on to play with the rest of them. It so reeked of 'fake' that it reinforced Romney's negative image as a mechanical prop vs a real candidate that it must've backfired in the minds of independent voters who really do see through this kind of PROPaganda.

23. I think you are right about that, and sick about the middle class giving their sons and daughters to

fight while Paul Ryan uses their ship as a prop for pageantry... I wonder how many wives, mothers, daughters and sons have lost a family member actually serving their country while Romney and Ryan did the college thing, and then had their families set them up to never ever have to use their own actual labor to make money... And I think people are sick of the status quo using them as a piggy bank too..

5. Gaffe? Or next Cheney? nt

6. Unlike President Obama, Romney meant what he said: If this ticket is elected, Ryan will be

Romney's Dick Cheney. Norquist called it: "...we just need someone with enough working digits to sign whatever we put in front of him".

10. Exactly

Romney is only CEO. He doesn't get involved in the details, he leaves
those to his Chief Operating Office, or Accountant, in this case Ryan.

8. So it will be Ryan / Palin after the Convention, Rmoney will step out.

[rocktivity]

9. In which case I will apologize to Romney for defining this as a gaffe

retroactively.

12. separated at birth in that pic. Glad that could find some nice white people to stand behind them.

Wow.. pretty diverse. NOT.

15. The little girl by Ryan's leg with the flower in her hair...

... she looks like, WTF am I doing here? Daddy, this is child abuse!

14. They should send the USS Wisconsin to the Strait of Hormuz right now.

With all those flag wavers and Politicians. Let them pimp War with Iran from there on Patrol.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

16. "Iran"? These assholes want to go to war with China.

They figure it'll not only show them who's boss but we won't have to pay them back the money they loaned us.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

17. I didn't know Ryan was a little thick in the middle until this.

He's got a little pudge goin' for him.

19. if you keep the sound off and look real hard at their mouths- they're saying...

@ 1:30 Ryan turns from staring into bleachers: "Wow! Hey- "

@ 1:37 Ryan points back full-arm toward the bleachers: "... and right in front of the cameras we have a black couple, huh?!?!"

@ 1:46 Romney dashes back up to the podium: "Hold on, hold on... Every now and then I'm known to make a mistake- I did NOT make a mistake with THAT guy... but I can tell you the Koch Brothers PAID their thickets to stand there!"

[tomm2thumbs]

22. OMG - people must watch the crowd with the sound off - NOTHING

there is no enthusiasm, and I think I even see a guy waving a flag trying to REMIND people on the ship to wave their flag too, like the drum major trying to get everyone to follow him.

Watch with no sound and just FEEL the love... that ain't there.

20. given Extremists in the Right Wing, I'd say Romney may be prophetic

These are nuts that would take out an abortion doctor because they think God wanted them to. It would not surprise me if they think they have been told other things by God about mormons, or other folks that they would act on. And let's face it, these folks blend in with 'that crowd'.

There are a lot of option for the nuts in the Right wing and it scares me to think what they are capable of at this point with what you see on the internet and FoxNews.
