The Eastwood speech
« on: September 01, 2012, 05:15:06 PM »
All I have heard about since the other night is the Eastwood speech, how it is supposedly an embarrassment for the campaign, blah blah blah. You know what it means? They've got nothing. If that's the only angle they can attack from, then they're in total desperation mode.

I didn't hear the entire Eastwood bit, but what I did hear was pretty clever IMO. Sure he stammered at times, but how many older people don't? The cleverness of the bit indicates he's certainly not having any mental problems. Plus he's still Dirty Harry, which means he's still infinitely more badass than Mr. Mom-Jeans.

They've got nothing. They can't run on anything, and their attacks against Romney and Ryan just aren't sticking. All they've got left is the Flying Monkey brigade, crapping in their hands and slinging it at anything in the general vicinity. Headline after headline on Google News about Eastwood's speech proves it.

And racismracismracismracism ........

Even some conservatives didn't get Eastwood's schtick; that's on them.  Some say the stammering around a bit was him channeling Jimmy Stewart and the invisible Harvey.  All I know is, and I saw it all, when he had a punch to deliver to Obongo, it came out articulate and firm.

They can't talk about issues because on the issues they lose. So they have to get personal.
Eastwood was great.

I am just glad to see the GOP actually using the Alinsky tactics and fighting back - finally.
Nothing says "no more Mr. Nice guy"  better than Clint Eastwood.
I still thing its too little to late, but hey, maybe I am wrong. If I am I will be so happy. Yeah, laugh all you want at me buying and improving a teotwawki place - if my country and my freedoms somehow end up safe, its worth a lot of ridicule to me.

Nobody's laughing at you, silly person.  Why would you think that of us?  I admire your hard work and tenacity; others have said the same.  What you've put in motion there at your teotwawki place will stay in motion with some TLC.  You're an inspiration, you and Michelleo.

Eastwood talks like that anyway. He was a little slower than he used to be but he's always been like that when off scrip.

I think too some people were expecting a speech rather than a performance but he's not Charleton Heston.

I got a kick out of it.

Contrast Eastwood's excellent peice of tasteful satire with this sad peice of bovine excrement!

The hate is palpable...these people are unhinged...and they think this crap is humorous?  These are some sick and desperate low-life's we are witnessing here.

Talk about smelling sulfur...Dem's reek of it.

Clint Eastwood is interviewed by the Carmel Pine Cone and it explains a lot. Read the entire thing.

“President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people,” Eastwood told The Pine Cone this week. “Romney and Ryan would do a much better job running the country, and that’s what everybody needs to know. I may have irritated a lot of the lefties, but I was aiming for people in the middle.”

...Eastwood is a liberal on social issues such as gay marriage and abortion, but he has strongly conservative opinions about the colossal national debt that has accumulated while Obama has been president, his failure to get unemployment below 6 percent, and a host of other economic issues.

“Even people on the liberal side are starting to worry about going off a fiscal cliff,” Eastwood said.

Interesting interview.

Also interesting was the reaction to his presentation (I can't call it a speech). The left was horrified at an icon criticizing the ØbaMessiah so they dinged him on style-points. The funny thing is that his extemporaneous talk wasn't any more disjointed, rambling, or stilted than Øbozo's highly scripted ones.

Funny how a simple last minute idea can take a nation by storm and result in so much discussion and people copying his idea.  I'd say the inspiration worked just fine.   ::thumbsup::

I see.  So, even the pundits on our side were wrong about the "how" and "who Clint was channeling" and it doesn't matter.  The man had a plan, if not a script, and it was the talk of the town.  Doddering, my ass.

President Romney's first act of foreign policy should be to phone the British Prime Minister and ask that the bust of Churchill be sent back for display in the White House.

That very thought occurred to me back when the left was trying to drum up the meme that Romney's visit to Great Britain was gaffe-tastic. IMO Romney could have easily killed it in its tracks by making that simple, honest, and noble gesture.
