Ye Olde Republican Safe House

[Thigbee]

The difference between Romney supporters and Obama supporters is...
Romney supporters sign the front of checks. Obama supporters sign the back.

I like that! Going to remember that one.

I enjoyed watching the Republican National Convention tonight!

It was good. Condi was great. So was Paul Ryan. I also liked the governor from New Mexico.

Best line of the night -

College graduates should not have to live out their 20s in their childhood bedrooms, staring up at fading Obama posters and wondering when they can move out and get going with life. Everyone who feels stuck in the Obama economy is right to focus on the here and now. And I hope you understand this too, if you're feeling left out or passed by: You have not failed, your leaders have failed you.

That was the best line of the night! There were so many parents (and kids) who could relate to that one.

Here is another great quote:

Condi Rice didn't use a prompter. President Obama would need a prompter to say "Condi Rice didn't use a prompter." -- Dennis Miller

Really great stuff last night. I thought Ryan hit it out of the park as did both Condi and the NM Gov.

So who do you think the "mystery speaker" will be tonight?

 

[RedPaddy]

I think a holographic Reagan asking if you're better off than you were 4 years ago would be a home run.

So who do you think the "mystery speaker" will be tonight?

Rumor is that it's Clint Eastwood

 

[RedPaddy]

To make the best case as to why we need to send obama back to chicago via uhaul, they should just put Biden up there without TOTUS.

There was another rumor that the mystery speaker would be a Reagan hologram. Those are amazing and if you haven't seen them, Google Celine Elvis and watch the video

Here's the hologram of Elvis and Celine Dion

If they did that with Reagan at the convention, it would bring the house down and the Obama camp would go into panic mode. The personal attacks on Reagan would start flying instantly

CNN Fact Check: Did Ryan get Obama's GM speech right?

The only thing Ryan appears to have gotten technically wrong in Wednesday's version was saying that the plant didn't last another year. It did last another year -- more like 14 months -- if the Isuzu line and its 57 workers count.

So, though Ryan might have been incorrect in the August 16 telling, he cleaned it up for Wednesday's convention. Obama said what Ryan said he said.

But to fairly evaluate Obama's statement, at least two pieces of context -- missing from Ryan's account -- would be useful: First, that Obama wasn't telling this plant that he'd save it from a pending closure. He wasn't addressing a plant that he knew to be closing, because the closure announcement didn't come until four months after his speech. Second, although the plant's last bit of production stopped early in Obama's presidency and the plant remains closed, the closure was planned before Obama became president.

Verdict: True, but incomplete.

Maybe they will have Reagan on stage with Clint Eastwood...now that would be something to see

Fact Check: Rand Paul, Obama and debt

The verdict:

True, but incomplete. While budget shortfalls have added $6 trillion to the national debt since January 2009, some of that spending was already in the pipeline, and some of it is the result of the economic slump that has cut into tax receipts.

Hadn't thought about that possibility

Oy! Now I'm really intrigued!
