This is the place to talk all about the 2008 Republican Convention! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Monday is a good da for them to have Cheney and Bush talk. A lot of people will be having cookouts, driving home from the long weekend, and will miss it. Actually perfect timing for them to talk. The rove machine seems to have a pretty good handle on the timing thing. Palin the morning after the messiah speaks, and now the messiah wasn't barely a 2 sentence blurb the next day on all the TV stations. Bush/Cheney when a large portion of the country can't/won't watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 McCain's walker wouldn't fit thru the columns Yea. If TV was around in the 30's, FDR wouldn't have stood a chance of getting elected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Syracuse Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Nice to see the the flag waving Republican's aren't worried about silly Constitutional ideas like free speech. Only those elitist democrats that do that kind of thing right? http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/08/30/rnc...test/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Yea. If TV was around in the 30's, FDR wouldn't have stood a chance of getting elected. I saw Doris Kearns Goodwin on Charlie Rose this week. And she said that on the way up to the stage for FDR's famous speech in 1936 the stage kind of collapsed, and he literally fell over. But then they got him up there and there wasn't one word of it in all of the reports and newspaper articles the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blzrul Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 We cracked up at the last Repig convention where the trotted out all the African-Americans on stage...but when you looked in the audience you could see nary a one. They do take pandering to new heights. Does this convention culminate Thursday, like the Dems? They're doomed if so, Thursday is NFL season opener. Who the hell is gonna watch Puddin-face McCain when you can watch ... I think Wash v Giants...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These folks can be really scary, the kind that sniper shooter Malvo trained with in Seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blzrul Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I wonder how far they have to drive around that bridge that fell into the Mississippi? It would seem to me that they wouldn't want to call attention to the failing infrastructure of our country's transportation system (while we spend the $$ on war) by being anywhere near something like that. I'm only surprised they didn't have the chutzpah to have it in New Orleans. Fact is given Gustav, I sorta wish they had. It would be FUNNY to see those fat ole white boys standing on rooftops screaming for help. Oh yes, it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
