Clint Eastwood is a genius!

[blackascoal]

Hmmm... "Brilliant crown jewel?" I don't believe anyone has said that. The "brilliant crown jewel" by far, was Paul Ryan's speech. Eastwood's performance was just a masterful smackdown of Obama, in a way that no Republican politician could have ever gotten away with. It was brilliant, it was genius as a matter of fact... as demonstrated by the continued conversations across the social media. But make no mistake, it wasn't the "crown jewel" or centerpiece of anything.

But see... again, we reveal a terrible problem liberals seem to have... you don't listen. You hear what you want and run with it!

:0) Yet here you have a thread proclaiming the GENIUS of Eastwood's performance .. which is obviously not shared by much of the Republican Party .. something you obviously were unaware of.

And to make matter even more strange, you point to conversations on social media as proof of the GENIUS.

NEWSFLASH: Most of those conversations are making a lot more fun of Eastwood then we are. :0) Was that his intent .. to become the laughing stock and goat of social media?

If so, in the words of George Bush .. Mission Accomplished.

Wait .. there is even more fun to be had ..

Romney got essentially NO BOUNCE from his convention .. even with the GENIUS of late-night comedy.

Fact: While Ryan tried to pin the downgrade of the United States’ credit rating on spending under President Obama, the credit rating was actually downgraded because Republicans threatened not to raise the debt ceiling

.
Fact: While Ryan blamed President Obama for the shut down of a GM plant in Janesville, Wisconsin, the plant was actually closed under President George W. Bush

. Ryan actually asked for federal spending to save the plant, while Romney has criticized the auto industry bailout that President Obama ultimately enacted to prevent other plants from closing.
Fact: Though Ryan insisted that President Obama wants to give all the credit for private sector success to government, that isn't what the president said. Period.
Fact: Though Paul Ryan accused President Obama of taking $716 billion out of Medicare, the fact

is that that amount was savings in Medicare reimbursement rates (which, incidentally, save Medicare recipients out-of-pocket costs, too) and Ryan himself embraced these savings in his budget plan

.
Elections should be about competing based on your record in the past and your vision for the future, not competing to see who can get away with the most lies and distortions without voters noticing or bother to care. Both parties should hold themselves to that standard. Republicans should be ashamed that there was even one misrepresentation in Ryan’s speech but sadly, there were many.
3. Distracting
And then there’s what Ryan didn’t talk about.
Ryan didn’t mention his extremist stance on banning all abortions with no exception for rape or incest, a stance that is out of touch with 75% of American voters

.
Ryan didn’t mention his previous plan to hand over Social Security to Wall Street.
Ryan didn’t mention his numerous votes to raise spending and balloon the deficit when George W. Bush was president

.
Ryan didn’t mention how his budget would eviscerate programs that help the poor and raise taxes on 95% of Americans in order to cut taxes for millionaires and billionaires even further and increase — yes, increase —the deficit

No, a lot of republicans didn't get it at first, and I was a little reluctant myself. But that is what is so genius and brilliant about it. I can certainly imagine, when the dude painted the Mona Lisa, people around back then probably said...meh, it's a nice portrait... no big deal. But art has a funny way of ruminating over time in your soul, and the more you view it, the more profoundly it impacts, if it is truly great art. So this is not uncommon at all with masterpieces. The same can be said for the works of Motzart... Elvis... The Beatles... Andy Warhol... Orson Wells... any great artist, really.

!

Dixie how is it you are not writing advertising copy? An old man yelling at an empty chair = the Mona Lisa. That is the most awesome thing I have ever read.

Ryan's speech was truly brilliant... but not for conservatives. He let us know unequivocally how repubs play fast and loose with the facts. He was shown up as a liar all over the country. He hand-delivered the ammo that Dems are going to use to excoriate him. I couldn't be more pleased with him.

 

[Dixie - In Memoriam]

No, in fact only one thing he said has turned out to be true. The speech itself was almost entirely false, not any one point.
It is a matter of public record, not debateable. This is why so many people know you are insane, you deny reality on a regular basis.

Well whenever you feel froggy enough to jump out there and present some specifics, we can discuss those. Right now, you are simply repeating the same false claim that Ryan lied. He didn't. If you just want to run around like an idiot yelling it's all lies, that's fine... that's typical of brain-dead liberal pond scum like you. Liberals tried to run around making the false claim that he lied about the GM plant in Janesville, turns out, he was absolutely correct in what he said. The plant did not close under Bush, as you claimed was the "fact" in contradiction to what Ryan said. The plant "IN FACT" closed in 2009, under Obama... who had promised during the campaign to not let it happen. Other than this, I don't know of any more details on specifics with regard to what you're claiming, and apparently, you don't either since you can't mention them here.

Again... no specifics... just KNOW PEOPLE... Ryan LIED! It doesn't really matter what he supposedly lied about, the liberals say he did, so he must have! That's good enough for America!

Oh no doubt... like I pointed out earlier, when Orson Wells did War of the Worlds, he got harsh criticism for it. People literally burned Beatles records.

WTF????


War of the Worlds was in like, 1938?????

I didn't know the Beatles were around back then!!!

 

[Howey]

the man is in his 80s and didn't use a teleprompter or script

Sorry to bust your bubble, but the "bit" was scripted and when he refused the teleprompter he went all senile and forgot the words.

Senior moment!

Fact: While Ryan tried to pin the downgrade of the United States’ credit rating on spending under President Obama, the credit rating was actually downgraded because Republicans threatened not to raise the debt ceiling.

Nope... not a fact. The credit downgrade was a result of continued trillion-dollar annual deficits which Congress refused to address. You can have a difference of opinion, but that doesn't mean there is a different set of facts.

Fact: While Ryan blamed President Obama for the shut down of a GM plant in Janesville, Wisconsin, the plant was actually closed under President George W. Bush [FALSE] Ryan actually asked for federal spending to save the plant, while Romney has criticized the auto industry bailout that President Obama ultimately enacted to prevent other plants from closing.

Obama promised in his campaign, the embattled Janesville plant which had undergone a downsizing, would be spared. HE LIED.

The multi-billion dollar bailout to GM went largely to construct 11 assembly facilities and 2,700 dealerships in CHINA!

Fact: Though Ryan insisted that President Obama wants to give all the credit for private sector success to government, that isn't what the president said. Period.

YES... IT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID! "You didn't build that!" ...It's exactly what that means, IDIOT!

Fact: Though Paul Ryan accused President Obama of taking $716 billion out of Medicare, the fact is that that amount was savings in Medicare reimbursement rates... [FALSE]

You want to call a draconian cut in Medicare funding "A SAVINGS" ....that's the only LIE being told here.

And then there’s what Ryan didn’t talk about.

Ahh.... Yeah, well.... Ryan might very well have "Lied" about things he didn't talk about... that's some liberal brilliance there!
