Another tool.

 

[emptystep]

Awkward pause....

 

[LoneLaugher]

We're Number 1! Except when we are not.

 

[LoneLaugher]

How? How exactly?

 

[LoneLaugher]

Dude's a name dropper.

 

[LoneLaugher]

He's going to get his ass kicked in Florida.

 

[emptystep]

The audience is alienated. They are not in sync with the speaker.

 

[Sarah G]

Helmet head Callista Gingrich speaking with her crazy hubby.

 

[LoneLaugher]

This is really going to seal the win for Mitt.

 

[LoneLaugher]

What? No moon colony?

 

[LoneLaugher]

She seems like such a warm person.

 

[Sarah G]

What? No moon colony?

They're talking about Reagan if that counts.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Newt lying with his wife. Odd. He's usually lying to his wife.

 

[LoneLaugher]

There was no way they were letting Newt go off script. They made a crazy person boring. He was Mitt-struck.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Are you convinced?

 

[Sarah G]

Chris Hayes on MSNBC was just saying the Gingrich's always do speaking engagements together. Interesting.

 

[M.D. Rawlings]

Ryan's "We Can Do This" speach: in other words, "if you voted for Obama in 2008 to prove that you're not a racist, please vote for somebody else in 2012 to prove that you're not an idiot."

Some of the best lines:

"With all his attack ads, the president is just throwing away money, and he's pretty good at that."

"President Obama is the kind of politician who puts promises on the record . . . and then calls that the record. But we are fours years into this presidency: the issue is not the economy that Barack Obama inherited, not the economy that he envisions, but the economy that we are living."

"Our rights come from nature and God, not from government."

"We will not spend the next four years blaming others; we will take responsibility. We will not try to replace our founding principles; we will reapply our founding principles."

 

[Sarah G]

Finally a smart Republican. Jeb Bush.

 

[emptystep]

Sign says 'Former Governor Jeb Bush of Florida', who is he now?

 

[LoneLaugher]

Yeah....but he led with the bull about Obama not accepting responsibility. That is just not true.
