So... I guess Pro-Gay, Pro-Choice Clint Eastwood wasn't as moderate as many redditors thought.

Seriously, right now he's having an imaginary conversation with Obama at the chair right next to him. What the hell Clint.

Mr. Eastwood, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Mr. Yaz420, what you've just said is the exact same thing you said in another [post] (http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/z42vh/clint_eastwood_is_senile_and_watching_him_now/c6198p7). At no point were you original. Everyone in this room is now bored for having read it, twice. I award you no points.

To be fair, most of his criticisms of the chair would have you think the chair was conservative. He attacked it for invading Afghanistan. Told the chair that Mitt Romney would bring all the troops home. The only liberal thing it seems the chair is guilty of is gitmo. I'm so confused where he got the idea that republicans are anti-war.

You can be pro-gay and pro-choice and support whomever you want. You accept some things are more important than others and choose whomever supports your views on what matters most to you.

He also seemed to be anti-war, and under the impression that Romney has promised to bring the troops home immediately. Also, I remember him recently doing some commercial about GM's recovery, in support of the bailout.

Oddly, despite his anti-war statements, he seems to like gitmo. Such a strange speech.

He got the republican convention applaud the notion that the afghan war was a mistake and the troops should get home as sson as possible. Sounds pretty liberal to me.

Also, if that doesn't close the deal for Obama, I don't know what will.

Many swing voters have got to be questioning Romneys judgement after seein this.

He didn't outright support Romney in the speech, criticized Obama for not closing Gitmo and ending the wars sooner, and didn't contradict a single view he had before this. I don't know why reddit is in such an uproar about this. Is he such a good actor that people think he really believed Obama was sitting next to him?

Maybe he prepared a speech expecting that Obama would really be in that chair. He only found out in the last moments before the speech that Obama couldn't make it in time.

I'm pro gay and think its a woman's choice but like him I don't want Obama as president. Haters feel that those two things alone make a conservative and they don't. Back off of the man.

Back off of the man.

That man shared his incoherent, bizarre, and non-factual views on national television. Accordingly, valid criticisms of this man's public speech ARE fair.

Although bizarre (He's in his 80's) he still didn't read them from a tele prompter. We both know some idiot thought it would be a good idea to put him out there and that is the true person to blame for in no way vetting the man for mental stability before he went onto stage, He did seem to fire up the crowd in the end though (strangely enough). Yes I agree, valid critisisms are fair.

He came out as a surprise speaker at the RNC. Fully supporting Mitt Romney.
