RNC Convention

[Back]

Anyone voting for T. Boone Pickens?

[Gan]

I like Pickens. I support his plan. However, I dont think he's up for any nomination during the RNC.

Which makes me wonder why you created this thread...

Then again, I'm not smoking anything.

Hows it going so far?

Watching Guillani now. Something I thought was funny was him slamming liberal media when he has been on SNL.

[Apathy]

Watching Guiliani's (sp) speech right now, and it's making me pull my hair out. I'm pretty sure they gave him a checklist of popular bullshit talking points to hit on for the ignorant and he's nailing every one of them. I think it's a shame because he's a pretty smart fellow. le sigh

Sorry, this has nothing to do with tonight.

I've always thought Guiliani's a weak speaker..

[Parkbandit]

Well Palin.. now is your chance to impress.

(God she's hot for a politician...)

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

Hell yeah she is, and mother of five. Her daughters are pretty hot too.

One a more serious note... ANYONE is a better speaker than GWB, goddamn he's a horrible speaker.

She left out her pregnant daughter. Not that I expected her to bring it up obviously, but she just opened the door. Ugh.

Very good speech so far. She may have been a better presidential nominee than McCain.

[Back]

Whoops, it just jumped into the theatre of the absurd. And false.

She had such potential.

[Kembal]

While I'm finding this speech terrible in terms of speaking ability, I'll grant that I'm biased.

However, she just said the dumbest thing possible: "If a hurricane strike were to happen, we shouldn't be so dependent on foriegn oil that we should have to draw upon the strategic petroleum reserve." Huh? A hurricane strike knocks out oil from offshore drilling, not oil imports. Boats can go to another port.

(amusing part: the half-hearted cheer for when she said her husband is a union member)

[Apathy]

Lots of pot shots in her speech. She's good at playing to a crowd that's for sure.

[Apathy]

Also: did anyone else notice how little her accent was present during that speech?

[diethx]

She really is pretty cute.

[Mabus]

I support her more now then I did earlier today.

Wow.

Totally surprising!

Wow.

I was bored, seriously.

Her elocution drove me nuts. "r" instead of our, oyl instead of oil, stillworkers instead of steelworkers....it goes on...

I was listening on the internet and watching on MSNBC, she hummed in between comments while folks were responding, that was annoying as fuck.

It's Lank-a-ster not Lan-caster Ohio. Ohioans know the difference.

And then they trotted out the country stars Gretchen Wilson, Cowboy Troy and John Rich out there.

She looked great, Cindy McCain looked great. I'm sure it jazzed up the base, but I was underwhelmed.

I'm sure no surprise.

I'm reading the transcript and maybe it's because I've been working this issue: but Russia invaded Georgia for a pipeline? What hack job wrote that fucking line?

Uh..Russia has more oil than we do and they definitely don't sell fucking oil to the caucases. Perhaps this has something to do with Georgia being like the American west for Russia.

[Insodus]

Great speech by Palin.

Giuliani really tossed a lot of heat on the fire in his speech, but his hit it home for me...



Then he ran for the state legislature and he got elected. And nearly 130 times, he couldn't make a decision. He couldn't figure out whether to vote "yes" or "no." It was too tough.

He voted -- he voted "present."

I didn't know about this vote "present" when I was mayor of New York City. Sarah Palin didn't have this vote "present" when she was mayor or governor. You don't get "present." It doesn't work in an executive job. For president of the United States, it's not good enough to be present.

You have to make a decision.


Word.

[Gan]

Guiliani started out strong but finished weak and off the mark. :(

Yea, that's all the democrats can do about the speech is complain about the accent.

They try anything else and their fucked.

I wish someone would ask Palin where she got the names for her kids.

I guess that's better than not present: http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/members/m000303/votes/missed/

Poor elocution is not an accent.

I'm not a Dem, btw. Thanks for playing.

I don't have the time nor the inclination to list the points that were factually incorrect, I'll let the liberal media do that. ;)

It met its intended goal to jazz up the base. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[Parkbandit]

I thought the "Some candidates use Change to promote their careers.. and some candidates like John McCain who use their career to promote change" was great. The line about Obama being able to write 2 books, but no legislation was good as well.

If she wasn't so easy on the eyes.. I could see me getting bored listening to her. Loved her facial expression and her eyes.. but there's something about her voice that slightly irritates me.

All in all though, I think she did what she had to do. I think she missed a golden opportunity to play victim and to tell the liberal press that her kids are off limits though.

And the coverage of the speech on MSNBC is hilarious. I thought the butch lesbian liberal on the panel was going to cry about Palin insulting Obama.

[Hulkein]

I'm not a Dem, btw. Thanks for playing.

You left the boards after arguing for Kerry for months and come back four years later to argue for Obama... You're a Democrat whether you admit it or not.

[Daniel]

I'm reading transcripts of the convention because I don't have a TV in my new place. Can someone point me to a speech that outlines any sort of policy position besides Obama is a big poopy head and we need to drill for oil?

This is a serious request.

People do not all speak with an East coast pronunciation. The majority of this country, outside of the coasts, has some colloquial difference.

I found her inflection charming and realistic.


I was listening on the internet and watching on MSNBC,
Just like I call one station (FOX) "FAUX News", I call another (MSNBC) "MSDNC".

They are so low in ratings that they have decided to be the opposite "answer" to FAUX.

I posted months ago that I firmly believed Chris Matthews wanted to have Obama's love-child, and I still believe he does.


It's Lank-a-ster not Lan-caster Ohio. Ohioans know the difference.
I live in Ohio, and have been to the city several times. The locals pronounce it lan-cas-ter.

While the Russo-Georgian conflict is a complex system, she was likely refering to the Nabucco pipeline. Russia opposes it, as it will allow Europe a secondary means of gaining natural gas. That threatens Russia's state-controlled Gazprom's monopoly in Europe. Gazprom is building the competing South Stream pipeline.

There are other factors involved in the conflict; Russian domination of the region, threatening other former Soviet states, appeasing Russian hardliners, and pushing back against Nato expansion being a few.

Look at the current maps, and look for Russia's available ports into the Black Sea. It can be pretty telling on one reason (but not the only reason) the conflict happened.

(amusing part: the half-hearted cheer for when she said her husband is a union member)

Right a hurricane doesn't effect imports. Thats why shes saying we need more american drillling so when a hurricane or natural disaster hits. We need more american drilling to take up the slack from what does get hit. How often does alaska get hit with a hurricane? Or Cali? And yes a hurricane effects imports. How many oil tankers are going to dock in 15-20ft seas? Or lpg tankers? Delay by a day or two will make prices jump up one hell of a lot.

A big issue with offshore drilling in the Gulf IS hurricanes. A whole lot of stuff got savaged by Gustav.

[TheRunt]

I wish someone would ask Palin where she got the names for her kids.

And what you name your kids matter to how you would run our country? I'll agree I don't like her kids name but they don't matter. My daughters name was never in the top 10 in the nation and hasn't been in the top 20 for about 70 years. What does it matter?

Yeah something about her voice turns me off a bit also. But I think she did right by not playing the victim. If your going to be number 2 in the usa you can't be a victim. You have to be the boss. Playing the victim could backfire that shes too weak to be vp.

[Warriorbird]

Nothing... because a lot of folks (including two Presidential candidates) opposed it. The drilling that does occur there is much safer than what occurs in the Gulf in terms of weather.

I'm still not convinced we need to blow through all our capacity for short term gratification in ANWR, however.

Well, Piper and Willow are both witch names from teevee programs. And the other names are uncommon. Bristol probably refers to a geographic area in Alaska. I'm sure somebody will figure it out.

Can you find a source for the damage estimates (not production loss estimates) that the platforms in the Atlantis field where Gustov went through?

I can find insurance loss estimates but that includes production/manpower loss and not actual 'damage'.

Sorry.. I should have been more clear. When I say victim, I don't mean Hillary Clinton type victim.. starting to cry and say boo hoo, it's not fair!

You can be the 'victim' and state unoquivically that "My family is off limits to your hatchet job, bullshit, yellow journalism. You have an issue with me, take it up to me. But like any good mother, I'll defend my family with my last dying breath."

One thing I've always liked about the Republican convention compared to the Democrat convention is that the Republicans don't dance in the isles every time music plays over the loud speaker. The Republicans also dress nicer. Or at least that was true in past years.

But that seems to have changed in 2008. Many of the Republicans were slovenly dressed this year, abandoning their ties and high heels for t-shirts and baseball caps. And they were dancing--not well--in the isles to various country croons and antiquated pop tunes. It was disappointing to see them acting like Democrats.

All all all, all night long (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hihp_Jjdnsg) (if you click this link, you'll be singing it all day).

[Gan]

Funny, ywt when Gan says he's independent and we laugh at him for thinking he was anything but a Republican, we're wrong?

That depends on your definition of a Republican.

If you mean that Republicans also vote for Democrats then you are correct in your beliefe that I'm a Republican.

If your definition of a Republican is someone who always votes Republican ticket, then you're are incorrect. Since I've voted for Democrats in the past and will vote Democrat in the future.

So which is it?

[Daniel]

Who were the democrats?

[Warriorbird]

Interesting. I'd heard there was damage to a bunch of the onshore facilities that processed the stuff from out there. My fault for listening to hearsay I guess.

[Gan]

Who were the democrats?

Bill White - mayor of Houston

Plan on voting for him again. And will probably vote for him if he decides to run for Govenor.

A bevy of other city councilmen/women...

Bob Bullock - Lt. Govenor (fmr), state comptroller (fmr)...

I tend to be very 'Democratic' on the local level. Less so past the state level.

Forgot to mention Carole Strayhorn (I did not vote for Perry this last election).

[Gan]

So does that still make me a Republican?

I know, LETS MAKE A POLL!

Oh wait, I'm already a lying SOB, nothing else matters.

[ClydeR]

Interesting. I'd heard there was damage to a bunch of the onshore facilities that processed the stuff from out there. My fault for listening to hearsay I guess.

According to the President, Gustav does not appear to have done much damage, but it's too early to know for sure. "And so our discussion today is about energy. The Gulf Coast region produces a lot of energy for the United States. And we're now in the process of assessing any damage done to the infrastructure and what -- it's a little early right now to come up with a solid assessment. There are some encouraging signs. For example, during Katrina, rigs would be -- rigs moved because of the force of the storm and their anchors drug across pipelines, which caused there to be infrastructure damage. We didn't see much of that this time, although I will tell you that it's a little early to be making any forecasts," said (http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/09/20080902-1.html) Bush on Tuesday.

Gustav made landfall as a category 2 hurricane. Katrina was a category 3 when it made landfall. Both storms were stronger before they made landfall.

Katrina's damage to the oil industry in 2005 was partly to offshore rigs and pipelines but mainly to onshore facilities. Most of the spilt oil in 2005 was from onshore facilities.

[Daniel]

So does that still make me a Republican?



No idea. I'd have to look into who those people are, as I'm not too well versed in Texas politics. The reason why very few people believed that you would ever vote for Obama was because of your political views about the economy\foreign policy\ etc.

Since local and state levels do not focus largely on foreign policy, thats a fair assumption. Yet, locally, econonomic policies are a large factor in leadership and issues. And yet I still trend to vote for Democrat as well as Republican candidates - depending on my favor of one over the other.

I'd also argue that local politics in regards to the economy are a lot different as well. I'd imagine that Texas in general is more right wing -across the board- than what is considered right\left on the national scene.

I don't know the point I'm trying to make. So, I'll just stop and say that I have no reason to doubt that you'd possibly vote democrat locally, but I still remain skeptical that you would vote anything but republican nationally.

Lancaster (pronounced LANG-kuh-ster by most locals)

I left out the "g" on the first syllable (never noticed it, must be my mid-western drawl), but the k is second syllable as I stated, and you have wrong.

So on the "get your facts straight" I think you should heed your own advice, and especially if you are going to post a link that then makes you look idiotic.

You said: I live in Ohio, and have been to the city several times. The locals pronounce it lan-cas-ter.

From Wiki:

Lancastrians can easily spot a visitor to the area by how they pronounce the word Lancaster. Locals and people from nearby counties in Pennsylvania (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania), Maryland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryland), and Delaware (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delaware) pronounce Lancaster as LANK-ister. This is unusual as most Lancasters in the United States (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States) are pronounced as LAN-cast-er, though Lancashire, England (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancashire,_England), and Lancasters in Texas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancaster,_Texas), Ohio (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancaster,_Ohio), and South Carolina (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancaster,_South_Carolina) also use the LANK-ister pronunciation.

Notice how your representation exactly matches MOST of the Lancasters in the US but does NOT represent Lancaster Ohio?

Regardless, you failed to tell us which one of the 88 counties in the state of Ohio that you reside in....so?

How is this relevent? Palin made a play to southern and southeastern Ohioans by recognizing someone from LANK-ister, Ohio, the only problem is that she failed with the pronunciation of the town, hence an outsider.

As you said, it is no big deal. It really isn't, except to someone like you, an obvious Obama supporter, trying to denigrate a fine woman like Palin in the only way you can.

Leave the woman-bashing to the Obama campaign, as they have practice at it, and they can usually pronounce small town names (when calling them bitter).

The speech was mediocre, the delivery rehearsed. Couple good points, but nothing outside of what I expected.

Here, call the Chamber of Commerce and see how they correct your ass.

740-653-8251.

So Mabus, since you have been there so many times, what were you doing there? You still haven't said where you live in Ohio. I suspect that you're from around Cleveland and just don't want to admit that you are talking out of your ass.

:tool:

Wow! You googled a phone number!

They pronounce it Lan-kis-ter on that phone number. Call it yourself and see.

I live in Ohio, and have been to the city several times. The locals pronounce it lan-cas-ter.


Now it's Lan-kis-ter? roflmao.

Make up your mind. Or better yet, just remember that Wiki said (correctly) that most of the US pronounce it LAN-cast-er (hmm Mabus said lan-cas-ter) and of course Wiki said (correctly) that Lancaster Ohio is LANK-ister.

Keep going Mabus you are looking rather silly.

So, you still refuse to say where in Ohio you live? :rofl:

Keep posting you moron, soon enough the special olympics pix will appear? For me, you're not worth any more effort.

You gave a phone number, I called it, and that is how the message there pronounced the name.

Notice the "k" sound is still second syllable?

If you are going to attempt to source your firm, entrenched belief that Palin and others (including people that live there and have been there) are wrong in how they pronounce the name at least make sure the sources support you.

Call the number yourself, don't take it from me. Obviously you wouldn't, as you have belabored the slim "point" about colloquial pronunciation to the extreme. But call it. Hell, someone else call and listen to it.

Just get this hillbilly off my back!
