Thursday Republican National Convention running commentary thread

[Daniel Adams]

I found it strange it hadn't been created yet.

Senator Lindsay Graham is on. He's delivering a nice speech about victory in Iraq.

[12th Doctor]

This has been kinda a weak night, so far.  I think because they are trying to cram everything in tonight hat they didn't do yet.

[12th Doctor]

Okay, I was wondering "Why are they showing a Palin video now?"

[Flying Dog]

Okay, I was wondering "Why are they showing a Palin video now?"

Palin is SO GREAT that the GOP decided to dump McCain and elevate Palin to the Presidential slot!

[Ronnie]

Ridge is putting me to sleep.

[Daniel Adams]

Okay, I was wondering "Why are they showing a Palin video now?"

Giuliani spoke for too long yesterday.

[Ban my account ffs!]

There's a commercial running right now

"The people that live here"  picture of obviously Israel "are helping achieve renewable energy here" picture of USA...

Israel is our ally when it comes to green energy which promotes freedom.

[Torie]

Ridge is giving a pretty good speech. Who knew it was within him? 

[Reluctant Republican]

Regardless of anything else, I really do these videos are highly effective. The music and the voice, it all blends together very well, I think. The Palin one was also pretty good.

[Lief 🗽]

Wow. A video explicitly exploiting 9/11. What a disgusting, disgusting party.

[Daniel Adams]

Wow. A video explicitly exploiting 9/11. What a disgusting, disgusting party.

Exploiting? Well, the same way the Democrats are exploiting current economic troubles, I guess.

[Lief 🗽]

Exploiting? Well, the same way the Democrats are exploiting current economic troubles, I guess.

No. Just no. The Republicans just showed a video of innocent Americans dying in a terrorist attack, a terrorist attack that occurred on their watch, with no other reason but to remind Americans of the terror and pain and sadness we all felt on that day. They are explicitly exploited the tragic, horrible deaths of 9/11 victims for political gain. I've never been more disgusted.

[Aizen]

Wow. A video explicitly exploiting 9/11. What a disgusting, disgusting party.

Yeah, that was pretty bad. CNN was saying they shouldn't have shown it.

[emailking]

That video was utterly repulsive.

[12th Doctor]

Yeah, that was pretty bad. CNN was saying they shouldn't have shown it.

It was a little tasteless.  I wish we could get away from being so explicit.

Clearly you've been in hibernation since when.... Sept. 12th, because that's when the exploitation by the politicians started.

Oh, stop your intellectual dishonesty. Reminding people what we're locked in a war against Islamofascism is not exploiting. Did Roosevelt exploit Pearl Harbor when he mentioned it in his speeches? But I should stop using analogies. You're clearly to hackish to comprehend them.

[Reluctant Republican]

I’m seeing a little Farrah Fawcett in Cindy McCain tonight.

[12th Doctor]

Wow... McCain's adopted daughter did not like the attention.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Wow... McCain's adopted daughter did not like the attention.

She's wary of these things because she's McCain's illegitimate black child.

[Lief 🗽]

IMPROMPTU DANCE BREAK

[Keystone Phil]

And Giants vs. Redskins ends at a perfect time. BRTD fails.

[War on Want]

Wow. A video explicitly exploiting 9/11. What a disgusting, disgusting party.

All of what you just said is ridiculous. You just compared Pearl Harbor and World War 2 to the "War on Terror".

[12th Doctor]

Yikes, that background music sucks.  Almost sounds like a midi.

Yep, that's exactly what I did. And I stand by it.
