Official GOP Convention thread

[PKT_VOL]

Bull****. Bull****. Bull****.

Why must I vote AGAINST Barack Obama? Why must I vote AGAINST certain views or stances? I'm not voting for Barack Obama unless my finger selects his name in the voting booth.

My vote for Ron Paul, or (likely) Gary Johnson, will be casting a vote for good things I believe in. I will be voting for a candidate who best represents my personal views, and is best to lead this country. It's time we stop voting AGAINST Bush in '08, and voting AGAINST Obama in '12.

When some ask why I supported Ron Paul during the primaries, I could give a dozen reasons, and never mention Barack Obama or Mitt Romney. I could talk on specific views and positive qualities about "my" candidate. I ask people why I should vote Romney, their response "it's a vote against Obama". When will this cycle end, 2016,2020,2024?

I will be casting a vote FOR the man I believe to be the best option to lead this country, and protect the civil liberties, future, and well being of my family, my children, and my grandchildren. I will come out of that booth with a smile and clear conscious that I cast a vote for positive things I believe in, not a "lesser of two evils" vote that is killing the election process and the direction of this country.

:fireworks:

Couldn't agree more. Kudos.

Amen!

I love watching opposite network coverage. Say what you want but it is entertaining.

 

[volinbham]

MSNBC's description of Ryan fits perfectly for Obama.

 

[volinbham]

Matthews playing the race card HARD

completely ignoring Martinez, Rubio, Cruz, Rice, the woman from Utah's etc. stories.

 

[GAVol]

Mathews hitting the race bait talking point.

slightly beat you to it.

 

[Gramps]

Candy Crowley giving Ryan some love.

Just what the white house wants.

 

[volinbham]

Does have MSNBC have anyone that at least pretends to be middle of the road or gasp from the other side?

 

[GAVol]

Chris Mathews is a smart guy with a ton of insider experience and I liked his book . . . but he's gone party hack as hard as any analyst I've ever seen. He's moved into Sean Hannity territory.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

I like what Ryan has to say

To bad it doesn't match his voting record.

No doubt

Hannity never denied what he was. Matthews did.

Please explain

Joe Scarborough is about it on MSNBC.

 

[Mr_Henley]

Please explain

His voting record is public information that people should be seeking, before they endorse him.

Voting for NDAA, Raising the Deficit, NCLB, Patriot Act, etc etc etc.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Please explain

Tarp, GM bailout, medicare part d, no child left behind.

 

[volinbham]

Matthews is such a hack - his question for Rice was completely absurd.

 

[volinbham]

Rice is showing her class and intelligence in the face of ridiculous questioning.

 

[GAVol]

Matthews is such a hack - his question for Rice was completely absurd.

As was Andrea Mitchell's lame attempt to follow up with another birther blast.

 

[GAVol]

They're so positive about Rice to the point of almost being condescending.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

His voting record is public information that people should be seeking, before they endorse him.

Voting for NDAA, Raising the Deficit, NCLB, Patriot Act, etc etc etc.

Yep. Ugly truth is most folks coul care less, just lip stick on a pig.

 

[PKT_VOL]

Shhhhh. Quit with that nonsense. Stick with the official script.

I've seen that Janesville plant that got shut down. Likewise, I used to drive by a Chrysler/Dodge plant in N. Illinois that had acres of Neons - unsold Neons on the premises. Everyday I rode by that plant it was clear what its future was.
