Official GOP Convention thread

I'm confident that if Romney is elected the comments tonight will have zero effect on Russian relations.

I hope they do. I'd prefer we make clear that their move backward is a problem for us.

From you or from a potential head of state for the US?

Putin dubs McCain 'nuts', says US drones killed Gaddafi - YouTube

As if he doesn't make snide remarks to improve US-Russian relations.

 

[PKT_VOL]

And theyre now more icy? Why shouldn't we be icy toward a guy blatantly heading toward totalitarianism?

Whether Russia is heading toward a totalitarian government or not is irrelevant. It is simply non-presidential and was uncalled for.

Ummm... what?

If he continues the same rhetoric, then it might. We will see if he says the same thing in the future. Regardless, it was uncalled for tonight.

I can picture it now. Putin's at home; probably sitting around without a shirt on; maybe just up from the cellar where he was conducting an interrogation of his maid just to keep his "chops" up --- he turns on the tube and hears Romney.

Fortunately, Ms. Putin is there to talk him down from calling in the launch codes.

Erin Burnett is always yummy

MSNBC is saying Romney's line about "when you need something big done, you get an American to do it" as a shot at Obama not being born in the US. Are they serious with that crap?

Dumb logic.

Assad is massacring his own people. I guess we should do the same.

We ought to take the high road.

 

[volsforever27]

I wonder what the Russian translation is for "not presidential"?

 

[PKT_VOL]

Ummm... what?

Why is that our problem?

Please tell me it was Matthews.

 

[volinbham]

Please tell me it was Matthews.

would be my guess but on second thought it could have been any of them.

 

[volsforever27]

I guess the Cold War was just a figment of our imagination?

Lol. Putin is badass though. I am not a fan of his politics but on a personal level he seems like a hell of guy to hang out with.

Actually was Maddow and the fat guy sitting up there.

Damn, I was close.

Mostly. Nothing was ever going to happen. It was mutually assured destruction. Both sides knew that.

It was. Mostly fueled by Ed Schultz.

Не президентских

Can we be assured the same will happen with Obama? Or Putin for that matter?

Не президентских

Show off.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Personally, I'm saddened this is the best we have to offer in this election.

These comments make zero sense to me.

And not quite sure what Assad has to do with this subject besides Putin sheltering the Syrian leadership and sending armaments to Assad loyalists. Least we not forget the ever negotiable Chinese-Russian UN vetoes on sanctions.

That they won't start WWIII. I believe so.
