Republican National Convention Open Thread 2
— Ace

Well, the first hour was... dysriveting.

I've never watched a convention before. Not really. But I'm wondering if they didn't succumb to the media's concern-trolling and take out most of the barbs about Obama. FOR THE VICTIMS OF ISAAC.

Making it kind of boring.

Anyway, Scott Walker's up.

36 Ace, all conventions are boring as shit.  Find a suite with a bar or you will fall asleep.  You got a press pass, con your way into one of the upper level rooms.



Er, not like I've done this before.  Just saying, food, booze, tv and a seat.  Also, you meet the "right people" in the suites, not Betty Sue, precinct chairman in wataga.

112 "good speech... delivered it in more of the classic stentorian fashion."
One of the sad things we've lost over time is the speaking voice. Only a few people do it like pastors, but most people think they need to be "authentic" and not give a real strong speaking voice with language tailored to making speeches only.
I'm thinking of the territorial assembly scene in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, where Jimmy Stewart is totally outgunned by the rancher's speaker. That guy could speak, but the whole scene is built around Jimmy Stewart as a homey, populist guy who wins the day.
And that's what the culture pushed. Its "inauthentic" to speak differently, its not "ordinary folks" enough. So we lost a pretty rich part of American culture.

I think this is how most conventions are. Stilted speeches et al. It doesn't help that it's a cavernous arena with folks who have been listening to political speeches for months now.

348 Whoa.

Go Rick.  Indeed he does rule like he's above the law.  The murmur in the crowd was telling.  "When a president can give a speech or write a memo to change a law to do what the law says he can not do, we will no longer be a republic."

I'm glad things are being framed in a crystal clear way.  Obama's actions are criminal.  I hope Romney vows to prosecute him and frog-march him.

377 Mayor Mia Love (running for Congress) has met half her goal from her 10-min speech back at 7 p.m. Imagine what she would have raked in if more had tuned in and caught her speech. She was amazing.

503

By the way, remember how John Kasich delivered such an energetic speech? According to Dave Weigel on the floor of the convention hall, he improvised nearly the entire thing on the spot because his teleprompter broke down.

 

He had written text he was glancing at. Pretty smoothly handled. The crowd didn't seem moved, but it might just be the audio. Hard to hear them react on CSPAN.

504 I'm not a Santorum fan, but he did a solid job there. Really loved the stat on 2% chance of being in poverty with HS degree and married before having kids, vs. 38x that if not.. I know it's all well and good to accept "alternative" ways of doing things, but that's a damn good argument.

Artur Davis voted for just about every liberal bill of note the last few years, except Obamacare.  Don't know how you explain that,  but it's still good to have him.

 

I always thought the first black president would be a Republican, because a black Democrat would be a big city left-wing radical and he wouldn't win. Maybe I was off by one.

People will read the transcript in a few days and agree with me.  He was okay.  Nothing great.  He made too many excuses for dems and for Barky voters and tried to actually get the crowd to agree that Clinton came to meet them halfway.  Clinton had to be dragged kicking and screaming and he promised his own constituents that he would undo much of what he signed in his second term - which is part of how he got a second term.  Of course, it was a pathetic joke since Clinton never got anything passed of his making.

And talk about how compromising JFK and LBJ were?  Er ...

These specific examples are great. I wish she'd be a little less polite, though, and throw in some language like, "if this President refuses to obey the law."

The Boeing thing frosted me when Obama did it.

"Slighting" is again too polite. She should have said "shafting" the American worker. "Screwing over" would have been even better, but it wouldn't have worked coming from her.
