Chris Christie could barely enunciate his words through those huge jowls. I thought he was going to cough up a rack of lamb. Anyone want to take odds on whether they had a crash cart waiting in the wings in case this tub of lard suffered a coronary while blustering through all that empty rhetoric? 1800 words into the speech before even mentioning Romney's name. Yeah, they really love their candidate, don't they? From what I could tell, tepid applause in some parts, bigger applause in response to hysterically hypocritical lines like "real leaders don't follow the polls, real leaders make the polls." Right, as if Republicans don't use polls to shape their message and talking points. "We're going to take back our nation." Yeah, nothing like echoing Pat Buchanan circa 1988. Epic fail. Total disaster as a keynote speech when you consider the purpose of the convention is to introduce the public to Mitt Romney and explain why he should be the President.
While there's no power on Earth that could influence me to vote for Mitt Romney, that doesn't mean I think Obama has been perfect. I was waiting to hear some coherent, logical pro-Romney argument. Instead, the speech was nothing but recycled Repugnant bullshit, union busting, attacking teachers, shrink government.... Is there any more stupid argument than the shrink government canard? Republicans shrink government? Oh yeah? Tell me how. Go on, I dare you.
I was too busy conquering Italy (thanks Robotech Master for pointing old Good Old Games, Lords of the Realm II Royal Edition FTMFW!), did I miss anything?
Aw, bull shit. You fap to historical accounts of gulags and the Holodomor, don't even try to con us. If you don't think Obama is perfect, it's only because he hasn't had hundreds of thousands of refuseniks rounded up and "disappeared."
Why go after Christie's weight? If you don't like his policies, just say so. Making fun of his weight just makes you look like a shallow, partisan hack. It's unnecessary.
Proved in every bloody revolution in which the people destroyed the government that had been keeping them down, including the French Revolution, the American Revolution and others. Just because not everyone can pull it off doesn't mean it can't be pulled off, and it CERTAINLY doesn't mean that every abusive motherfucker who achieves some paltry station can't be ripped out of his guard shack and gutted by people who have Had Enough(tm).
Romney looked so stiff and uncomfortable during the whole thing. Even kissing his wife made him look baffled by human interaction. Of course, barely anyone was talking about him anyway.
No, the real presidential disaster of the past 30 years was Dubya Bush. That was a truly failed presidency. The only folks who think Obama has been a "disaster" are the Limbaugh dittoheads who have held that opinion since day #1 of the administration.
Because it amuses me. And because he's a fat fuck. A rich, fat white man giving a speech about how teachers don't teach in order to be rich & famous - they're supposed to do it out of love for the children. Really? I bet most teachers wouldn't mind higher salaries. But no, fat Christie says do it for the love.
So what if the guy is obese? We care about his ability to cut deficits, not calories. I like that Christie neither looks nor talks like a professional politician. It's part of his charm. And whether his speech was good or bad, it was still the most entertaining of the Tuesday lineup. Now tonight we have Paul Ryan -- this ought to be better.
You want an example? That "fat fuck" who balanced his budget in New Jersey without raising taxes is one. You're just butt hurt because Chris Christie, Scott Walker and other Republican Governors are showing the country how true conservative policies work. Sorry, but the days of public employee unions holding a strangle hold on local and state governments is coming to an end. Time for you guys to earn what you are actually worth.
This is why your country is in decline. You people keep confusing size with strength, and corpulence for courage. But much like a fat guy in a fight, you started to run out of steam after 9/11 and that one solid knock down punch has left you struggling to get up off the dirt.
