I think Michael Moore just got himself uninvited.


Practice saying President Romney...

I think it's charming the way Americans get all excited about their little political conventions.

Clint Eastwood pretty much stole the show from Mitt Romney... will Obama be equally as stupid?

Will it be as boring or more boring than the RNC?

 

[contrifan32]

We know Biden will be there.... the iconic drunk uncle at Christmas

 

[Lancecastor]

Low voter turnout favors the incumbent and I see nothing going on by the Rebublicans to increase turnout or engage swing voters...so this election is probably already over.

Unless of course they cheat again at the electoral college level like they did with Bush 2.

That said, I think the DNC will be fairly low-key.

OMG! I see that Michael Moore is now setting himself up as the loonie fact checker for Paul Ryan's convention speech ... how anyone can believe the fool is beyond me.

You're right, anyone that believed anything Ryan said in that speech is a moron. Even Fox called him a liar.

Media Calls Paul Ryan A Liar. Real Facts Say Otherwise

MSNBC’s Chris Mathews was among many liberal media pundits to incorrectly call Paul Ryan a liar.

http://www.theminorityreportblog.com/files/2012/08/Chris-Matthews-Unhinged.jpg

When Paul Ryan said an auto plant in Janesville closed down shortly after a visit by then-candidate Barack Obama – he was right. Liberal pundits scrambled to declare Ryan was lying – that the plant closed down in 2008 so it could not be blamed in any way on President Obama. Problem for them is that the plant actually did not close until 2009. Those media pundits failed to do even the briefest of factchecking their own fact checking.

EXCERPT:

Seems like fact checkers need to do some fact checking of their own assumptions. Paul Ryan’s speech last night included a reference to a GM plant in Janesville that closed, which Ryan used to criticize Barack Obama for failing to meet his campaign promises.

A number of “fact” checkers jumped all over Ryan’s anecdote to claim that he lied about the circumstances of the plant’s closure. Actually, those “facts” aren’t quite accurate.

As the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported in September of last year — long before Ryan got added to the ticket — the Janesville plant got shut down in 2009, after being notified of their pending closure in December 2008:

The Janesville plant stopped production of SUVs in 2008 and was idled in 2009 after it completed production of medium-duty trucks.

Ryan acknowledged that the plant had already been slated for shutdown in 2008. That was his point.

People voted for Obama because they thought he represented hope to get the plant back in operation. In fact, that had been known since at least February 2008, when Obama came to Janesville to speak, and specifically addressed the plant closure in his remarks, delivered at the plant itself — and promised to keep it and other plants like it open “for the next hundred years”

That’s the promise that Barack Obama failed to deliver — even when the government took ownership of GM.

Ryan had it exactly right, and the fact checkers have made a mockery of their own profession by stepping all over their own biases to refute Ryan.

Obama didn't make a "hundred year" promise, despite how much you wish that he had.

So your whole post is a waste of text.

Hey MeeMie,

over 3200 workers lost their jobs in 2008 during the Bush administration.

57 workers lost their jobs in 2009 during the Obama administration.

Basic math (as opposed to PatriotMath™...where numbers mean anything you want them to mean) says 57 divided by 3257 equals .016.....so 98.4% of the workers were laid off in the waning days of teh failed Bush administration...

But you and lyin' Ryan want to put all teh blame on President Obama.

Derp!

Better luck next smear!

Hey, dumb dumb:

http://blogs.villagevoice.com/dailymusto/2012/08/fox_admits_paul.php

The author does concede that Ryan has enormously helped ease unemployment by making media outlets scurry to hire more fact checkers "to sift through the mountain of cow dung that flowed from Ryan's mouth."

And they go into detail as to some of the barnyard crap that spewed last night, and how it was willfully distorted by the Vice Presidential wannabe.

Anyway, between this and their bumping Sarah Palin last night, Fox is earning a few points for sensible behavior.

http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/08/30/paul-ryans-speech-in-three-words/

On the other hand, to anyone paying the slightest bit of attention to facts, Ryan’s speech was an apparent attempt to set the world record for the greatest number of blatant lies and misrepresentations slipped into a single political speech. On this measure, while it was Romney who ran the Olympics, Ryan earned the gold.

Now run along, little meme.

I think Obama is going to speak.

Hey, one token white male in there. Congratulations!


So now Obama is a bad guy for not reversing the closing of one GM plant in Wisconsin, when closing ALL GM plants forevermore was the preferred policy of the finest minds of Wingnuttia? Yeah, that makes sense.


Ryan is a liar. Deal.

Where do you go from Greek Columns and lowering tides?

Uh, Oval Office?

Game, set and match.

They could go with one of Clint's co-stars from back in the day...

Badass.

The WWE has the wrestler R-Truth talk to an imaginary boy called Lil Jimmy. I bet he'd do a better "comedy" skit than Mr Eastwood did.

As for opening acts, Ashley Judd will hopefully be there.
