2012 Republican National Convention Discussion

Also, politifact did fact checking tweets on a lot of the speeches today...you can find them all here.

twitter.com...

But here are some specific ones:
Artur Davis says the health care law requires people to buy insurance "whether they can afford it or not" - Mostly False

Chris Christie says there has been “$5 trillion in debt added over the last four years” - Mostly True

Rick Santorum repeats Romney claim that Obama is ending work requirement in welfare - Pants On Fire

RNC Chairman Priebus said Obama promised to cut deficit in half in four years. True.

Delegates hearing a lot about Obama's "you didn't build that" comment. Here's our original fact check. - False

And here is the chaos that erupted at the Convention when the chairman declare the "Ayes" had it when it wasn't very clear if they in fact did.

Yet once again, Obama has not addressed the economy

Fact of the matter is its what is in Israels best interests, not our own.... Romney kept spewing how he wanted war with Iran, that is the major issue and that's what got him to where he is now, they need a guy who is going to do Israels dirty work for them....

Wait what was his lawyers name that changed the rules at the last second to make Romney the nominee? Benjamin Ginsberg Hmmm...... Well now you know who is behind the curtains pulling all the strings, sorry America you lose................

Yeah but it is also kind of important to note that this was predicated on being able to get the correct amount of stimulus passed, and letting the Bush tax cuts expire. Kind of hard to do something with a Congress hellbent on your failure.

Well, nothing like that happened.

The rule changed you are talking about wasn't for this year, it would have been for 2016...and it didn't apply to just Romney, it applied to anyone who won a primary in a state.

No it was applied this year and 2016, RP won the 5 states he needed this year!!! Then after the rule change came at the last second all of a sudden he needed 8 states...

I know some rules were added to this years...but not the Ginsberg thingy...that was for 2016 from what I understand.

Either way...Romney was going to be the nominee...the only change would have been that instead of Ron Paul's delegates going into the "Other" category, they would have been counted for him. But Romney still had enough to win.

I agree...but I'm just relaying what politifact said.

was the attendee wearing pink? Or maybe purple with big bold letters SEIU? Sounds like Obama operatives.

Heh, I don't know...not many details.

What I do know is that the RNC did release a statement confirming the incident

www.politico.com...

GOP convention spokesman Kyle Downey tells POLITICO, "Two attendees tonight exhibited deplorable behavior. Their conduct was inexcusable and unacceptable. This kind of behavior will not be tolerated."

You are trying to say that someone deliberately tried to take Condi out of the focus? Geez do people ever get tired of this nonsense?

Sounds like some of the Occupiers decided to go into the convention under cover. Remember how Medea Benjamin snuck in last time and ripped her over shirt off to reveal her Super Pink undershirt?

I'm pretty sure you just suggested that the person throwing nuts and making racial slurs was a plant...I'm not sure you have room to talk about nonsense.

The Correct amount of Stimulus? I thought the Stimulus was all Bush's fault? Oh wait Obama needed the Stimulus to get us out of recession...I see now.What would have been the correct amount? Just amything more than what he got?

Yes, that is definitely what I am suggesting. After all, they did it to the Tea Party. It's certainly a more viable conspiracy theory than Republican cameramen hating blacks so much they pan away from one of the most prominent black Republicans. Yes, I think it a very viable theory that some Obama people want desperately to make Republicans out to hate blacks. It's not like this administration hasn't been doing it for 3 1/2 years already.

History is on my side. Medea Benjamin has already done it twice, once in 08 and once in 04. Apparently some delegate gave her tickets to the convention.

Here's the 04 incident as reported by Democracy Now
www.democracynow.org...

But I remember when she did it at the 08 convention.

Apparently they also tried to make a citizen's arrest of Condi Rice at a convention event, how incredibly ironic.

Since I read 1 of your posts a while back, and you said the new rule is not in effect until 2016,
and you were right,
just wanted to say that to you, even though you rub me the wrong way,
I have to get off the fence and say something once in a while.

I dont get how slandering another person can get you votes for presidency... Even Obama slandering Bush was retarded. It just shows their character that they cant be trusted for ****... Show me someone who does not slander anyone else publicly and i will show you an honorable president...

Apparently Soros and friends had a lot planned for the RNC but interestingly, the weather has prevented some of the activities so far

Artur Davis is correct about the mandate. If you do not purchase it, the IRS will come after you. Why are liberals so hot to trot for this crazy Draconian law?
