The REAL Effect Of Having Eastwood Speak Unscripted..

[bodecea]

I don't think the convention went particularly well for Romney.

These kinds of conventions usually give a bump in the polls to the candidate. How come we're not hearing anything about that in the form of bragging threads by our illustrious Righties?

This seems to be a real problem for Mitt all over. I think he has a message he wants to get out, but you have Eastwood's Improv, Akin's stupidity, etc, and he just can't seem to catch a minute in the spotlight that is all his.

Some of the distraction was just bad luck... Aikin... the storm... The fat gubner from Jersey imitating Biff from "back To The Future"..didn't mention Romney's name for 17 minutes ... That stuff just happens.. But that made it even more important for Mittens to hit one out of the park in his big moment. Having Eastwood UNSCRIPTED was a wild card that played badly in Willards last hand for the whole pot. What were they thinking? I don't blame Romney.. His handlers are idiots. It was like they were doing something for a high school play with a multimillion dollar budget... Great lighting...but in the end it was amature night.

You know Puggy, if it was just your atrocious spelling, that could almost be excused but fuck, what an idiot you are! Every post...... even Truth makes you look stupid. How do you figure out how to get out of bed in the morning?
You're just another dim commenting on something you didn't see or hear, pathetic. Sucks dick to be you!

Attacking the poster rather than dealing with the message. That's effective.

Actually, Clint was being creative and I liked it.
Clint Eastwood is an actor, director and producer. In other words he's an artist. Clint was simply putting on a one-man play.
A few years back James Whitmore did a terrific one-man-play about Harry Truman, I saw it, it was great.
Clint Eastwood simply put on a one-man-play to make his point. That was much better than reading a scripted speech behind a podium.

Eastwood appealed to senor citizens and they are a huge voting bloc..
so you all poo poo him at your own risk..

If Democrats think they are going to get all those college kiddies to come and vote for the Hopey Changey again, you have to wonder eh

Not that huge anymore.

Here is another effect of Clint's speech;

Saturday, September 01, 2012

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 47% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns 44% of the vote. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and six percent (6%) are undecided.

What's the point? You people on the left are untrainable.

As a performer and stand up comedian, Bill Maher has probably used the empty chair a number of times. Bill Maher has likely been in therapy for years and knows exactly what an empty chair means.

All 'those college kiddies' know President Obama's Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act is the best thing that has happened to their generation.

And 'those college kiddies' know if Romney gets elected it will be the best thing for banks and the worst thing for students and taxpayers.

Thank you for the cognitive dissonance.

BTW, Bush and Republicans were in power for almost all the 2000's, how did THAT work out for America?

Aughts were a lost decade for U.S. economy, workers

For most of the past 70 years, the U.S. economy has grown at a steady clip, generating perpetually higher incomes and wealth for American households. But since 2000, the story is starkly different.

The past decade was the worst for the U.S. economy in modern times, a sharp reversal from a long period of prosperity that is leading economists and policymakers to fundamentally rethink the underpinnings of the nation's growth.

It was, according to a wide range of data, a lost decade for American workers. The decade began in a moment of triumphalism -- there was a current of thought among economists in 1999 that recessions were a thing of the past. By the end, there were two, bookends to a debt-driven expansion that was neither robust nor sustainable.

There has been zero net job creation since December 1999. No previous decade going back to the 1940s had job growth of less than 20 percent. Economic output rose at its slowest rate of any decade since the 1930s as well.

Middle-income households made less in 2008, when adjusted for inflation, than they did in 1999 -- and the number is sure to have declined further during a difficult 2009. The Aughts were the first decade of falling median incomes since figures were first compiled in the 1960s.

And the net worth of American households -- the value of their houses, retirement funds and other assets minus debts -- has also declined when adjusted for inflation, compared with sharp gains in every previous decade since data were initially collected in the 1950s.

"This was the first business cycle where a working-age household ended up worse at the end of it than the beginning, and this in spite of substantial growth in productivity, which should have been able to improve everyone's well-being."

I noticed how the left have totally ignored his statements on how politicians are our employees and not our bosses.

Given what they did to people who disagree with them within their own party... I think that applies rather well to RW's as well. Only this was very recent and very public.

Are you comparing that chair thing with James Whitmore's play on Harry Truman?
