Hey, you wanna do a writeup on your opinion of the thing mate?

I wanna see how the "rank and file" feel, not the usual "hardcore republican" blogs, or the "mainstream" media

Ha! I enjoyed this.

I was not really looking to start a debate, was asking if anyone from subsim was there.This was my first convention was an adult really, it was a great time, definitely worth missing a few classes.

Have to say Clint Eastwood put on quite a show.

I adore Clint, but that was embarrasing. However, what I found the most interesting is the complaints that politics have become too formulaic and scripted. Now we see why that is the case.

Ever notice that when Hollywood types make their liberal leanings known, they're skewered mercilessly and told to shut the hell up and (sing/act/dance/directing films), but when Eastwood does it, he's the toast of the Republican Party?

Eastwood should shut the hell up and go back to acting and directing. As should Clooney. And on and on.

You got to counter the merciless activism of liberal icon Sean Penn somehow. Who better than Dirty Harry? :)

It was a shame, you would have thought an actor could give a better performance.
Unless of course he was aiming at playing a role of "confused rambling old man who got lost on the day trip from the care home"

The odd thing is this coming from a party which idolizes a mediocre actor who turned out to be an even worse president.

Fame should never be a criteria to give somebody's opinion less or more weight, they should be judged by the words they utter.
I am also often pissed off by the intellectual diarherra that many celebs state, however they have the same right to state their opinion as an accountant or a plumber (if the latter doesn't go by the name Joe ;))

It kinda made me cringe, as I am a huge fan.

It almost felt like when I learned Santa wasn't real. (sometime last year)

Not a disrespect towards Clint, as I have loved everything he has from his "spaghetti western" days to his writer director days.

If I didn't know any better, I would say the Elephants were trying to drive this election into the ground to make it easier for Chris Christie to win in 2016. I am looking for a reason to vote republican, but my write in for Lady Gaga I always joked about still stands.:hmph:

Soopa - you can always consider writing in my name......

I say that honestly - but before you do, ask me about issues (I won't say a word about the previous administration's successes or failures). I will give you my honest view on what I think we as a nation need to do on each.
