1. Is it just me, or is Ron Christie slightly cross-eyed?

One or both of his eyes is definitely lazy.

[underpants]

8. More than a little but it appears that he has worked on it or been coached

being cross-eyed shouldn't change evaluation of his message

That being said-I hadn't seen him in a while I would suspect that he has gotten some media coaching on this. He has turned his head and probably concentrates with one eye towards the camera. I would guess that that would be the standard coaching for this situation.

Anyone you see on camera goes through a process of knowing how to be on camera. It literally starts with how you get in the chair (I have read). Also anyone in an inset can't see who they are supposedly talking to, O'Reilly infamously takes advantage of this.

22. It's because he's dizzy

Your eyes would be crossed too if you'd done that much spinning in 7 minutes.

2. Well yeah, there's that bimbo in Alaska for one thing.

:eyes:

What is the GOP message? Lies, greed, war, recession, intolerance, racism, incompentance, and hate?

[amberlight38]

4. All of the above!

Finally they admit what their party stands for. :crazy:

5. Someone untie this guy's nuts, please!!!

If his name is "ron christie" or choir boy for the repug party, this is just one more delusional right winger.

Go sarah palin. Resurrect that nightmare and force that one on the US again. We were the laughing stock of the world...or those that realized what an ass hat she was. If they are dumb enough to bring that bimbo back out of the tundra, I look forward to doing everything in my power to crush her down.

Loser!!

Maybe the choir boy could run as her running mate. Now, there's a ticket. A female nut ball from the church of Alaska, and a minority that has a higher pitched voice than she does. God help that sick and dying party.

[neomonkey]

7. Lost cause, no nuts to tie, however,

he could stand to have his ass unclenched.

[Number23]

14. I know! Good Lord

I bet his voice drops five octaves when he thinks white folks aren't looking at him...

[Seldona]

6. It's baffling, but they just don't get it.

I hope Sarah Palin does become the new face of the repugnant party. They certainly deserve the mean spirited liar.

People forget Howard Dean and his 50 State Strategy. He makes Karl Rove look like an imbecile.

[fascisthunter]

19. time to get rid of electronic voting machines

so these psychos don't steal another election.

9. 4 points on this

1.the red area is WV TN and ARK which are considered to be owned by the NRA. Contesting them is throwing money in a hole.

2. I talked to someone who considered running for Congress and he said that Romney gave McCain the best chance of winning. I disagree with this because he comes off as an empty suit and having a CEO on the ticket right now was not a good idea. His opinion came from the money/higher echelon of our party.

3. Schmerconish is right-they were trying to sure up who they should have had in their pocket (and probably did).

4. Christie doesn't seem to realize that THEY have caricatured themselves AND low taxes, national defense, etc. doesn't mean a damn thing to anyone right now. We got it keep the keel down and the sails up, tell us what you are going to do with the current-the wind-the immediate circumstances.

[Piewhacket]

10. The smell of roastie toasted Repuke is in the air.

See how Chris plays hardball? Deadly.
He doesn't care which side. Hes looking for meat to roast.
There just happens to be a lot more incredibly stupid/delusional
repukliens at the moment. A feast.

[cooolandrew]

11. Let's encourage them to go more right it's working so well for them.

[Gato Moteado]

12. i love how tweety ended it with that "HANH!" laugh

the repuke-bot was lame.

[provis99]

13. this Christie guy is damned clueless, or else a Republican water-carrier

Either way, I hope there's more of these idiots in the Republican party planning their next campaign.

[bjobotts]

15. I';d like to see this guy in Georgia moving microphone equipment on stage.

[bjobotts]

16. Yelling out we need more white racist while the children told him he was just a monkey like Obama

[bjobotts]

17. Repub base would only cater to minorities to get their vote, not help them

[GaYellowDawg]

21. I think you're thinking of Pennsylvania.

At least, that's where the "Obama monkey" guy was.

[JimboBillyBubbaBob]

18. Two Things

Two things stand out from the clip and I offer this observation from my perspective as a social anthropologist. I am equally intrigued by the map that Chris showed detailing those areas of the country that increased in Republican turnout in the last election. Point number one, the map appears to reflect county and city regions. The map corresponds closely to those areas settled early in America's development by the Scots-Irish migration. Point number two, Christie stated that Palin clearly articulated her message. Pending further review, there seems to be an association between that message and the regions on the map that responded in an increased voter support to such a message. Christie, in effect, contradicted his own message.

[HopeHoops]

20. "We nail everybody" - he certainly nailed Palin! (The GOP has GOT to stop using that word)

[WhoIsNumberNone]

23. The biggest laugh I had watching this video:

When he said that Republicans 'try to keep the deficits low'.
HA HA HA HA!
Then perhaps you'd care to explain to us why the deficit MUSHROOMS every single year when a Republican is in office.
Is it because you are incompetent?

Do! Or do not.... There is no try.

To me this is just more proof that the Republican electorate are LIV's (Low Information Voters) After almost 30 years they still believe that line of shit.
