This speech and this convention seemed Forced

[Darby]

Trying too hard. Not genuine.

[Kierkegaard]

1. Well

Has there been anything genuine about this administration for the last 4 years?

[eleny]

2. they look so stiff waving to the crowd

[rwenos]

3. Agreed. No emotion,

. . . not from the gut. And the crowd responded at the same emotional pitch -- quite flat.

I've seen Bush give better speeches, and certainly heard him get a better, more enthusiastic reception.

This whole thing looks flat and staged. Like fake orgasms (Meg Ryan notwithstanding.)

[eleny]

4. and they're leaving already

that's fast

[moondust]

5. Yes, "foisted".

[Tigerlily]

6. Definately.

There is no real emotion. There is no "spirit". Very strange.

[zulchzulu]

7. ROTFL! Watching millionaire bankers fuckin' around with balloons

What a bunch of phoney fuckheads... Thank GOD it's over..

Look out Chimpy...

HERE WE COME!

[kwolf68]

8. Of course it wasnt

Not a lot of religious zealotry...at least for this crowd. If I was a cultural fascist I would be disgusted with this show.

[Entente]

9. The crowd was scary

Like robots, their voices so alike and unanimous.

[AngryAsHell]

10. Overall

I thought it was a pretty decent convention.

[Protected]

11. The talking heads loved it, though

They see something in it that we don't... obviously.
