RNC Observations

It was encouraging and uplifting to hear people like Mia Love, Ann Romney, Rick Santorum, Artur Davis, Condoleeza Rice, Chris Christie, Susana Martinez, and some others speak this week.  It was disappointing and discouraging to observe the media as they experienced a desperate meltdown and scrambled to demand that their viewers ignore all those lying people.

Paul Ryan is my superstar among the leading characters in the GOP.  The proof that his speech was pitch-perfect was found in the media attempts to attack him as a liar.  Only the Left-Wing media's manufactured "fact-checkers" turned out to be lying themselves about Ryan's reported whopper about the GM plan closing in Janesville.

MSNBC's "dog whistle" theme was proved to be merely a desperate ploy to paint the entire party as racist, based on ... nothing.  I spent a short time looking in on MSNBC after the speeches just out of curiosity to observe their "analysis".  Rather than analysis, I saw the Obama Campaign volunteer staff members who masquerade as journalists try to stop themselves from screaming in frustration and desperation, because they knew Obama's presidency was being systematically destroyed and they were powerless to stop it.

The MSNBC themes that accused republicans of racism and sexism were soundly refuted simply by the outstanding messages delivered by Love, Martinez, Rice, and Martinez, and Davis.  The party members proved the snarky commentators from Obama's House Network to be fools.  It was so silly and juvenile that the network chose not to televise any of the speeches given by those folks so they could pretend they didn't exist.  As if people wouldn't catch on.

Clint Eastwood's appearance as the convention's mystery guest was interesting.  He was funny and modestly entertaining, but I thought his presentation seemed off-the-cuff and unrehearsed.

Mitt Romney himself delivered an acceptance speech that wasn't terrible, but it certainly was a bit anticlimactic.  That's OK with me;  I'd rather have a solid but non-charismatic president who can get the job done than a soaring speaker who promises to cure disease and lower the sea levels then does nothing but funnel money and goodies to his cronies while our country circles the drain.
