Charles Krauthammer on President Obama's convention speech: "I was stunned. This is a man who gave one of the great speeches of our time in 2004. And he gave one of the emptiest speeches I have ever heard on a national stage. Yes it had cadence, and yes, there were deceptions in it, but that is not what is so striking about it. There was nothing in it. This is a man who believes that government can and should do a lot. There's nothing here that tells us how he's going to go from today to tomorrow."

Been WAY too long since I read those plays--obviously!
You said “I really could care less” — meaning that you have not reached rock bottom on the caring scale. Which means you DO care to some extent. So either let us know if you are dyslexic, or just someone who COULDN’T care less.
I think Romney's internals show he is in pretty good shape. I think O is planning an October surprise.. He's told Isreal they can attack Iran without US interference if they do it two weeks before the election. That's why O put in the comments about Romney lacking foreign and diplomatic experience...
[[No, sorry, if you expect to be taken seriously, take more care.]]
I cvould care less abotu petty peopel that are rude and disrespectful and can’t simply just discuss an issue instead of chuildishly zeroing in on a defect-
[[especially if they turn out not to be worth the effort.]]
If you’;ve concludec my posots are worthkless trhen please do feel free to skip right over them- but apparently you don’t feel they are worhtless because you just simply couldn’t help yourself and just had to jump on the insult baNDWAGON because apaprently it makes you feel better about yourself? otherwise, if they were worthless as you state- you would have simply ignored them- but you didn’t- As i mentioned in previous post- there seems to be a gand mentality aroudn here- and anyoen showing weakness of any sort gets pouinced on by ‘the gang’ and afterwards you all apaprently all sit aroudn and slap each other o nthe bakc and tell each other what a wodnerful job you all did ruipping somene a new one- In my book- that’s pretty pathetic- but if you feel it’s a trait worth continuing, then by all means- please do- it just goes toward further revealign the type of character you and ‘the gang’ have-
WELL! POST #81! Looks like things have finally straightened out for Cottshop!
Brings back some fond memories. Well--maybe not fond....
FReepers do not want to be associated with the bad spelling of the left. Personally I could care less. If your point is understood that works for me. Take care
Whoops! Just saw post #105
Looks like nothing has changed, and it’s just
business as usual.
“This is a man who gave one of the great speeches of our time in 2004.”
“I defy anyone to come up with a quote from that “great” speech.”
Actually the 2004 DNC convention was a great speech. You can look it up. It was what got Obama attention by party leaders. He said that there is no red America or blue America only a red, white and blue America.
He implied that he was a post-racial black candidate and people liked that. He sounded sort of like ML King, bringing the nation together. People wanted someone to lead the nation and heal our divisions. He sounded good. But, it was just show.
All of his other speeches (except the Gifford’s speech) since have been globalism, environmentalism, socialism, class warfare and anti-American hard left liberalism.
Both Obama’s and Romney’s speeches were the only two that were so bland and empty that they could put me to sleep. Their content was meaningless and forgettable and their delivery artificial and unconvincing. The most maddeningly annoying speeches were Ann Romney’s, Sandra Fluke’s and Elizabeth Warren’s, for different reasons.
The best speeches in terms of sheer personality and delivery were Paul Ryan’s and Michelle Obama’s. They both came off as truly relatable, sincere, genuine individuals who made their points succinctly and with carefully focused precision. Their delivery was totally natural and unforced, in marked contrast to the awkward discomfort of Mitt Romney and the pompous preening of Barack Obama.
The biggest missed opportunity for the Republicans was not having a speech like Clinton’s which just tore into and took apart the Obama administration piece by piece. That would’ve been perfect for Newt Gingrich to do in prime time. Eastwood was the only speaker who did any serious attacking of Obama, and of course his speech was in a class by itself. But that dismantling also needed to come from someone who really represented the party and its policies in a serious way.

leftie- it shoulsdnm’t matter why- you and the rest of your ilk shoudl have neoyugh respect and be polite enbough to simply address the points (or at the least- ignore the posts altogether if you can’t be bnothered to read through the posts [but apparently you CAN be bothered to read throguh the posts because you’;ve read every post so far])
It shouydl be over now- REGARDLESS of the reason for the mispellings- but peopel liek you simply can’t help yourselves and you revel in ripping hte throats out of less fortunates and people who are different, or who have dissabilities, or defecvts or whatever- The POLITE thing to have doen was to simply assume there was a defect- and simpyl judged whether hte post had merrit enogyuh to respond to or not- and moved ion fro mthere- but nope- Ya’ll had to make me your personal little spectacle and beliuttle someone who isn’t as perfect as yourselves because why now? And that’s not even the worst of it- you then tried to justify your rude disrespectful actions by claiming that content is inexorably and inseprably linked to context-
you’ve had you petty fun at hte expense of another- but apprently you wish to keep it alive even longer- so whatever!
OK—thanks.
