'Freedom is Fabulous’: Two Republican gay groups make waves in Tampa
 TAMPA--An older gentleman in a sparkling cowboy suit and matching hat made out of sequins gazed at a pair of buff male go-go dancers wearing tight jeans and skimpy tank tops that read "Freedom Is Fabulous." That was the scene at a local gay bar called "The Honeypot" on Tuesday night. More than 800 Republican delegates along with members of the local Tampa gay community and reporters clustered to listen to the colorful conservative gay group GOProud make the case for electing Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. GOProud often needles the older, more established gay conservative group, The Log Cabin Republicans, by emphasizing that GOProud is the "only" gay group to have endorsed Mitt Romney. The group hints that Log Cabin is the stodgy uncle figure in the very small world of gay conservative groups. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/f...-election.html

Come on you guys, the empty chair thing was just one moment in an otherwise stellar career. Seriously, "The Bridges of Madison County" was a superlative film, by far his best work. It was well-written, made me cry at times and really left me wanting more; I've seen it a dozen times! It was so romantic, so touching and really very realistic. I even have it on DVD and it's almost worn out. Oh. Uh, wait, wait, I think I got confused. Yeah, I did. I meant to say "Dirty Harry", yeah, that's it. "Dirty Harry". I love that flick. I've worn that sucker out! |

His schtick was pathetic and extremely derogatory to President Obama as well as the Office of the President. He owes a big apology to President Obama but will never give it. Anyway, President Obama had the best reply, "this seat is taken."

something to keep in mind..
Not sure about other states but I know here in FL some absentee ballots were thrown out because people's signatures had changed from when they registered to vote to when they signed their ballot and mailed it out. Some people changed their signature in that time so those ballots got thrown out and those were sent a letter in the mail to redo it.  More than 400,000 voters in Central Florida have already voted, nearly a quarter of them. The Fl Democratic Party had to sue to get a judge to extend the hours for early voting since the governor wasn't budging!! Also a cooler had to be denonated for fear of a bomb, closing one early voting site for hours, but turned out to be nothing. |

Clarification
Quote:
*sighs* It's not surprising you would dismiss Eastwood's stupidity his disrespect to The POTUS. Here's why I said what I said: I was a fan of Eastwood, I grew up as a kid watching his old westerns, and bawled like a baby at the end of Gran Torino. Paint me shocked and surprised when I hear that he is going to be a speaker at the RNC, I am going to risk being honest the pit of my stomach dropped and I thought oh fuck here we go, please don't let this man that you have enjoyed in cinema be that guy who is going to be just like the other guys who are gathered in the name of hate.. I don't know if you view or viewed the RNC like I do, I am going to guess you don't since I am a Latina, Woman, Feminist, and I am part of the LGBTQI umbrella. What I watched as I looked into the sea of white, is a whole lotta fucking racism, hate, zealotry and then this man, who as a kid you thought was cool, then as an adult touched you in a current film get up on a podium and then that man takes your nose and smears it in shit like you are some kind of bad dog. That man stood up there and DISMISSED OUR POTUS in a disgusting, racist, white hate demeanor that I just was at a loss for words. I did not know if I should feel bad that this man was making an ass out of not only him, his party, his family and this country or slap him off the fucking podium and tell him to take his shit elsewhere. I watched this man become one more white face in a sea of hate, dismissively point to an empty chair while he had a *pretend conversation* with the POTUS who is a Man of Color. I am 43 years old, I know and recognize racism at it's ugliest and what Eastwood did on behalf of his political party was just that. Racism, he is now to me a part of the problem. He's just to *me* another white guy, who's fathered 7 children by 5 different women trying to tell me, a non white woman who's body is hers yet he and his party think differently. I am a queer woman who he dislikes because he is all worried about the sanctity of the nuclear family while he hikes his leg up and pisses kids out like they are candy in a pez dispenser and yet he has the nerve to do what he did? Here's what happened in I forgot to seperate character from reality when dealing with idiots like him who use their careers to make hated political statements. He's not the old guy from Gran Torino, he's not the bad ass on The Good The Bad and The Ugly. He's Clint Eastwood, old white senile man, a Republican who was used and let himself be used at the cost of his public image to spew out some hate. That right there is what over rides it for me, it's hard for me to be around, look at, hear a racist especially a romanticized racist once they show their asses. The only thing he did for me was make it clear, he's part of that sea of white that wants nothing to do with the likes of me. All because I am a Latina, Woman, Queer, Feminist.... So yeah, seriously..... Oh and while he is doing this on that god damn podium looking *DOWN* at an empty chair telling a Man of Color this and that. THAT right there is racism Reader, and that shit right there PISSES me off and DISGUSTS me to no end. Kinda like when someone is like really? Why you gotta be mad at the dude he's Dirty Harry. I can't afford forgetting who he really is, I am a little embarrased that I did.

I really don't care what an actor does on their own time n dime. But when they get up on the public political stage and insult The sitting President of the U.S. for the whole f*ing world to see, Buddy I have a huge problem with that. The whole Eastwood incident is a national shame on us, that this President is publicly insulted and it's called funny is abhorrent! No wonder the rest of the world thinks we are a bunch of adolescents, WE ARE!

I think that there are very few playwrights of the last half-century that can best David Mamet's (Glengarry Glen Ross) dialog work and he recently (last five years or so) lost his damn mind and has become an Obama-hating right-wing populist masquerading as a conservative. I *still* watch his work because he can write dialog like no one else. I love Samuel L. Jackson but find most of his political pronouncements vapid even though he's of my political tribe, more or less so I certainly see what you're driving at. Cheers Aj

Romney under friendly fire for his response to embassy attack in Libya
The Republican presidential candidate came under fire from Republicans and Democrats on Wednesday for politicizing the outbreak of deadly violence in the Middle East, including the breaching of the American Embassy in Cairo and an attack on the American Consulate in Libya, which claimed the life of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other diplomatic workers.
The danger for Romney is that his response to the Middle East attacks feeds into a consensus among the news media that his campaign to unseat Obama is in serious trouble. For the fourth time in recent months, prominent conservatives have gone public with fretting over the direction of Romney's campaign—a panic set off most recently by conservative radio host Laura Ingraham's suggestion Monday that if Romney can't beat Obama then the Republican Party should be "shut down." On Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal editorial board piled on, suggesting Romney could lose the election because he's been too vague when it comes to explaining his policies. "Mistakes like this happen when a campaign begins to feel under pressure," Schmidt told Yahoo News. "The Democrats had a more successful convention, the president's opened up a lead in the polls, there's been a lot of criticism by conservative commentators about campaign strategy. … They acted too quickly, too rashly, too politically—looking obviously for a way to change the narrative, the dynamic in the race." http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/r...-election.html

I know about the Eastwood/empty chair thingie b/c of Stewart and Colbert
from Gawker:
But by far the most amusing response to Eastwood's off-rocker one-man-show was from the President himself, who couldn't help but join in on the mirth-making with the following tweet:

I think President Obama (with great help from Clinton, Kerry and Biden) reminded everyone he is the President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief, and that is not a liability but a strength. He was able to paint his opponents as inexperienced and having no clear plans of their own of how to move forward. I think that was crucial.
I am really looking forward to the debates because I think Obama and Biden can shred them. I don't know if all of that will win the election for Obama and Biden, but it will be very interesting to watch. The stakes really are very high, and I don't understand how anyone could be undecided at this point with just stark differences between the two candidates and parties.

Do you think those who made the decision to say nothing about Afghanistan among other things during the RNC are kicking themselves?
And I agree Greyson, I think this will be the most important election in my life time so far. |
