It's true that all too many people can be convinced with lies, and the R&R campaign is tribute to that unfortunate fact.
LOL, you guys are in the untouchable and the unconvincable demographic. Might as well tune back to the Cartoon Channel or HSN!
What insult? Bombing a nation to ensure the continued flow of a vital natural resource we need is a good thing.
Basically it's him addressing the left's attacks with "I like women, I turned everything around, I etc" The smirk smug look is annoying as hell.
Maybe..but the cancer is inoperable now. You will find that the fiat easy money crowd comes in many hues and ages. Both old, young, black, brown and white frequent this club...consider Zimbabwe. The poorest of poor in that country were at one time trillionaires...but it took 100 of those trillions to buy one loaf of bread. They dumped their dollar for ours after defaulting...boy did we fool them!Might have had higher numbers if he was in his late forties or early fifties but he still wouldn't have won. The GOP wasn't built in a day. Far too many old white people clinging to those neoconservative values.
Times are a changing though.
Seriously, this is one of the worst acceptance speeches I have ever heard.
Poor, smug Mitt. Watching him pause and look so smirkily self-satisfied is painful to watch.
Dudley Do-Wrong. He just can't connect.
There was absolutely nothing of substance as far as any plan of action to fix anything.
It was all bash Obama and the U.S. is in bad shape because of Obama.
Republicans are pathetic.
They should be banned and banished from the U.S. as Treasoners.
Perhaps I'm mistaken. I thought from the title that the thread was about Romney's acceptance speech. Obviously, the OP thinks Romney did a poor job. The first reply thinks he did a fine job. Then all of a sudden, the thread turns to talking about bombing Libya and wars that Bush started? Who derailed this (the admin asks rhetorically)? -Admin DrPizza
Stay on topic please.
The next President of the US, number 45.

I have been discussing political matters on these forums since years before there was a P&N forum (if memory serves, this forum was created in 2003 or so). I am prepared to bet you that if Romney wins the election, I will cease posting in P&N (though not necessarily the other forums) for a minimum of four years. In exchange, if Obama wins the election, you must cease posting in P&N (though not necessarily the other forums) for a minimum of four years. If Obama wins, you will not claim, as you have with respect to your bet on the nomination, that somehow Romney wasn't actually running, or any other hedge - you will just leave this forum and not return until after Election Day, 2016. Obviously my term is only binding if you accept the bet, and I will have no obligation to refrain from posting unless you accept and Romney wins.
Sound good? Since you're so confident in a Romney victory, this should be a win-win for you.
IIRC, he made a similar bet with someone else, lost, and continues to post here...
As opposed to your "already drank the Kool-Aid and is now experiencing a numbing sensation in the brain" demographic? Mitt Romney could have gone up there and announced he wears kitten skin condoms while he sodomizes boy scouts and you'd still be in here shilling for him, because, as best I can tell, that is what they pay you for.
I would even be prepared to stipulate that the mods can ban the bet's loser from this forum for four years.
That's what I meant by his hedging. If memory serves, cybrsage bet that if Romney beat Santorum for the nomination, he would leave, but his hedge is that Santorum withdrew prior to the convention, and thus wasn't really competing for the nomination. I am eliminating that hedge - if Obama wins, he leaves, even if Romney's plane is struck by a meteor, or he withdraws from the election, or whatever. If Romney wins, I leave, even if Obama somehow passes away, or admits that he is not a natural born US citizen, prior to the election.
I would even be prepared to stipulate that the mods can ban the bet's loser from this forum for four years.
I too would opt in to this same wager with DVC. With one caveat. It also includes any/all of cybrsage's alt accounts.
Ok, so color me shocked, people who are hard core Obama supporters don't like Romney's speech. Obviously if you hate Romney\Republicans\Conservatives, you're going to hate the speech, and you weren't going to vote for him anyway. I'd be more curious to see how the speech played with various voter blocks that are in play.
Why bother? When Mittens concedes at 8pm EST cybr will just say he didn't lose, he forfeited.Want to bet?
