Thursday Republican National Convention running commentary thread

[Keystone Phil]

Why don't they just kick em out? Don't want to create a scene? Arguably, it was the RNC's own stupidity that allowed this to happen.

Uh...they did. People here were complaining about that.

Each side just wants to complain of the other. One has the right to protest, the other has the right to eject. Fair is fair.

[ChrisFromNJ]

This is really a terrible speech. His worst since the infamous green screen speech.

[12th Doctor]

Oratory is not McCain's strength... but American's already knew that.

[Lief 🗽]

Haha, now it's a blue screen. What a dolt.

[Ty440]

This is really a terrible speech. His worst since the infamous green screen speech.

Dude how many do you have in you tonight?

I wasn't complaining that they were removed, they should have stayed outside. I was just defending their right to protest. The rest was my usual rant against the 2nd amendment.

[Aizen]

This speech has gone from slightly above average to below average

[JohnCA246]

LMAO at the crowd getting most excited about drilling offshore.

[NOVA Green]

I'm not sure he should have doubled down on energy with the price of gas starting to go down.... it is the only major argument of the economy that he has done well on in the polls.

[Sbane]

Well we got some substance on energy but even there this fascination with drilling is curious. They do understand that is maybe 5% of what our energy plan should be.

[NOVA Green]

I'm glad he doesn't want a return to the Cold War, the was actually one of my biggest fears of recent months.

[JohnCA246]

yeah i understand people supporting, it its just funny how excited the crowd gets...

[ucscgaldamez]

I just turned the tv off, I was getting really bored.

[NOVA Green]

I liked the reference to tide energy... there are actually some interesting research projects right now on the Oregon coast which could show some fruition in 10-15 years.

[NOVA Green]

He's getting better... from a C+ McCain thus far to a B-..... still a pretty good speech thus far considering the length.

[JohnCA246]

OOoooO that one hurt.

[NOVA Green]

Promising a diverse cabinet with transparency and accountability.... stronger endgame.

[Sensei]

This is pretty bad. C-. I know 5 year olds who can see though the education part.

[Person Man]

Yeah. McCain has been overshadowed by his entire posse.

[Lief 🗽]

I'm trying really hard not to be a hack, but this speech is mind-numbingly boring.

[Beet]

I'm really not hoping for another mediocrely-articulate Presidency.

[Ty440]

He's getting better... from a C+ McCain thus far to a B-..... still a pretty good speech thus far considering the length.

So far a C..Not a disaster.....Senator   I know Governor Palin  Ive watched Governor Palin Senator your no   Governor Palin

[Keystone Phil]

I guess excellent oratory and mediocre attempts at getting real results would be much better.

[Flying Dog]

Really? I think it's getting worse. It's harder to keep interested.
