2012 Republican National Convention Discussion

It's the first night of the college football season and ESPN has BYU vs Washington State on while Romney is speaking.

A little funny?

he says codification of the constitution

I googled the meaning and I get the IRS webpage!

In law, codification is the process of collecting and restating the law of a jurisdiction in certain areas, usually by subject, forming a legal code, i.e. a codex (book) of law.

Ancient Sumer's Code of Ur-Nammu was compiled circa 2100-2050 BC, and is the earliest known surviving civil code. Three centuries later, the Babylonian king Hammurabi enacted the set of laws named after him. Besides religious laws such as the Torah, important codifications were developed in the ancient Roman Empire, with the compilations of the Lex Duodecim Tabularum and much later the Corpus Iuris Civilis. These codified laws were the exceptions rather than the rule, however, as during much of ancient times Roman laws were left mostly uncodified. The first permanent system of codified laws could be found in China, with the compilation of the Tang Code in AD 624. This formed the basis of the Chinese criminal code, which was then replaced by the Great Qing Legal Code, which was in turn abolished in 1912 following the Xinhai Revolution and the establishment of the Republic of China. The new laws of the Republic of China were inspired by the German codified work, the Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch.[1] A very influential example in Europe was the French Napoleonic code of 1804. Another early system of laws is Hindu law framed by Manu and called as Manu Smriti, dating back to the 2nd century BC. The use of civil codes in Islamic Sharia law began with the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century AD.

Lol it is well known Mitt Doesn't speak real people English. So first you have to go back and figure out what it was he was trying to say, and then insert appropriate word that makes sense.

Wow! HOW is it that EVERY SINGLE SPEAKER prior to the "main event" spoke more determined and humbly?

LOL.

Ron Paul gives better speeches on CNN at 7am, than Mitt Romney did in 45 minutes in front of United States Of America.

I don't like making political predictions with no data to back them up.

But if that is all these guys have...they are going to get trounced.

I can't wait for the debates....can we schedule more please???

Yep, he is a chickenhawk. I have no doubt that we will be going to war if he gets elected.

At least this guy is better than the hopey/changey guy and his grandpa vp who apparantly still thinks slavery exists. God I hope people vote for him, because it's either him or Obama, and my God will someone please tell me how better off this country is since "hope and change" took office because I don't see it anywhere. More unemployment, more debt, more taxes, more gov't, more freedoms lost. I love it how people react so negatively on here towards Romney and all Obama did was take away your liberties. And all the Ron Paul people, get over it, yeah you can vote for him but you are just throwing your vote away, but you will rationalize it as a vote taken away from someone else. In that case why would you even vote? And no i don't want to hear your explanation as to your revolution. I don't even know what you are revolting about, that you can throw away your vote? funny stuff.

All I know is that this guy won't bail out big auto, big bank, et al. It's so simple it's not even worth arguing anymore.

Romney would have been better off laying down his plan in details than slamming Obama.

I mean..really..who doesn't know that things have been bad. Does he really think he has to keep pointing it out every few seconds?

Hopefully Obama will come out with a turban on and expose himself in a drunken stupor

You lost any and all credibility the moment you invoked Palin. But go ahead and vote Romney, and in three years when your drafted for one of the five wars we will be in. Or in jail for not wearing your magic underpants, not attending your church and using your fleshlight while surfing the internet for porn because your girl won't give it up because the pill is illegal, please refrain from complaining.

The economy has gotten better since Obama took office, thats a fact

Oh really his plan were all in attendance! Yes they are the 1% Did you read my post above and in romneys final and shouting words what his plan is?

Codification of the Constitution!!!

Ancient Sumer's Code of Ur-Nammu was compiled circa 2100-2050 BC, and is the earliest known surviving civil code. Three centuries later, the Babylonian king Hammurabi enacted the set of laws named after him. Besides religious laws such as the Torah, important codifications were developed in the ancient Roman Empire, with the compilations of the Lex Duodecim Tabularum and much later the Corpus Iuris Civilis.

Read your history to know just how many lives can be sacrificed in the name of law and of a dictatorship.

Did they not even fill that room???

I wonder what the attendance was for this convention...the upper decks there looked empty.

And when he is taxed up the kazoo to pay for all the crack babies born in America as well as the open border pregnancies we will pay for because abortion is illegal...

My thoughts watching it:

~I felt concern that Clint Eastwood was losing his mind on national television, though at last they got a decent actor on stage

~Having TWO ken barbie dolls will cause a chemical reaction that may bring on the apocalypse, The running mate should immediately be rushed to Perms/Toupees/Merkins R US! and demand the "Phil Donahue Grey Steel". Missing a elder statesman may cost them a win.

~I hadn't seen the Republicans this excited since Ronald Reagan invented Christianity.

~Member Stone butterfly mentioned to me, her deep concern that we caught a glimpse of Mitts magic Underwear.

~The actual attendees caught me off guard when I first flicked it on, I thought I had mistakenly turned on the Antique Roadshow.

~At the end of today, I am I am excitedly waiting for the appearance of the mini car on stage at this clown convention


To The Demos and The Republicans, all I have to say is :

A pox on both your houses!

The nose bleed section dedicated to the devout R.P. constituency. Blacked out and sound proofed. Sound familiar?

Well, it's official.....










Clint stole the spotlight and the chair...

so more unemployment and more debt equals a better economy? I guess my economics teacher had it wrong all along.

Yeah...you don't put a crazy old man before the most boring man in the world.

I know I'm biased...but I just don't think Romney made much of an impact with that speech.

Im still wondering about those magic undies!

And I am of firm belief that "invisible Obama" needs to make a guest appearance at the DNC!
