RNC Ratings Night Two: Networks Lose 17 Million Viewers Compared To Night Two Of 2008 RNC
TV Newser ^ | 8/30/12 | Alex Weprin

On night two of the Republican National Convention, Fox News Channel was once again the network more people went to to get their political fix. That said, every network was down substantially from the same night in 2008, when Sarah Palin made her RNC debut.

Sure guys, the people who find Romney too liberal, are the “liberals”.

William Weld endorses Romney in 2012—“I had supported Mitt Romney for the nomination in ’08.

When Mitt couldn’t win, Weld naturally switched to Obama, think about that.

Mitt Romney is William Weld’s protege.

Mitt lost in 2008 so Weld supported Obama, Mitt is the nominee today and considers William Weld his mentor, and Weld naturally endorsed his protege.

“I think Bill Weld comes as close as anyone,” Romney said when asked whom in his party he aligned with.

The leader of the conservative movement, and the greatest female speaker in American history would rock the house.

I was listening on the radio and they kept cutting to station identification. I complained and then moved to Cspan. I need to remember that Cspan’s streaming has gotten much much better.

The station guy got back to me and said that the network promised not to interupt the speechs. It was the local guy I think.

The Big 3 coverage has been AWFUL.

I’ve resorted to PBS, which is actually covering 3hrs / night, instead of the cut-down miniscule “1 hr but 1/2 of it, liberal talk heads blabbing”.

>>What is GOP-e?<<

GOP-e = socialist, liberal, beltway, country club, elitist, establishment republicans

In other words: GOP-e = Mitt Romney

Other examples: Karl Rove, John Sununu, John Boehner, every Bush family member, any member or descendant of a member of the Rockefeller wing of the republican party.

I may have left out a few other descriptive words such as lying, low down, backstabbing snakes. But that should give you some idea of what GOP-e is.

Hope that helps.

I switched to CSPAN as did many others. The talking heads are way too annoying. They keep talking over the speaker, telling us what they said.

We are not that ignorant!

The trolls are out everywhere here. People think that this in some way is a reflection on the ticket, or the speakers, are just deluded. It’s a reflection of the continued erosion of the networks.

Thank you. You saved me the trouble of posting this word for word.

I watched on Cspan on the internet. Haven't had any network TV or Cable or Dish or any of that garbage since Gore conceeded.

I’m beginning to think FR is now inhabited by bunches of liberals.

Yup, many Conservatives have been run off the reservation.

I can’t imagine any sane person watching this on anything other than C-SPAN. I can tolerate C-SPAN.

I refuse to watch those talking head traitors.

Excellent job of describing the GOP-e blight. To your description I would add “UN supporting, one world government, big government statists, who despise loyal American conservatives.”

The GOP-e is an utter disgrace. It is the principal reason I stopped donating to the RNC, NRCC and NRSC around 5 years ago. No more $$ to elect RINO pukes.

I know all of that.

What do you suggest as an alternative?

Romney was far from my first choice, but the deal is, he’s our nominee.

Unless someone else shows up on the scene and decides to run, we have no choice. Even a person who can’t bring themselves to vote for him and stays home, is a vote for obammy.

At lease, that’s the way I see it.

You know all that?

Then why your post claiming the opposite?

“I’m watching it on CSPAN.”

Who in their right mind would subject themselves to the racist tripe coming from the filthy mouths of the “journalists” on the networks? Good to see that there are at least 17 million of us.

“I know I’ll only be showing up to vote in my congressional and local races.”

Lookin’ for more of that “hopey changey”, eh?

Most of them on here aren't. They are genuinely concerned conservatives. On the other hand, I also have no doubt some are indeed poseurs.

My point is, how do you tell them apart? Their posts read exactly the same.

Yep, that’s it. Appeal to the proprietor when your lameness fails. Begone DU troll. You have no power here.

Watching on CSPAN as soon as the speakers I want to hear come up.

Really, you get confused when pro-life conservatives find Romney’s pro-abortion positions deadly liberal and pro-abortion? You confuse that with the pro-lifer as sounding like the “liberal” and not the conservative?

You think that being pro-life is the DU position and not an FR position?

McCain-Palin lost. That is just a fact.

People need to get over it and move on.

We are not going to lose this time.

Ryan inspires confidence. The man is young and has so much gravitas. The dems, including Obama, know it too.
