Clint Eastwood will be speaking at the Republican Convention in Tampa on Thursday according to Fox News. The network’s website is reporting that a GOP source confirmed “that Eastwood is indeed the mystery speaker”. Thursday night’s line-up has a “To Be Announced” speaker scheduled ahead of Senator Marco Rubio and GOP Presidential nominee Mitt Romney himself. Eastwood’s name was floated earlier this week as the speaker along with former VP nominee Sarah Palin, Donald Trump and even a hologram of former President Ronald Reagan. No stranger to politics, Eastwood served as the Mayor of Carmel, California from 1986 to 1988. He supported John McCain in 2008 and endorsed Mitt Romney earlier this month at a Sun Valley fundraiser. “Now more than ever do we need Mitt Romney, I’m going to be voting for him,” the Oscar winner said as the GOP nominee stood next to him on August 4. If Eastwood is really heading to Tampa to speak Thursday evening, he’s going to have to get going soon. Deadline has learned that as of Wednesday afternoon, the actor/director was still at his home in Carmel. Eastwood’s latest film, Trouble With The Curve comes out on September 21, 2012.

There were no Rinos on the stage. The speakers were Republicans.
Come on, Boehner, McCain, JBush, .... what a winning team :)
At least they fired Steele, he is just a Dem posing as a R to jump up the party ladder and it worked for a while.
Exactly right. Eastwood said some tough things in an eccentric way. If they only read a transcript of what he said people would cheer because he spoke the truth.
As for the reaction from the Left - what else are they going to do? The truth is like poison ivy to them and they get to itching. Did the Left give ANY speaker a big thumbs up?
We need to quit trying to please Matthews, Juan, Maddow, Shultz. Not our job.
” Clint Eastwood stood for office at the local level, in the community where he lives, in order to lift the regulations stifling businesses and householders.”
By all accounts, Eastwood was an effective mayor of Carmel, CA.
Thanks.
What did Jeb have to say? Did he castigate America for failing to annex Mexico ?
I used the same mute button I used on Boehner and McCain. Better if you suffer through it and tell us.
MSNBC called in Megan Mccain for an expert opinion of the speeches. That was really enlightening.
Between ‘man-is-she-fat’ Megan and ‘Republicans-wont -get-minorities-without-me’ Steele we know we are fairly represented on that channel MSNBC. They recommend Republicans mirror the Democrats on all issues to get more votes. What could go wrong?
:)
Haha!!!
So when you blast one off, the floor actually comes apart??
Prize winners!!! Haha!
The empty chair was appropriate; FuBO is an empty suit.
Eastwood did a good job. But man, like I said earlier...tough to see him get old.
I liked he said “This country belongs to us...”. Not to put TOO fine a point on it, right?
” I liked he said “This country belongs to us...””
Amen, brother. Have a great weekend.
Like hittting the after burners on an old WW2 carrier wooden flight deck.
We own the country and the politicians work for us goes even further in my opinion.
I agree. Eastwood was superb.
Eccentric and unscripted way, so I hear.
Eastwood most certainly spoke the truth.
Society nowadays is poised to spring beFORE we get out the last sentence!
The TV names you mention are known to me, but I usually don’t even remember to view that channel.
And yes - quit trying to please the left.
Clint gets it.
Don’t mess with the “Old Guys”...they STILL understand what this country is about.
HAHAH!!! Excellent!!! Yer a man after me own heart!!!
Yer a man after me own heart phart!!!
NICE!!!!!!!!!
Cracks me up...bodily noises are STILL funny at 51..Maybe I’m immature...but it’s still breaks me up.
Especially if someone lets one off in Church, and I happen to hear it....that’s bad....REAL bad...self-control, I no gots...
” Clint gets it.
Don’t mess with the “Old Guys”...they STILL understand what this country is about.”
Nothing to fear, nothing to lose.
