Clint Eastwood addresses TOTUS and COTUS
Posted on 08/31/2012 9:24:54 AM PDT by chessplayer
The reviews continue to pour in on Clint Eastwood’s appearance at the Republican National convention Thursday night, and "mixed" might be a charitable way to put it. One prominent Republican, Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, said that he "cringed" at the performance.
An unattributed release from the Romney campaign defended Eastwood, according to The Wall Street Journal: "Judging an American icon like Clint Eastwood through a typical political lens doesn’t work. His ad-libbing was a break from all the political speeches, and the crowd enjoyed it,” the statement read.

You made some excellent points. I guess I am just mad because Romney started talking at 1050 or so and I was exhausted. I heard 15 minutes and fell asleep. I thought that Clint’s performance could have been earlier in the night....I thought Rubio talked forever (did he speak earlier?) and the Main person I wanted to hear from I didn’t. It pissed me off a little. That is my whole truth about last night.
I think if the people watching knew he was using the Jimmy Stewart character in Harvey they’d enjoy it. The more I’ve watch it the better.
You're giving yourself away...ALL democrats are weak (and cult's don't deserve capitalization).

God what an idiot. You say all Democrats (Proper noun you dofus) are weak...Well if you learned to read a post, I was talking about the 3 last Democratic Presidential Nominees. God why do we have stupid people on Free Republic?
Which is why I continue to believe he was a plant who trolled all of us.
Now I wish I had watched.
You are wrong if you think Romney and Obamugabe are the same. They’re not the same.

Yep. It is amazing how some liberal FREEPERS get behind the strangest people. They loved the “I am a Witch” person until they didn’t. They loved Joe the Plumber until he didn’t show up for one of McCain’s events and made McCain look like an idiot. Anne Coulter used to be a star around here now she is vilified because she wanted Romney....Hold the phone....Romney was chosen and now the FREEPERS demand lockstep force voting for Romney. There are numerous examples. They didn’t like Clint Eastwood until they did...the gay marriage support threads that Clint Eastwood believes are incredible...plus clint believes in killing babies no matter what. One thing for sure....principles went out the window in 2012.
Compared to Romney’s typically stiff, scripted, emotionally vacant and awkward speech, Eastwood’s routine was a welcome bit of relaxed, playful zaniness. The stiff country-club Republicans that walk around with sticks up their butts should shut up and let us enjoy something since it’s their fault we’re stuck with the Romulan as a candidate. The libs are only criticizing Eastwood because he wasn’t doing this for their side. They’d be cheering him on, calling him an icon and praising him for poking fun at himself if he had delivered the exact same speech at the DNC about Bush.
I think FR is being flooded by Romney bots... They have one thing in common the like to call people names and love the establishment coolaid.
May I offer that I am not a republican therefor I had no candidate in this charade. The first Nixon then Bush 1 drove me out of the party and the second Bush confirmed that any liberty loving American is nuts to put their hope in a party that is just another flavor of statist.
Pray tell what has your beloved republican statist done to preserve our country, liberty or to honor the constitution... NOTHING. Instead they have grown government expanded dependency, depressed liberty and basically crapped on the constitution all the while pretending to be on “our” side.
There is no point in discussing the dems... commies and perverts are commies and perverts. What makes the Republicans so disgusting is they run around behind a facade of patriotism proclaiming love of country and liberty and they are just short of the democrats when it comes to the destruction of this country and our individual sovereignty and liberty.
I did my duty and fought for this country only to see it becoming the thing I fought against. And all you happy cool-aid drinking frogs are comfy in your little republican establishment pots wondering why it seems to be getting a little warm...
I am not the looser here, the american people are regardless who wins.
PS I am happy to shame Obama any time I can.
LOL.. Boy are you delusional!! Also, do you think the nominating process is over yet? or is Mitt’s nomination still up in the air?
That is absolutely correct.
You know he hit it out of the park when the left is running around screaming “He struck out!”
Couldn’t agree more!
BTTT
No I know we are stuck with a liberal on both sides of the political spectrum. I will vote for Romney but I think it is tragic that the Republican party has gone so far down the tubes with probably zero way of getting back.
Walker’s personality seems about as stiff as you can get. He’s definitely the “Felix” half of the Odd Couple. And he seems to have about as much trouble cracking a smile as Tommy Lee Jones in Men in Black. I guess it’s good that he’s as serious and business-minded as he is in his job as governor. But he doesn’t appear to have much of a sense of humor.
I won’t be surprised if the left starts talking about how Clint played a racist in GRAN TORINO. And they’ll say he was apparently playing himself. They’re so predictable.
