Right-on Bendy!
I love that line too! Simple, yet effective. It should be the campaign motto from here until November.
” (Gov is not reason; not eloquent; its force.Like fire,a dangerous servant & master. George Washington) “
Dead on!
Yeah...it was great....
Just needed to invite the "chair" for tea with Polonius.
General Washington knew his stuff.

The last really good fish stew I enjoyed was at a very exclusive male only gathering under the equipment shed at Don’s sawmill on the Poor Farm Road! Chef Donald really outdid himself that evening. It was incredibly delicious and all the more so when accompanied by beer, off-color jokes and raucous laughter. All in all it was one of those occasions that leaves a man thinking that he has finally solved the mystery of what life is all about.
It was Catfish stew of course.
Hey naps, I saw another take on the “everyone is talking about Eastwood” angle today.
Somebody at Ace of Spades pointed out that while yes, the Media is having a gab-fest over Eastwood, they are not slamming Romney. This person’s point was the media was going to slam the GOPers no matter what.
So, maybe Eastwood is our shiny object for them today.
It is clear that the media is going to be the glowing wall of protection for Obama, Romney will somehow have to get under, over, around, etc. that wall to reach the voters.
Can he do it? I hope so.
I hope that I can help, but I won’t know how much for a few weeks.
I’m going to try, hopefully at least make some phone calls, put up a sign, etc.
It was nearly 2 hours after returning to hotel (1:30) and grabbing a tiny bite before packing up to hop on a van taking me to airport (there will definitely be NO sleeping this night), and I was torn between giving an "on-site view of Clint's presentation" to my friends on freerepublic and attending to the business at hand.
Now, having listening to a few other comments from people who have a vested interest in slamming it, others who merely couldn't "get it" because of their inability to hear and see it, and reading my favorite commentator on humor, Rush Limbaugh. As you are aware, Rush is totally deaf so his not hearing Clint is understandable and I'm not certain if Rush was watching Clint's performance on network TV or on C-Span but I am told many, if not most of the networks talked over the performance.
When Rush "got it" he realized what understated brilliance, seasoned academy award winner actor, writer, director Clint Eastwood was serving up to all.
Seriously folks, watch any classic Eastwood movie and you will never find him using volumes of dialogue, just a few well-pointed words, delivered staccato style almost his breath. That was it!
That was the Clint being Clint, talking to "empty-chair" Obama!
If you care to take the time and trouble and go back and watch it (I'm certain it's out there on you-tube, if it's not been scrubbed) to re-visit, with these explanations in mind and you will realize what, in classic Eastwood style he was thinking about Obama and the American people, for he was also speaking to you and me.
Lastly, I am very honored and grateful for my fellow KS Republicans for giving me the privilege of attending on their behalf and thanking God for His good gifts that made it financially possible to make the trip.
