"I am who I am"? Romney is called "Etch a Sketch" for a reason! What he DIDN'T SAY was WTF he planned to do any different than Obama!
He's NOT getting out of Afghanistan any faster and he is more than ready to START a NEW WAR with Iran!
Every weekend I WAIT for you to ask the TOUGH QUESTIONS of the Republicans and every week I am disappointed. You are not tough like Tim Russert! For God's sake David WHEN will you report like a real reporter instead of a look alike to Cheeta?
I watch Sundays, and I think MTP needs to ask the hard to answer questions - the ones that require substance in the replies without the BS from soft-soap merchants.
As a viewer home watching this from my Computer, I didn't get a vision to re-unite the country, especially at the time when it is so clear that who ever wins may not be able to govern after such a virulent campaign.
We saw the candidate's big family, but we needed to see him come back from the podium and hug a few more people. They spent the whole night telling us how he is a very warm and loving grand parent, we needed to see him hugging his grand kids and singing the last song with arms around each other. To show Romney as an open person by the many speeches was good but his luck of spontaneity made the whole thing look staged. You could see Ryan running after the kids on the podium, I would have loved to see Romney do the same. To the very end, it looked like Ryan wanted him to go back through the convention delegates and it may be a decisions he will regret.
More disturbing however, was his ideas on foreign policy. He antagonized a foreign head of state with the second largest pile of nuclear weapons in what can only be perceived as lack of preparation. Iran is an old song and Russia is way older, he needed to sell his vision of the US in the world the way he did his business credentials and he failed. While in business you take some risks, with some success and failures, I don't think a US president should take any risks with another potential nuclear stalemate with Russia over the next four years.
In conclusion, I am sold on Romney the husband, father, grandfather, church elder and corporate executive. I am however not sold on Romney President. His job will not be to take other people's money and invest it in venture enterprises; it would be to lead the greatest army on the planet and a very divided country in a very dangerous world. Wishing for a Russian enemy of decades past will not do the trick. He needs to see a little more complexity and a little more assertive to both his handlers and his party.
NO specifics on his plans for the country... just more image creation. When will the press hold these candidates responsible for their obscure policy ideas and the untruths they use for sound bites. I don't see hard questions for guests on Meet the Press. Where is Tim Russert when we need him?
Mr. Eastwood showed much disrespect for this President, who by the way Clint, does not curse...his people all know this. What makes me sad and ask this question....if you do not like who wins...do you refuse to work with him as the republicans did? Is this the new policy or plans for the future...so if Romney wins and we do not like him...do we not work with him? If this country has not progressed as it should have...republicans can share some of the blame. When they allow an infrastructure bill to sit 11 months just because they don't want a President to succeed...how American is this? By the way Mitt...your sentence about if we want to get big things done..we need an American was not only insulting but incorrect. This American, Obama, had no problem submitting his taxes willingly to have them gone over while, you, my friend are still holding yours up and are refusing to show more than two years. And,by the way are saying they wont be ready until the end of Oct.....isnt this election in the beginning of Nov? How clever of you, Mitt...just what are you hiding? This American President Obama has no problems showing his taxes but you have most of your money in foreign banks and in the CAymen Islands not to pay taxes to the country you now want to run??? Wow and you call Obama unAmerican?
Do I really care about what you think David...personally no.But for you to decry that Mitt Romney delivered tonight is terrible.I was floored at Romney mocking rising seas and climate change,his careless joke left me shocked. Is that your idea of a great man?
David, Milk toast summary! WHy didn't you mention the out right lies told? You just have no backbone. This entire convention was loaded with lies, misrepresentations about the people in office. I agree that Obama has disappointed in many ways, but the fault doesn't entirely rest as his feet. Congress who is supposed to work for the people have stone walled the president for the control of the white house while the public is suffering. The republicans decided to throw the casualties of this depression under the bus for CONTROL! The teaparty high jacked the republicans along with the Koch brothers and Norquist! The republicans left office NOT PAYING for the 2 wars, and Medicare part D. They used the credit card and left office leaving the bill to arrive with the next president!!! Who ever has a war and doesn't pay for it??? You have yet to challenge any of your guests on these issues. And, while having a "do nothing" congress Obama has managed to eek out some accomplishments. I think you need to go back to journalism 101 and review the parts where you actively challenge those who lie to your face! You are no Tim Russert!
Contessa612...Remember the GOP has a lot of money from the Koch brothers and super pac's. Enough money can buy off a lot of people into doing anything and that's what your seeing here. That's what the world and the people are coming to. I agree with you 100%. Obama 2012
I watched the convention for at least 20 minutes. I wanted to see what he Romney was all about. I was not surprised that he really has nothing to talk about. Funny how he puts the President down, Because I see he doesnt really know any thing about what this country is. It was Bush that put us were we were when the President took over, I can not trust a Repulican. sorry! If you do your research you will find out how much has changed for the better. Not perfect, but better. In a possitive direction. I will be voting for President Obama!
As an Independent, I have no party loyalties. I think that you have to answer several questions yourself. And remember I'm not sold yet on who to vote for, lime several here in the pists that will just vote because of the party.
Has this president closed Gitmo
Has this president increased the labor pool
Has this president stopped the war in Afganistan
Has this president reduced the national Debt
has ths president increased emplyment or increased unemployment
And I remind you that these were his promises to me!
I don't waste me vote on a candidate because of commercials or my hatred for the other party. I have not decided to vote again for Obama either. My question is will he duplicate the next four years after his last four years, and trust trust me you can't continue to blame all of his actions on Bush. The man has added more National Debt than all other Presidents combined....Check out snoopes. I vote for what is good for America not what is good for my party. Because if America doesn't exist.......my part doesn't exist........and MY VOTE DOESN'T COUNT!!!!! I have not decided yet but I'm close and because my vote counts to me.... O.K. I'm ready for your attcks...that seems to be the norm when one side is getting their butts kicked by the other!
Here comes Romney giving us his promises of how save us from Obama's fail; but his receipe is the miracles of free enterprise, the importance of private business in the economy, etc. Nothing new but the great ideals of a party of business, how fail with Bush in giving prosperity to the american families; it is up to the american public to see if the see that both parties have nothing to give them and what is required is mass movilizations demanding fair paid jobs and real government for the people.
As a women, I commend Newt for his comments about the abortion issue. I am very disappointed with David and the others and how they could again try to state that most women believe in late term abortion. Shame on you! I am sick of the liberal slant that is on your show! I am grateful that Newt speaks for me and millions of other women who happen to appreciate his view.
As a woman, I want to commend Newt on his view on abortion. Millions of women feel the same way. I am very disappointed with the libral view of David and the others who do not speak for me or the women I know........Shame on all of you! Thank you Newt for being my voice!
RNC, CAST OF CHARACTERS [ Ann Romney] as the Stepford wife looked as nervous as a whore in church [I mean the Mormon Temple] nervous laughter hiding layers of bullMitt What did Mitt do when her parents left ? made extra rips in the magic underwear . Condi Rice as the Black female joker . Hit the stage with more lipstick on her teeth and tongue than lips.Told the story of how she was denied one Americas great delicacies ,a Woolworth hamburger Chris Christie as Fatty Arbuckle looked like he was never denied a Woolworth's hamburger or for that matter any hamburger. History was made here twice .First it took him sixteen minutes to utter Mitty's name ,second it was the first time in forty odd years he ever uttered the word [enough] I can't' imagine when he bends to tie his shoe how his genitals become obscured by total darkness[ Paul Lyin ass Ryan ] as the lying ass Republican elitist and distorter of all things factual. He had the audacity to lie about his running time so only his God and he know what this sack tapper could have in store for all the other people on this planet. [ Mark Rubio ] as the Castro sympathizer ,hey if they can lie so can I . Clint Eastwood as the spokesperson for Mitty and Depends adult diapers. Gave an off the cuff sixteen minute un vetted speech insulting the president and the GOP [their insult being exposed as a once great political party reduced to his senile rambling.] Last but not least the star of the show [The most unlikeable unthinkable unattainable, unattached magic underweared unfiltered unaffiliated and unbearable man to ever declare himself fit to run a company ,I mean country in to the ground. He touched on everything and said absolutely nothing. He got some of the pee party idiots on their feet at the mention of going back to the stone age when gays were you fill it in and blacks were [you fill it in I can't say it and anyone else who doesn't subscribe to his favorite flavor of Kool Aid he would have you drink. Mitt you are not a warm hearted kind man of God but I say rather an out of touch bigoted flip flopping liar willing to hold down any good for the common man. You need to be richer and richer until it is unthinkable what you could possibly gain . You won't die with it and God forbid if there is a judgement day take cover all you supporters, there will probably be enough arrows bullets fire and brimstone to wipe you all out . Please let this election be over so you can go back to being a bad political footnote. You can't win because Ohio won't vote for you although you have tried in an underhanded way to pass voter suppression. Break a leg Mitty and I mean that literally
Greetings. I am very astonished that nobody questioned Carl Fiorina when she said the KeystoneXL would provide a million jobs. It has been reported by independent Cornell study that more jobs would come from alternatives and most for Keystone would be part time less than 10% of what she said. This is a devastating project for humanity and as the scientists reported not in the best interest of America or the World. Please do not let her get away with the misrepresentation has been the rule for the carbon/TarSands industry and the corruption of our government. Thank you.
Garth Lenz: The true cost of oil | Video on TED.com Please watch and report about the distortions rampant as show this morning when Carla Fiorina said this was widely believed to provide a million jobs. From Cornell University independent study the number is a small fraction and part time. Yet alternatives and efficiencies would provide more jobs. The scientists say building the KeystoneXL would mean lights out to control global warming and as Kalamazoo Mi shows this TarSands is impossible to clean out of the water. It burns much dirtier and means vastly increasing lung problems for children and the elderly. Please so not ignore this issue as so many are suffering and it has just begun. Thank You.

biggest night of romney's life....make my day thanks clint....lmol.....wow what an embarrisment for romney campaign
"I am who I am"? Romney is called "Etch a Sketch" for a reason! What he DIDN'T SAY was WTF he planned to do any different than Obama!
He's NOT getting out of Afghanistan any faster and he is more than ready to START a NEW WAR with Iran!

I thought romney was good for romney...but OBAMA/Biden can do better.
Fluff and lies It''s a joke that he generalizes and changes his words to match the polls
very disappointed in Clint Eastwoods performance..seems strange, did they preview or
did they think it was just sound judgement?
very strange weird gop...creepy hatred
A disappointing finish to the convention.
