Notes from tonight’s Romney Ryan Republican Rally in
Waukesha 08 12 2012
The Democrats might learn from the Republicans when someone
in the crowd interrupts a Democrat while speaking at the podium.
Tonight at the Republican rally there was someone who spoke
up at the event while Romney was talking.
Crowd members all around that man pointed at him and chanted U.S.A. It drowned him out until the police walked to
him and asked him to leave.
I would like the same thing happen while Democrats are
speaking during their events.
Romney made the comment about the ability of Republicans to
listen. But his comment did not really
bear any relation to Republicans listening quietly because I know for a fact;
that the history of Democrats speaking and being interrupted by young
Republicans does not go the way it did tonight at the Republican rally. Once again I would like to see Republicans
confronted by the police when they are interrupting a Democratic rally.
Another technique that the Republicans used tonight is what
can be termed speaking with World Wide Wrestling mannerisms. It has grand showmanship appeal. The reason that the Democrats have never
behaved in this speaking way is because they are more contemplative and
reflective when they speak about problems and solutions. It is kind of like when you have a speech to
give that has more meat in it you don’t need to use as much theatrics. Different tactics appeal to different
constituencies. And indeed you can draw
analytical conclusions based on what tactics a politician is using when he
speaks to his supporters.
And one last point, there was no time for the audience
asking questions of the politicians or taking questions from the press. And indeed how do you segeway from giving a
World Wide Wrestling type speech to calming down and thinking and answering
questions with contemplative and intelligent answers that truly address the question
and do not gloss over it.
One last point Republican Jim Sensenbrenner made the comment
that the Romney/Ryan administration will be the Presidency of pain. I have pain every single day. What American needs more pain. That fat man ought to take up exercise until
he himself is fit as a fiddle.
Sensenbrenner seams more in full character as a sheriff who tosses his
wet hat to the ground as the secret agents boat flies over the road and into
the next everglade. As I listened to
Sensenbrenner’s remarks about giving the nation more pain I panned up in the
select and reserved seats of the bleachers behind him to see that there was a representative
from the SIKH community. He was all
dolled up with some silver bling necklace that had the motif abstract symbolism
of the hammer and sickle from that communist country. It looked sharp and I don’t think it should
have made it past security.
Sensenbrenner also mentioned that no county in Wisconsin
donates more money to the Republican Party than Waukesha County.
I have said that if I was elected to President of the United
States I would do everything that you would hate, but I would never promise to
give you pain. He started off the rally
and indeed told how he groomed Paul Ryan for Politics from the start.
And Mitt Romney saying that Paul Ryan is the best numbers
man for the job… well I find that taunting also.
There is something, some characteristic trait about all of
them thought, that I do like. For
example the way that Romney stands up on that stage reminds me of how I used to
act when I wore a suit in the investment business. What I do like about Ryan is that he has some
weakness in his voice and face and is not afraid to speak up and overcome it;
but it is a little scary- like it could
head off fast in the wrong direction and not be stopped. The speaker boomed out Rebecca Klayfishes
(sp?) voice and she sounded like the greatest screech owl in the world. And as I could not hear myself think I thought,
“What if the brief moments that I listen to that insufferable voice are the only
moments of clarity of thought the whole lot of them have to craft some
misguided policies.” I won’t get into
what else she said that bothered me other than the sound of her screeching
voice. Very interesting that they turned
the speaker up when she came to the podium.
And for a moment there I liked something about her expressive chutzpa. Yep and she was coached in the World Wide
Wrestling mannerisms of speaking too. Must be the input to the party by the Wrestling
show lawyer Santorum, who I did not see there.
As I saw the giant motorcade approach I could not help but
think about all the money being spent.
But that is something that politics is about that I do not understand;
glitz, glamour and showmanship. I do not
understand that part of politics and would tend to believe that it compensates
in balance on the seesaw for substance that provides working solutions. It bothers me. But in politics the statement argue with the
pig and the pig loves it applies here; so I will have to remind myself not to
be bothered as it deprives the pig? But
to not be bothered by it means that we take our eye off the problem and when
that happens the pig starts touting war.
All that noise gave me a big headache.
I just write it as I see it that’s all for now.
