LOL, Eastwood pulled off an inside job. CAN YOU SAY MOMENTUM KILLER. Go job Clint, you made my day.
Momentum killer? What speech were YOU watching?
If you even THINK about voting for obama after watching Romney's speech.....I feel very sorry for you. You have a problem thinking rationally.
Here is Barack Obama's Main Accomplishments
Barack Obama's Main Accomplishments:
Signed the National Defence Authorization Act (NDAA) Bill into Law allowing any US citizen to Be Detained WITHOUT trial (A federal Court Blocked it in May because it Violates the Constitution, but Obama is not trying to get it UNBLOCKED!).
He has Killed HUNDREDS of Innocent people (Including 3 American Citizens) in Pakistan and Yemen with Drone Strikes (He’s Ordered even more drone strikes than Bush!).
The rate of National Debt under George Bush was Around $60 Billion a Month. Under Obama, it’s been $190 Billion a Month, so that would be Nearly $600 Per US Citizen (Thanks Obama!).
Obama Care: Page 22. MANDATES, The Government will Audit Book of ALL Employers who Self Insure. Page 50, Section 152, Health Care WILL be Provided to ALL Non US Citizens, Illegal or otherwise. Page 126, Lines 22-25, Employers Must Pay for Their Part time Employees Health Care AND Their Families. Page 127, Lines 1-16, The Government WILL Tell you How much Money you can Make.
Obama has By-passed Congress to Enable the DREAM Act (Unconstitutional to By-Pass Congress, and the Illegals he allowed to become Legal Citizens has Committed over 19 Murders and Over 142 Sex crimes).
Obama Claims he Campaigned in 57 States (Maybe he wasn’t Born in this Country?).
Bush was horrible, but not as bad as Obama, Romney will be about the Same. Both Parties (Republicans and Democrats) have done Enough. Lets Replace them with Third Parties like the Libertarian party and Green Party.
It appears that Clint Eastwood has dementia. How sad to put him on display like this!
Where's Waldo, I mean where was George Bush during the convention? They had him hidden away, the one whose mess candidate Romney or President Obama will trying to clean up next term. The Republicans got religion now and have gone back to their so-called roots of fiscal conservatism, small government, laissez faire, but during the Bush Administration it was a free-for-all. Where was the fiscal conservatism of starting 2 unfunded wars, swelling the size of government and selling off half the county to the Chinese government and silencing any talk about balancing the budget. Romney will be no different from his silver spoon predeccessor; his mantra will be Bush's old mantra, keep the wealthy from paying taxes and keep the middle-class and poor begging for the scraps from their table.
Still blaming Bush. Pathetic. I guess everything that is bad in Obama's life, or the lives of the Demoncraps can be linked to some fault of Bush. What a bunch of garbage. The paperboy throw my paper in the flowerbed. Damn Bush! Partly cloudy today. Damn Bush! The girl at the club wouldn't give me her number. Damn Bush!
Mitt's life wasn't so easy!
He actually had to pull himself up by his chauffeur's boot straps!

He had to be drunk!
Rubio, Clint, and especially Romney were all at the top of their game tonight. Excellent momentum builder for the rest of the campaign. Very nicely done all around.
Waht has happened to intelligence, it has taken back seat
The MSNBC announcers just do not get it. Clint Eastwood was great...he stated what most Americans think. It is time to let President Obama GO! President Obama does not recognize success in any aspect of American life and that most people want their kids to succeed by educating themselves, working, and not counting on the government to support them and keep them in poverty and in need of the government to give them handouts. America and the people who came to American were independent, hard-working people and who value success in their family life, in their work, and in America...and not dependent on government and hand-outs!
Silly , the man in his dotage, it was disgraceful to see the past actor looking haggard his hair was like a bag of wheat and stuttering all over the place . Those speeches were filled with 'I's , no meat the focus was not on Romney they did him a disservice. Sure as hell they could do better. Mrs Romney was the best thing to have happened bless her heart.
Clint Eastwood was perfect in his depiction Of President O. An empty chair, full of empty promises. Four years of blaming the other guy, but offering no real fixes for the problems we face.
Does it occur to Republicans that their Senate Leader Mitch McConnell said on day one, "We can't allow this man to succeed." What red blooded American doesn't want a newly elected American President to succeed, shame on Mitch McConnell, this is the leader of the opposition party? gatheThe leadership in the republican party red one mile from where the new President was taking the oath of office and their top leader made sure they voted no on legislation even if they co-wrote the stuff they took , simply because Obama agreed to it, you can't lie about that, it is a matter of record. The tea party even advocates NOT COMPRIMISING on anything the democrats propose, even at the expense of all middle class parties...regardless of party- I'm 62 years old I grew up in middle class Ohio, I could not tell a Republican from a Democrat most of the time cause usually there was only 10 percent difference in their beliefs-extreme is what Hitler's party was, often referred to as the right wing of the German political parties, extreme right is not good, serves the selfrighteous real well but who else. Sad we collectively can't sort out the differences between extreme right and the right to moderate thinking souls, hell I know more moderate thinking Democrats than I do so called Liberal Democrats....
I said it before, Pay backs a bitch, and no matter what, unless the Republicans can have the necessary numbers elected in the house and senate the Republicans will not succeed in the future. Do these Right Far Right, Tea party Right know they are wrecking their own chances for success, cause the numbers look like the senate will hold in favour of Democrats and if the Dems take the house back- well you do the math....and if by some voter fix the Repubs pull it off and Romney wins, wow, do you think the Democratic House and Democratic Senate are going to have a love in for Mitt and give him what the extreme right wing haters want...oh...right winger did that obvious observation cross your Rush Limbaugh thinks for me brain...
Many other Presidents had to work with a Congress and Senate of the opposite party. But the key word here is "work WITH" Obama never tried to work with Congress. It was always his arrogance and "my way or the highway" attitude. Always I WANT, I DID, I I I I I There is not a humble bone in the POTUS's body. He is so full of himself that nothing is ever his fault. Also, he hates successful people...because he is such a failure himself.
Romney/Ryan 2012
Barrack Obama has one agenda, the same agenda he talks about in his book, Dreams from my Father. The best thing all you Democrat Yippies (phrase my Grandfather who lived to 94 coined, I assume it is a hippy that grew up to be a yuppy) can do is go see 2016themovie.com, at least then you will have some idea of what Obama is really doing in the big picture. Then again, you probably think it is a good thing.
Remember this, the majority of Americans did not want Obamacare!! Remember this, not one Repubican voted for Obamacare, which happens to effect one sixth of our economy. Remember this Obama did not allow the minority party at the time (Republicans) present one idea on Obamacare, not one! When one sixth of our economy is effected not allowing the other party to participate in it, that is shameful! Obama is an egotistical and narcisstic boy man. His father did not like this country, as written in Obama's own book. Obama has way too many questions about his youth, where did he get his money to travel the world, go to Harvard, etc. etc. He was a indulged cocaine snorting youth! When his pastor of 20 years say's "GD America!" you'd think some of high IQ Obama lovers would wake up. It amazing what people over look, even when in their gut they know the voted for the slouch. Oh incidentally, he gets to work about 9 o'clock, Bush at least got to work by 7 o'clock.
Romney/Ryan = VOUCHERCARE. Deal with it
you got it right buddy
The speeches tonight were again on target. President Obama's lack of leadership has come to the fore front at this convention. President Obama made huge promises to the American people that he could in no way, shape or form, ever have the ability to achieve. In the last four years we have been hit hard by downsizing. We've lost our homes, and a normal way of life. I hold President Obama responsible. He has caused fear in the work place. The banks don't want to loan money for fear of a depression. Businesses are afraid to hire for fear that big government will come in and force their regulations on them. He and his cronies have caused undue racial and economical tension in this country. Like never before, people believe that they are owed something for nothing. The men and women who have succeeded in their businesses and occupations do not owe the rest of America anything. We have become a greedy nation, only worried about taking from some in order that they won't have to work as hard, or even at all. I refuse to become dependant upon our government for my existance. Welfare was designed to help on the short term, not for people to make their living from it. Instead of crying that the rich have it all, get off your butts and work hard to achieve the same success. It's time for a change, if not this country will perish. If the United States of American turns its back on the Nation of Israel, we will reap the wrath of God. Wake up American, Obama had his chance and he blew, it's time for a change.
The liberal media is already all over what was said tonight. They don't want the same things that a majority of America wants. With the liberals its freedom of choice, as long as you choose their way of thinking. I will not have the likes of Chris Matthews or Rachel Maddow, and the rest of them telling me how I should think. I am sick of the obvious bias they vocalize on a daily basis. They think we are stupid. We're not stupid, we see what's going on and we are going to put a stop to it. President Obama should have stayed home and done his job, instead of jet setting with his friends and constituents all over the world. It's time for a change.
My vote will be against Obama and Claire McCaskill (D-MO). You work for me and I am firing you in November. Of course it won't hurt you, because you both are a part of the 1%. You are both millionaires. You should have given your salaries to help pay down the national debt, along with all the other rich legislatures in Washington. It's called public service for a reason. You haven't helped us live a better life, you keep taxing us out the wazoo. Yet you allowed this great nation to flounder deeper and deeper into debt. Same on you! We need a change.
Change is a comin'. The Obama's can have their George Clooney's and all the other liberal stars in Hollywood. We have the straight shooting, straight talking Clint Eastwood. You think he was rambling, not so, he knew exactly what he was doing and saying. He too is sick of watching the US crumble under bad leadership. We all are. IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE!!
Beachlover411...........couldn't of said it better myself !!!! :)
We know what we want for the Country and we know what's necessary. Sorry Mr. President- come November, Your Fired! Unfortunately that is what happens in the "Real World" when you don't create good results on the job. We need to hold these government officials to the same standards that we the people experience in the private sector.
Where is Waldo, I mean where was George Bush, the Republican leader whose administration was responsible for grinding our economy to a halt? The Republicans got religion now and have gone back to their so called roots of fiscal responsibility, small government, laissez faire. Funny how Republicans were not shouting to the rafters about these policies when the Bush Administration had 2 unfunded wars raging, a government that had swollen twice the size it had been 8 years prior and a country they had hocked to the Chinese. Romney will be no better than his silver spoon Republican predecessor; they both believe that the rich should bear no tax burden and that the middle-class and poor should feed from the scraps of their table.
You are a moron, we all pay the same tax rates for the same class of income.
The Dummiescrats never look at things in any real depth. Yes presidents are important, but they are not the only ones causing the problems. Bush had the other party's in control of the House and Senate for most of his time in office. It started in Clinton's time, pushing the banks to give mortgages to people who could not afford them and they kept it up until the housing bubble exploded. I do think there is enough blame to go around, but Obama should have things turning around much better than he is at the end of his first term. The office of president is not the time to have a novice at the helm. How he ever got elected with so little job experience is absolutely amazing to me! Like Clint Eastwood said "It was something to cry with Oprah and others beside the Greek columns when Obama was nominated in 2007, but having 23 million Americans out of a work is really something to cry about!"
What a beautiful moment in America's history was played out tonight at the Republican convention. Mitt Romney's speech was heartfelt, engaging and electrifying. Marco Rubio's introductory speech was one of the finest ever given. The American people were shown a clear choice and offered a future of hope and prosperity with Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan at the helm. Tonight we were fortunate to observe a peek of America's finest. Everyone who witnessed this monumental moment should have been inspired, uplifted and gratified that such a remarkably qualified, brilliant and decent man would desire to bless America with his leadership skills and capabilities. Surely there is no greater patriot. May God bless Mitt Romney for his goodness and his desire to set America on the path to economic recovery and greatness. In my humble opinion, he is the best that America could possibly offer. God bless the U.S.A.!
NewsBusters: NBC News Doesn't Consider Thursday Evening Speech by Staples Founder All That 'Notable'
Romneys speech was the worst I've ever seen in 60 years'very unprofessional.
He fell short by those dagger throwing remarks about the President and could'nt
even pull that off without looking stupid.He made it clear that he would have
already ATTACKED IRAN and started another war to drive the
deficit up to match Bushes 6,8 trillion. The Republicans are always quick to
jump into war without using up all of the diplomatic channels.
The bold statement that Obama hasn't kept all his promises was total
bunk for everything Obama has tried to do was
GRIDLOCKED BY ROMNEYS REPUBLICANS.A vote for Romney will be a vote to
start another war with Iran.
And your solution is to allow them to acquire an offensive Nuclear ability, because their regime is just SOOOO stable. Is that it?
It's people like you who have this country in the trouble it's in. How you could ever say such vile things about Mitt's speech is ....... well inconceivable and quite frankly ignorant. You're a hater, not a good citizen.
Mitt's life wasn't so easy!
He actually had to pull himself up by his chauffeur's boot straps!

You have not included all the speeches that were significant. Please add this content so your readers get the full story. Women and minorities have not been covered appropriately. Please be more inclusive.
When Obama says everyone should pay their fair share, I think... "Yes, you are right. Every person should pay at least $10 into the treasury every year." NO ONE gets a free ride. That's right and that's fair.
Hey NBC, where is the Jane Edmonds speech. Or did her speech deflate the myth that Rep are racists.
Folks go to You Tube and do a search for Jane Edmonds Speech. I thought it was one of the best, period.
If any of you happened to flip around the channels while the RNC Convention was going on it became glaring obvious that MSNBC is so totally bias, it should never say it's a news organization. It did not show most of the minority speakers (women and non-whites). I believe Condi Rice was absolutely amazing. Her speech was truly from a person who loves this country. She definitely would be a better president than any of the men that have held the office, since Reagan. A highly articulate, intelligent and beautiful person, who just happens to be black. Being a certain color does not make a person, and I'm just a bit worn out by the left continually throwing the race card out there. If anyone being racistic it's those that continually bring it up when there really is no basis for it. The Republicans have elected more minorities to governorships and congressional seats than Democrats. Go Mitt! Go Ryan!
