Concerning the “life isn’t fair” quote anyone who actually watched the interview would see that he was laughing when he said it and was making a joke.
He was mocking them IMO.
He was dull, listless and looked tired. He also passed up chance after chance to blast O and the Dems, do you ever hear Obama or one of his lackeys being so polite? If you are an undecided all you saw was a boring old man. If you were a Dem you saw somebody who looked like he was on the ropes and ready to go down. If you're a partisan Republican like me you should have heard alarm bells going off. The fact that so many Freepers are hoping his VP candidate can turn things around should make it pretty clear that the situation is grave right now. Ronald Reagan he ain't and Bob Dole proved that being an old warrior on its own isn't enough. As far as I'm concerned we got stuck with him and now we have to pray for a miracle.
