What with Thompson and Lieberman grunting and noise making during their speeches at convention?

Question

I have heard people say clearing your throat and heheh and making little grunt noises is because the people are lying , were they lying or just trying to make McCain's sound better then they are? Why didn't any one say much good other then being a war hero? Giving examples of character?

Answer 1

It is difficult to speak with that much makeup on. They had to hide their blushing, and the makeup causes allergic reactions.

I've been trying to document McCain's heroism through sources that were not under either his, his father's or his campaign machine's control, and come up a duster.

I'm really pleased that he has cut his own political throat with his foolish selection of a running mate.

Vote McCain, for U.S. Senate.

Answer 2

You guys ever try to actually listen to what is being said - or are you so entrenched in your partisan beliefs that you only hear the alleged "grunting and noise?"

Answer 3

He was find just need a little water, I loved the part were he said that Obama was claiming he wasn't going to tax people but he made a direct connection between the companies and the people in economic terms. Once companies get taxed they will imposed those taxes on the people eventually.  

Answer 4

I thought they were suffering from hemorrhoids.

Answer 5

I think that you are right on target. Some people are not good at lying. If that was the best Mcsame can come up with he is in big trouble. When Thompson gave his speech I actually felt sorry for poor old John. I mean how is  "picking up a stripper in your corvette"  going to improve this country?

Answer 6

I thought Thompson was dying.  Some of the faces in the crowd looked concerned too.   I just kept thinking that's why he was never really a contender.

Answer 7

Thompson was clearing his throat a lot.

I bet you it is true some might clear their throat a lot when lying, but considering Thompson is an actual actor, I doubt if that is the reason in his case.  He problably has allergies or is getting over a cold.

And it was barely noticable.  I didn't notice it until half way through the speech.

Liberman has always had a grunting quality to his voice.  I heard one comedian say he always sounded constipated.  (the star from Just Shoot Me)

Answer 8

They had trouble with their stomachs with trying to keep all that bile the lying down.
