(5,179 posts)who has held office as a Republican, at the Republican National Convention. That is how 99.9% of DUers are going to respond to it. This is a political web site for Democrats and most of us are concerned with getting President Obama re-elected. Throughout the RNC the president has been the subject of derision, lies, and covert (sometimes overt) bigotry. Mr. Eastwood's speech and delivery was bizarre and disturbing. Not only that, but he has obviously chosen to lie down with the proverbial dogs. If he wanted to be subversive, he could have refused to speak there and made some rational comments of his own elsewhere. OR, he could have spoken at the RNC and really caused a stir by saying he doesn't support Romney (I think he does, but whatever.) In any event, he should have been coherent. If you need to sit around conjecturing about what he might have meant, then he was ineffective.
