Those same creeps will be cheerleaders at the Demoncrap Convention. <<<

Yup!!!..and let me be the 1st to explain the meme they will use to appear “bipartisan”

1. before each speech..hand-wring about the persons ability to deliver their acute understanding of the subject matter...faint praise

2. Set the bar low with cross talk, psycho-babble and doubt..

3. after the speech (no matter how bad)...declare they “hit it out of the park!”..how genuine it was.. etc.

4.Quote each and every democrat talking point they mentioned and rave about how well they got their point across....

(MARK THIS POST....YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!)

The content of McCain’s speech was great. His delivery was horrible!

Newt Gingrich and Camilla were definitely the worst that I saw, as well. There were a few speakers that, although not professional, at least got their point across. But the gingrich’s “frick and frack” act was awful.

I was alone watching it, but was embarrassed for Newt.

When is she going to put a collar on him and start leading him around on a leash”

Oh, yeah.. Boehner.. He was actually WORSE than McCain.. His stumbling on the word ‘preferential’ was legendary! I thought he was Elmer Fudd for a minute there.. LOL

Christy was very disappointing. Clint reminded me of Andy Griffiths support of Bam four years ago.
Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman should have been given an opportunity to speak.

What is the purpose of accentuating the negative?

This is a waste of time.

I agree the worst was Newt and Camilla. That Reagan tribute should have been read by somebody else. Almost anybody with a good voice and cadence could have done it. It was awkward the way it was done.

The Convention should have let Newt be Newt. He is one of the best speakers around and would have knocked 0bama and the Dims out of the park instead of doing something any high school valedictorian could have done. The opportunity was totally wasted with a walk when it should have been a home run. Newt could have really set the media's hair on fire.

Boehner- every time he opened his mouth.

I was disappointed with Newt- I guess I had some expectations that I shouldn’t have had- but I don’t care for his wife and found her...unpleasant.

I don’t think there was a “worst”. Even the folks that I can’t stand, such as Saintorum, did very well.

As for your comment about Newt and Camilla..... big flipping deal. The have been side by side throughout.

Overall, Empty Chair Obama got his ass kicked and that is all that really matters to me.

The speech that wasn’t given - by Sarah. She would have really energized the crowd had she been allowed the opportunity to speak.

Constructive criticism. Newt can be so much better.

I’ll just keep my eye on November, not on who made the worst speech.

Newt and Camilla. It was embarassing.

That wooden, platitude-ridden address was like a performance in a junior high school speech class. Was that the same guy who delivered that rousing victory speech in South Carolina back in January?

I really liked Artur Davis’ speech. Wish Sarah would have torn it up.

Jeb Bush made me flib the channel with his no Child Left Behind (Part II) speech.

Florida’s Pam Bondi and the Georgia Governor were a real disappointment. I hope Bondi doesn’t have any aspirations to be Governor of Florida down the road. For a lawyer, I don’t think she passed her Public Speaking course.

Clint Eastwood

Agreed. Rambling, cringe-worthy mess. I was embarrassed for him. A couple of funny lines, but otherwise it was awful. My biggest issue, though, is that everyone is talking about him instead of the various politicians that are supposed to be discussed after the convention, namely Mittens. Clint stole their thunder, bigtime.
