Ok, so that Clint Eastwood thing didn't work out very well...

One very strong reason that Clint's rambling and rather incoherent talk (can't give it the designation of 'speech') is still being discussed is the fact that it has become a prime image of the present-day GOP: Old, mostly out of touch and white with little understanding of the modern world.

The disconnect from younger Americans the GOP displayed is nicely exemplified by the Twitter account that was established within minutes of Eastwood's talk - @InvisibleObama

wrong again, somer. the young are very active in the GOP, the young loved Eastwood's talk. College Republican National Committee - Home - College Republican National Committee

in an attempt to say I'm some crazy, out of touch, socialist weirdo, Bobcat provides a shining example of the absolutist type of thought found in far too many on the right.

"See", he says, "There are young Republicans!" The problem for the rapidly aging GOP is that many of those Young Republicans are of the Ron Paul school of thought, they often strongly disagree with the mainstream GOP on social issues. Social issues that resonate quite strongly with the vast majority of the Republican Party as shown by the number of top Republicans, including Paul Ryan, who showed up at the Values Voters convention this past week. Also, Young Republicans remain a small minority on college campuses.

A couple of examples of the disconnect that the GOP is fighting
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Matt Hoagland, the county leader of a group of young North Carolina Republicans, is busy trying to ramp up enthusiasm for Mitt Romney at the grass-roots level. So there are a few things he avoids mentioning to prospective young voters he wants to woo, including the hot-button topics like abortion and same-sex marriage, which have dominated campaigns past.

“Social issues are far down the priorities list, and I think that’s the trend,” Mr. Hoagland, 27, said. “That’s where it needs to go if the Republican Party is going to be successful.”

Zoey Kotzambasis, vice president of the College Republicans at the University of Arizona, considers herself a conservative. But she supports both same-sex marriage and abortion rights. Those are not just her opinions.

“A lot of the College Republicans I know share the same liberal-to-moderate social views,” she added. “And I think that’s changing the face of the party.”

an article from January of this year
Why does the oldest Republican in the race attract the youngest supporters?

... the core of Olofson’s support for Paul can’t be boiled down to a single issue—and it’s the same for other young Paul followers. “The bottom line,” Olofson told me, “is that Paul has a set model for what he believes. He isn’t swaying all over the place like the rest of these politicians.”

Hmmmm, that young Ron Paul supporter would seem to be a problem for the flip-flopping Romney

Gallup polls show consistent support by the young for the President while seniors support Romney
 
Maybe you missed the guy who spoke after Eastwood and he boasted about his Mormon church and family values. Just thought it odd to have a warm-up speaker before Romney be a comic from a local strip club. but oh well.

When liberals clean up their own camp then they can complain...Until then talk to the hand.
 
Sure I would. You would be mistaken if you think I don't do that kind of work. You have very inaccurate stereotypes running around in that head of yours.

So if you do the work why are you still not doing as well as you want
 
LOL...

This thread is 50+ pages long and the squealing from the pigs... I mean Libs is hilarious. The 10 minutes of undressing Obama still gets discussed. It's memorable.

He did a masterful job illustrating Obama is empty, incompetent and need be fired. And it made people laugh. That was the biggest piss off for Obama and his buckeroos.

PS. I know Orwell's 1984... strange a lib would be one to attempt to quote from it. Obama's 08 campaign was all about hollowness, deception... Newspeak... something you Socialists are masters of.

Orwell's book is not about liberalism. It is about the oligarchy made up of conservative capitalists.

The word liberal comes from the word "free". Read the dictionary. Rush Limbaugh is not a dictionary, btw.

Who said I wasn't? You make a lot of leaps TD. I'm doing fine. And I've said I would be more than willing to pay more. Do you read what I write?

This is too funny!

With all the righties defending Eastwood's bizarre performance at the RNC -- Even Eastwood calls Republicans "dumb" for inviting him to speak!

Clint Eastwood Calls Republicans 'Dumb' For Letting Him Speak At The Republican National Convention

Clint Eastwood called Republicans "dumb" for letting him speak at the Republican National Convention last month.

In an interview with Extra, the celebrated actor and director tells reporter Jerry Penacoli, "If somebody's dumb enough to ask me to go to a political convention and say something, they're gonna have to take what they get."

Clint's rambles didn't come close to booing God. The dems won the battle of outlandish convention behavior.

Not sure what that has to do with Eastwood calling Republicans, "dumb," but anyway, Democrats did not boo G-d. They booed the passage of a vote that clearly did not meet the 2/3rds required for passage.
 
ROTFLOL...

That Clint thang worked so badly it made the cover of the recent New Yorker:
Cover Story: The First Presidential Debate : The New Yorker

Now try to tell us Clint wasn't effective.
Obama will forever be associated with a hapless chair.

Obama lives up to Eastwood's portrayal... except the chair was more effective in rebuttal.

The cover - and Obama's debate performance - could be seen as a degree of vindication for the Romney advisers who gave Eastwood a prime-time slot on the final night of the Republican convention in Tampa and allowed him to ad-lib his speech.

At the time, senior Republicans were livid with some calling for top Romney aides to be fired. But although Eastwood's improv show was panned by the media, he appears to have created an enduring motif representing Obama - and one that has now been embraced to a large extent by the liberal establishment.

So there Libs... a bit of political history that will stick through the ages... like Reagan's Bear ad... Dukakis as a military Mickey Mouse... Gary Hart with Rice in his throat... the waging finger and the GAP dress...
 
"Eastwooding" is now the rage with mainstream pundits who see Clint as almost prophetic. Obama is forever tatooed as the 'empty chair' after his dismal Wednesday perfomance. Does a liberal sycophant wanna touch this ?

Eighty Deuce,

There was what... 54-pages of glowing hot pokers being rammed at Romney and Clint with bare hands... because Clint was so effective, and the Lefties thought they had something.

WRONG... the proof being...

NOW... there are a ton of 10-foot poles waiting for the same Lefties to take just a poke at Clint and Romney... but the real Obama... that damned chair reared its wobbly legs in Debate 1.

Ramirez pretty much nailed it... Clint didn't go far enough... he should have had a baby chair with a soother in place of a microphone.
