Free Republic

Obama’s speech accomplished what it was supposed to do which was to fire up the Democratic Party base. Yes there were a few critics on the dems side but overall the speech was good and it worked. There is no script as to what ahould be included in an acceptance speech so he went back to what has worked for him and I believe he delivered. The polls would seem to bear that out.

I haven’t changed my opinion but on a different and more shocking note Hannity is now predicting World War III. If it was Dick Morris making that prediction I wouldn’t be worried.

...and if Trump would have backed off the birth certificate issue and Limbaugh not called Fluke a slut we would be looking at a one term proposition exactly as Obama had predicted. Those two issues did nothing to advance the cause of conservatism, instead it cost the GOP the White House.

It’s over, great speech...Limbaugh and Hannity failed, he’s going to be reelected.

...and Nikki Haley would never quit in the middle of her term.

The “us” is the Republican Party that I go back to all the way to the Eisenhower adminitration. I don’t like seeing the party being dominated by high stakes players in the ratings business.

Limbaugh is pissing me off with all his negativity lately. The first day of the convention and nothing positive from Rush. He could care less if Romney wins and he cost the GOP the election with his Sandra Fluke comment. That is precisely when the momentum shifted back toward Obama. He cost us the WH in 2008 with his personal dislike of Mccain and he’s done it again this election. Hannity is just as bad right now as I listen to him. What has happened to the once proud Republican Party?

He’s staying in. Anyone looking to book a room in Tampa for the convention should have no trouble as several reservations are going to be cancelled within the next few hours.

The 2012 GOP Convention is An Ailes/Rove/Cheney production. They have all turned on Palin.

...So instead of praising Rush for not selling out, you are complaining because he is not kissing Romney’s ring.

There are alot of good people in the GOP busting ass trying to put a Republican in the WH. A Republican in the WH means many, many opportunities for these hard working people to gain employment with a Republican administration. I’d rather have the Republican team in the WH then those that Rush tells us are trying to ruin the country. Those are my priniciples...

Not a game changer. This is...Rush Limbaugh is the single most important voice of Conservatism and the GOP. His refusal to back Mccain resulted in the election of Obama and his lukewarm support for Romney is going to have the same result. Rush could be the game changer.

Hannity will be on later making the shooter the victim so he can get the first interview.

Very interesting reaction up here in Canada. I was at a citizen forum discussing suggestions to improve the health care system here. The Supreme court decision came up and the people at my table couldn’t believe it went to the Supreme Court basically saying how the hell else are you going to pay for universal coverage without drawing on taxes as a revenue source.

Now that she is rich she should run for Governor of Alaska. She owes it to them to actually work for a full erm.

I know he doesn’t endorse but he does give “marching orders.” Didn’t do it in 2008 however.

Rush frustrates me at times. He is saying we should have seen Obama as a disaster 3.5 years ago and not voted him in yet he did so very little to support the Republican candidate because of his personal dislike of him. Rush’s lack of support affected that election bigtime if you ask me and now he’s upset that Obama won.

What has Sarah Palin accomplished since resigning as Governor? She needs to actually do something other then just be the person that gave a great speech at the convention four years ago. Just sayin’

It is very obvious what is going on. Romney is going after the votes of the Limbaugh-Hannity haters. It does represent a significant voting block and if those on the fence see this as a bold move by a non-conservative Republican they just might abandon Obama and vote for him.
