Live Blogging McCain’s Acceptance
Bottom line: I was always voting for McCain because Obama is far too left-wing. Did the speech swing anyone? We’ll see.
11:04 PM Country song not doing a lot for me. :)
11:04 PM Interesting end to the speech. Very strident…very strong call to public service.
11:02 PM Call to public service.
11:01 PM Real shot at Obama and the his Messianic complex.
10:59 PM Addressing a very interesting part of his POW status…being broken and how the men told him to fight again.
10:55 PM Can liberals forgive him for the bombing?
10:54 PM “the scars to prove it”…Reminds me too much of John Kerry.
10:52 PM “Get this country moving again”…Is the country really that broken? Not sure I see it.
10:50 PM Makes an important point about war, and it’s cost…Something he’s not unfamiliar with.
10:48 PM Iran is a huge problem. Do you really want Obama dealing with it?
10:46 PM Proposing energy independence with the usual suspects…but draws important distinction between he and Obama that we can’t abandon drilling.
10:44 PM Grabbing some of the money from foreign aid to countries that “don’t like us much”. Good idea.
10:43 PM Wish he’d say go after colleges that are raising tuition at twice the rate of inflation. Wish he’d go after colleges with large endowments that won’t spend them.
10:42 PM Use community colleges to train people for new jobs…Make up the difference in wages for those going to new careers…
10:40 PM Finally getting some meat…doubling child tax credits, lowering business tax rates, lowering personal rates…
10:39 PM Booing? Doesn’t seem that mature.
10:38 PM Why am I thinking that McCain won’t appoint strong conservative judges? It just doesn’t seem like him.
10:37 PM ”Letting people keep the fruits of the their labors”…A critical component of the American dream.
10:35 PM Challenging the Republican Party now…No doubt the Republican “revolution” got caught up in the Beltway culture of corruption.
10:33 PM Don’t like the specific references toward hardship cases. Seems like liberal pandering to me.
10:32 PM Have to give him credit for risking everything on the surge. Campaign was dead at that point.
10:31 PM Remove money from politics? Others, myself included, see that as limiting free speech.
10:30 PM Kill pork spending…good start.
10:29 PM If you work for the American people, why are you so stridently pro illegal immigration?
10:26 PM Does anyone over the age of 30 buy the idea that a bipartisan spirit will take hold of Washington politics?
10:25 PM Good speech so far, but we need some details.
10:23 PM What was that disturbance? McCain handled it well though.
10:21 PM Clearly Palin was the attack dog while McCain takes the high road.
10:19 PM McCain is a lot less strident than Obama so far.
10:16 PM I certainly thought we’d get more attacks after 9/11. Say what you want about W, but he has defended the country.
10:15 PM Interesting: McCain comes off as fatherly.
10:13 PM How many people are watching the NFL right now? Bad planning by the RNC.
10:11 PM Will “renew” America; hope he gets specific.
10:10 PM Ding! Ding! McCain right about the surge that even Obama now admits succeeded beyond our wildest expectations.
10:09 PM McCain wants to keep “our money, in our pocket”, but didn’t initially support the Bush tax cuts.
10:08 PM McCain’s resume blows Obama’s away.
10:03 PM Let’s hope McCain really lays down what he plans to do with the country.
10:02 PM Will McCain touch illegal immigration tonight?
10:01 PM Did CNN offer counter commentary from Republicans during Obama’s speech?
9:58 PM Listening to the enemy tonight–CNN.
9:56 PM Being former military, I am biased toward military families. Have to give the McCain’s credit for a long history of military service.
9:55 PM Why is Cindy’s hair frizzy? :)
9:54 PM McCain never a Washington insider? Not sure I buy that story, Cindy.
9:51 PM Understand why Cindy discusses their charity work, but somewhat uncomfortable. Is it old school to believe charity stays close to the vest?
9:49 PM Cindy McCain, Sarah Palin…McCain has good taste in women.
