August 31, 201214 yr First impression from Rubio is he's got the "Presidential" feel and appearance to him.
August 31, 201214 yr The CNN article BGC linked shows that Mr Ryan struggles with the truth which is disappointing. He was acclaimed as an expert and a straight shooter. He hasn't shown that yet. I am not sure what 'untruth' he told. Obama was at the plant, campaigned there and even implied he knew what was coming to that specific plant. At least in the speech Ryan did not blame Obama for the specific cirmcumstance. It was personalizing the massive loss of jobs the country has had.

August 31, 201214 yr Play Misty For Us:irked: I guess they are trying to get Ronald Reagan back on the horse in a Rawhide Remake?:eek: Clint I was told vted for the one Republican candidate that reminds me of Mitt ... Thomas Dewey:sssh:
August 31, 201214 yr She had an interview with Greta shortly after all the speeches were finished & I was even more impressed with that. That was the best part of the night. Greta had zero answer to Rice. It was awesome. She was hoping to give her a double talking, trip you up question, and she just couldn't come up with one. Loved , loved , loved every second of that very special moment that no one else will ever see because it will never be shown again. It just showed what a big baffoon Greta is. Go Condy, Go Condy :banana::banana:
August 31, 201214 yr All that MSMBC has to talk about is Eastwood. Classic. Thay can't say anything bad about Rubio or Romney. Felt sorry for them Wednesday because they couldn't say anything bad about any of the speakers so tonight they got a bone. Actually loved Eastwood.
August 31, 201214 yr Author Mark Cuban sums it up pretty well and this applies to every convention. Mark Cuban @mcuban Thanks for the mention @CNBC but Larry is absolutely right. Us independents wanted to know specifics. We didn't get them.
August 31, 201214 yr Author I am not sure what 'untruth' he told. Obama was at the plant, campaigned there and even implied he knew what was coming to that specific plant. At least in the speech Ryan did not blame Obama for the specific cirmcumstance. It was personalizing the massive loss of jobs the country has had. Fact Check: Paul Ryan's Claim About GM Plant: Video - Bloomberg Again, if we have to nitpick and parse words it's clear that he was being disingenuous. Also, he is saying that Medicare recipients are going to lose benefits. People who look at say that the ones who will have cuts are the hospitals that provide coverage. In addition, his OWN plan assumes the same cuts. Again, intentionally (I say that because I think he's very smart) misleading. Simpson Bowles: Mr Ryan said the committee returned an urgent report (implying it was good and should be acted upon) but the POTUS ignored. it. He DIDN'T say that he voted against the report. Sure, he can wiggle out of that with an explanation but if you have to wiggle out you're not being upfront and not being a straight shooter. We can't hold the guy up as a future leader when he is no better than the others we complain about for being loose with the facts. Edited August 31, 201214 yr by Clyde
August 31, 201214 yr Author First impression from Rubio is he's got the "Presidential" feel and appearance to him. I didn't get to see him last night but I've heard a lot of people say he was great last night. What was it about him that gave you the "presidential" feel?
August 31, 201214 yr Author I saw a tweet this morning that made me laugh. It has do with the stereotype of a R. Remember, we can all laugh at ourselves occasionally. Exavier Pope @exavierpope Clint Eastwood summed up the #RNC perfectly: An old crotchety rich white man fighting against an imaginary black threat.
