Republican Convention Day 3

So what can I say? The bad thing about Sarah Palin's speech is that it will turn out to be much better than McRINO's.

Let's talk about the heavyweights first. Max Headroom Mitt Romney made an OK speech. I actually think that of all the people running, he is the most qualified.

Huckabee was good. What do you expect? He's another slick politician from Hope Arkansas.

Giuliani had way too much fun. He really enjoyed himself. What I liked about him was that he didn't look like he was giving a speech, but just talking off the top of his head. He was the one who really threw out the red meat for the party faithful.

Didja notice Cindy McCain holding little Trig? This is a woman who really loves children. I'm trying to picture Thunder Rodent Thighs doing that and really meaning it. Nope. Can't picture it.

Then came the moment we were really waiting for. Could Sarah deliver? Yes she can! In the most important speech of her life up to this time, she delivered.

She was nervous at first and her timing was a little off. She was stepping on some of her applause lines. But as she went on, her timing got better. She was spot on with the jet plane. She said it was "over the top". She waited just the right amount of time and then said, "I put it on eBay."

The hockey mom joke was great! Extemporaneous or planned? Doesn't matter. Delivered well.

Did she have problems with the TelePrompTer? I saw her looking down at the podium at her notes a few times. It didn't affect her delivery.

As the speech went on she got better, and she did it with a smile.

John Hawkins has excerpts of the speech on his site.

And it turns out that mean old Sarah, the pitbull with lipstick, is is picking on Harry Reid.

Maybe instead of a barracuda, Sarah is a piranha. Maybe she is Doug Piranha.

Vercotti: Doug (takes a drink) I was terrified of him. Everyone was terrified of Doug. I've seen grown men pull their own heads off rather than see Doug. Even Dinsdale was frightened of Doug.

Interviewer: What did he do?

Vercotti: He used sarcasm. He knew all the tricks, dramatic irony, metaphor, bathos, puns, parody, litotes and satire.

Poor widdle Harry.

Tina sent me the following:

Powerful Women's Motto:
Live your life in such a way that
when your feet hit the floor in the morning,
Satan shudders & says...
'Oh shit.....she's awake!!''

Don't know about Satan but already it looks like Harry Reid is afraid of her.

OH! Denny ... I've got to borrow that poem and give it to my friend Karen. Fits her perfectly!

Posted by: PeggyU on September 4, 2008 03:47 PM

Who cares (besides the TelePrompTer readers in the LSM) that it wasn't polished? What she said is more important than how she said it. I think I'm in love...

Posted by: John in May-retta on September 4, 2008 05:27 PM

Yes, her teleprompter kept rolling through the applause so the speech she was to give was already gone.

She gave the speech without the teleprompter. That's why she was looking down her her notes.

The same thing happened to Rudy, but he was having so much fun, I read that he ad libbed a lot, as did Sarah.

Romney would make a great economic advisor in a cabinet post.....I hope.

I wish the Repubs would just continue the pitbull approach and keep pouring it on.

Do nothing congress

Obama has no experience. The community organisor/mayor has responsibilities joke hit home big time.

The Dems can not take such critisim. The only line they now all fall back on is the, 4 more years of Bush/Cheney bullshit.

Harry Reid is a wimp anyway. He's the type that throws a jab and then runs away.

Palin: wrong woman, wrong message

Sarah Palin shares nothing but a chromosome with Hillary Clinton. She is Phyllis Schlafly, only younger.

Phyllis Schlafly? And we should have a problem with that ... why?

Between Rudy abd Sarah, they didn't just serve red meat, they killed a cow

Posted by: gil on September 4, 2008 06:21 PM

Gil: They killed a cow and served it up raw? That's ok. I imagine Obama and co. are having a herd of cows about now.

I loved Fred's comment on her the other night.

"And I can say without fear of contradiction that she is the only nominee in the history of either party who knows how to properly field dress a moose ... with the possible exception of Teddy Roosevelt,"

Field dress a moose.That's my kinda chick!

Denny, have you been in Dallas today????

Posted by: mrchuck on September 4, 2008 09:08 PM

I left my opinion a few ticks down, and won't repeat it here. I think Palin speaks worlds about Mccain and his Maverick methods. He picked the one I said last year I wish they would clone and fill a few choice positons with.

The dims are going to get their ass whipped in November. Soon the Iraq vets will be back and start going into public office. Whites will soon be the minority. The dims will soon be done forever.

Posted by: vetfromhell on September 4, 2008 09:47 PM

Sarah Palin needed no teleprompter for the eloquence and confidence in her voice, the warmth in her smile, the secure determination in her attitude, the ironic tone in her valid attacks.

No teleprompter was needed to show the world her fierce pride in her husband and children, and the strength she derives from them.

Nobody could program this young women. Nobody needs to.

Posted by: Claudia on September 4, 2008 10:00 PM

Sarah should be ashamed of herself for putting her political gains above her children. And every working Mom knows what I am talking about. She has 5 children and one with special needs. How much will she be there for them if she gets the VP?

Correcting the last line: woman for women.

Posted by: Claudia on September 4, 2008 10:11 PM

Okay, here's a word from an Alaskan, to Teresa: Sarah Palin hasn't abandoned her family. They stay with her when she's in Juneau, as long as they want. As VP, they will all live in the VP's mansion. What a chauvinistic thing for you to say! What makes Todd incapable of caring for the two small kids that still require active, hands-on parenting? Their oldest boy is in the Army, which most likely makes "parenting" moot, other than being concerned for his well-being. Give me a break.

Posted by: Rev. Paul on September 4, 2008 10:20 PM

THDO:

"putting her political gains above her children."

i guess you missed Denny's post two down from this one titled Seal Up Them Cracks:

"[Femtards have] also said that women could have it all: marriage, children, and a successful career.

"I am woman, hear me roar."

Time to spin on a dime again.

In Sarah Palin we have what the feminists have been wanting for years. A role model for young women everywhere. A woman who does have it all: A loving and supportive husband; Five children; A successful career. And what do the femtards want for Sarah Palin? They want her to be a stay at home mom. When did this shit start? When did the femtards want women to stay at home? What next? Barefoot and pregnant?"

did you do that on purpose, theresa?

Posted by: Pip on September 4, 2008 10:21 PM

Hide the spoons from Rosie O'Donnell. I think the fat lady is singing or screaming...Mc Cain will be up 40 points tomorrow..lol

Posted by: vetfromhell on September 4, 2008 10:30 PM

Claudia ~ well said. Thanks Denny and Don for the Harry Reid bit. I loathe that little bitch.

TDH Sheehan O - wtf does that even mean?

Posted by: patrick on September 4, 2008 10:55 PM

I'm standing with Denny and all the other vets. BARRACUDA Kos Kids :)

Posted by: vetfromhell on September 4, 2008 11:10 PM

Mr. Chuck - I would have used a gun.

TDHO - It must really piss you off to see someone more feminine than you, smarter than you, more successful than you, and has a loving husband to boot. She's everything you aren't. It must really suck to be such a bitter bitch.

Posted by: Denny on September 4, 2008 11:25 PM

Teresa...Hillary...put the gun down.

Posted by: vetfromhell on September 4, 2008 11:39 PM

TDHO -

You're worrying about Sarah Palin's children? I can assure you that this young woman has enough vitality and intelligence to meet the needs of her family.

I worry about your family, Teresa. What do they get from a depressed, bitter woman who has to come to this blog, every other week, and write message of hate about her country? What can they learn from you? It's so sad!

Posted by: Claudia on September 5, 2008 12:05 AM

Claudia-
TDHO is worried about nothing except McRino/Palin '08. I bet after last night, it's keeping her awake until the wee hours tossing and turning in her cold bed. TDHO isn't happy unless she can complain about a "repuke" in some fashion. She is a die-hard bed-wetting liberal through and through who does nothing but whine about anything and everything conservative. In other words, she's an idiot.

Allow me to take you to someplace I'm fairly sure the majority of you have never been:

Have you ever been aboard perhaps an FFG, or maybe an LPH or LPA? Maybe an LHA?

Occasionally, an Oiler pulls up along side. Lines, pipes, and ropes are exchanged aboard.

Abeam, there is the transfer of mail, fuel, milk and maybe even movies. Sometimes, someone going ashore on Emergency Leave is piped outward even as the 'new guy' is piped aboard.

My presence on this blog comes from that understanding & experience.

In all those exchanges, I never encountered personal attacks as I do here.

You may disagree with what I say and even how I might express it, but you have NO RIGHT to attack me on a personal basis if I'm doing my job.

And I AM doing my job; to Great Acclaim by those affected.

I'm getting a little sick of the likes of Claudia attacking me personally on the basis of that she does not like what I say.

Attack me all you want on the merit of my opinion; DO NOT attack me on the basis of my personality without knowing that personality!

Yannow what? I DON'T always agree with what YOU have to say! But I'm fairly sure I've never attacked your right to say what you say.

One step further: I have ALWAYS taken what you post as being something honest & worth consideration. Quid Pro Quo mean anything at all to you Sailors coming abeam My Ship?

Didn't think so.

Fair enuff' I've been readin' & writin' here since August of '02. I'll aim for tellin' y'all to go fuck yourselves 'round 2012.

Consider the above as but movies piped aboard at Sea.

Hey DanS...ffg.lph.lha?????
Did ya' have AlphaBits for breakfast this morning???
You remind me of Ward Churchill...the only time I have seen him talk he used words he could only hope would disguise his stupidity!!

same with you!!!

as for Sarah Palin!!!!

let them rave on....the more they do the Bigger the hole they dig for diving...
and it only shows how scared they truly are!!!

"The dims are going to get their ass whipped in November. Soon the Iraq vets will be back and start going into public office. Whites will soon be the minority. The dims will soon be done forever."

VFH, I agree with your post above, but worry about one thing. When whites do become the minority, I fear that it will be more likely that the Dim's will have a resurgence. It is the minority population of this country that's draining it's welfare programs coffers. It is this population that is causing great cost to taxpayers for their special "needs" (example, publications made multilingual, special instructors to speak their language, 4th and 5th generation welfare recipients. So the "angy white voter" such as myself has more to fear from this change and the possibility of the Dims actually becoming some force to be reckoned with. Maybe the race war someone predicted when JugEar loses will allow this country to wake up and take it back for our forefathers.

TDHO - I thought about responding with something smart like Denny, Pip and Claudia, but I decided that you would best understand my sentiments if I kept them on your level. Go. Fuck. Yourself.

Posted by: JackieD on September 5, 2008 09:00 AM

The Daily Dudley....

TDHO....Shame on Sarah for being a working mom, having 5 kids, one with special need`s & not staying home???? Guess what,your advice is not wanted , appreciated or will have impact for the candidacy of Sarah Palin. She is a dynamite woman who follow`s her own counsel. In comparison ....you are a popcorn fart who won`t listen to advice or use common sense.

DanS....As a friend & I mean to be one ,if you do not like to be critized with what you consider personal attacks,then maybe you had ought review some of what you post from time to time. You wield a wicked keystroke yourself at times but this is a website which allow`s for pushing the boundary of decency or respect....besides much of the time your rant`s seem to be under some kind of influence which affects your better judgement or common sense.Anyway you after the years you have posted here should be aware of the likelihood of receiving a barbed spear when you shoot a small arrow at others.

Posted by: dudley1 on September 5, 2008 10:28 AM

DanS -

I have always respected your services to your country.

I never spoke to you unless you asked me a question directly. I don't know you except by what you post here.If you take it as a personal attack when I tell you that, most of the time, I can't rationalize your thinking, yes, I have said it. Your comment just above is even more confused than ever. Maybe Dudley1 will be able to decipher what you're trying to say.

As for me, I'm out of it. I won't lose one more minute reading what you write here. I have friends who are liberal, who express their opinions clearly, and with whom I can have intelligent discussions.

Posted by: Claudia on September 5, 2008 10:30 AM

DanS - I've been on an LSD and an LST. Does that count? And yes, I've been aboard for fuel and replenishment at sea. As for personal name calling, I've simply pointed out when you write after abusing some sort of substance. I've given you more leeway in comment hijacking than any other commenter on this site. You bring many of the personal attacks on yourself with your partisan and sometimes over the top comments.

Posted by: Denny on September 5, 2008 11:59 AM

LPD13, USS Trenton. My bunk was directly under a 12" steam pipe.

Vertreps, sidereps, GQ for a week straight. Was at sea for the longest line periods since WWII on USS Carl Vinson, USS Independence, USS New Jersey. Spent the entire year of 1983 and half of 1984 deployed. And most dims I have come across on this blog have been assholes. If the smelly brown orifice fits, wear it.

Yeah Ray, could be right. I will be in the ground then. Black reporters are already threatening riots if obamaclown does not win. It's Rodney King all over again. Affirmative action paved the way for this reverse racism bullshit.

Posted by: vetfromhell on September 5, 2008 12:17 PM

Hell, Harry Reid had better be afraid of Sarah.
She's a better man than he is.
You know what they call people like Harry Reid in Alaska?
Grizzly canapes.

Posted by: Tbird on September 5, 2008 12:19 PM

DanS - it was only about 6 months ago you told us all to fvck off and die......is someone off the wagon?

I think it was either Kerrcarto or the vet that said one time that you are "crazier then a shit house rat." rant on, but the martyr had just doesn't fit.

Posted by: patrick on September 5, 2008 01:18 PM

JackieD,

I like the way you think in regards to telling off the TDO! I know how you feel,she has only about 7 brain cells and will never ever learn. She is clearly a masochist to keep coming back here for the abuse.
