So I've watched about an hour total of the last days of the Republican convention. I watched some of Christie and now watching Ryan speak. The whole Hollywood produced stage show is just stupid. I'm sorry these guys are reading concocted speeches prepared by a group of brainiacs that don't have a clue what it's like to have to provide for yourself. It's like a state of the union address. Talk and cheer and clap, silence, squint into TelePrompTer, read a bit, look to other side, read from TelePrompTer, clap cheer.

Six tips for a great speech from General Colin Powell | Creativity_Unbound
I realize speech writers have been preparing for Presidents for decades if not centuries and all this broadway acting is just a progression of technology but is there not a single person who can orate to an audience true honest fresh from the heart thoughts? Nobody? Look left, read, look right read, breathe, repeat. Ryan spent over forty five minutes blaming Obama for all the things he said he would do and hasn't and blasting him for all the things that have happened bad under his term. Blame blame blame and then hypocritically blame Obama for blaming bush. What a bunch of frigging finger pointers
Every single speaker all they did was blame blame blame and point fingers at the current administration for all their faults. Oh and then at the end Ryan says 'we can do this, we can do this, me and mitt' rah rah rah.

Nobody not a one ever anymore anywhere omits his opponent and simply highlights themself?
Nobody
I am becoming very cynical toward this whole process. The more I think about it the more I think the whole thing is fixed. Outcome already known. Electronic voting everywhere, no stub, no actual real record of your vote. Then your supposed to trust the programmer/s for the counting machine are unbiased. 60 minutes had the students from MIT I think it was that showed how they could skew the count simply by inserting a different card than the one the registrar gives you. Neither side, neither choice is worth two doodoos to me and neither is gonna change a damn thing.
