They don't call the GOP the stupid party for nothing.
oh cant wait, the suspense is killing me.
Can;t wait for him to pick some other boring no emotion RINO, pro homo, pro liberal socila issues guy for VP too.
Gingrich, Palin and Cain need to speak. It’s a convention. We need red meat, not let’s all get along dullards.
I wish he’d pick Gingrich as VP.
This Reince ‘and repeat’ Priebus is an absolute moron. McCain?Huckabee? No Sarah?? The RNCe is stuck on stupid!!
Stupendously underwhelming.
Conservatives, your party has been co-opted. What will you do about it?
There are a lot of people in the GOP who love his social conservative credentials AND his social justice economics. How do you think he got elected governor of Arkansas twice?
What I find more telling about this list of speakers, however, is that it probably means none of them will be selected as VP.
What a freakin’ neocon liberal socialist lineup.
What a freakin’ neocon liberal socialist lineup.
I don't like the GOP establishment either, and their picks. However, I will point out that Mike Huckabee was one of the driving forces behind the Chick-Fil-A support. Huckabee is a solid moral conservative; even if lacking in other areas. I will be surprized if he gives Romney more than a Luke warm mention.
Typical Liberal Willard...
Dump the Conservatives and the TEA Party...
The Palin snub is now officially confirmed.
Whaaat? No Dole?
RNC Chair trumpeting the me-too diversity credo.
- Talk Radio hosts Limbaugh, Levin, Hannity, Wilkow ??
- Celebrities Norris, Nugent, Eastwood, Stallone, Willis, Downey ??
- Pundits Coulter, Malkin, Crowley ??
The RINO’s in control of the RNC are trying to throw the presidential election again just like 2008. The Huckster and McLame. Surprised that Lindsay Grahamnesty is not on the list.
Oh joy.
That isn’t the GOP Convention it’s the RINO Convention.
How is it officially confirmed? This is just the “first wave” of announcements. Left out are some people who will obviously be there, such as Christie and Rubio.
Netflix and channel surfing will see tremendous gains.
I will watch Gov. Martinez, because I am not familiar with her. As for McCain, Huckabee, Rice, et al., I wouldn’t waste the time.
if they don't, we need to turn the convention into a Conservative equivalent of '68 DNC in Chicago.
God, these people are so friggin STUPID
No Scott Walker, No Gingrich, No Cain,
Wow, this is a terrible lineup.
What about Trey Gowdy? Now that guy can fire up some people.
What about Mike Kelly?
I am sure that EVERY speaker has endorsed the GOP’s candidate for president.
If Palin has decided not to endorse in this presidential race, can you blame the GOP for filling her spot with someone who IS on the team?
Every speaker is going to say something like this: “.... so join me in helping to elect ______ President of the United States!”
If Palin can’t do better than “... help me to elect Anybody But Obama!” then why would the GOP want her to speak?
(If you were running for office, would you let someone speak at your banquet who has not endorsed you?)
Hopefully by 2016 the TEA Party will know better and run a parallel convention. It would be conservative nirvana where the real business takes place.
He'll be there, you just won't see him crouched down in the lectern when McLame is speaking. Hey Laz, did you not recognize the half a loaf they were throwing to the Tea Party with Martinez, Scott and Haley?
Oh Lord, Trikki Nikki...
She will be in town, but is too savvy to crash the convention.
But will draw some of the media attention away from the RINO love fest.
Here's some recent history for you..
The 2008 lineup had at least 30 speakers. Based on that, this list is only 25% of who will be speaking. I'm thinking they are saving the best for last!
Seriously, if you were a candidate for public office would YOU invite someone to speak at your event if they refused to endorse you?

True...Palin has yet to endorse the GOP candidate...not sure why she would get a slot at this point.
“Conservative gop activists” Carolyn Kennedy, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Michael Moore, Chris Matthews and Bob Beckel will headline the gop convention in Tampa... and then the progressive wing of the gop will be heard from.
If the Republican Party understands the significance of and the power behind the American Peoples rejection of the party of the left, they will reaffirm their allegiance to our Constitution, our Declaration of Independence and our way of life at the national convention.
And then they should come out swinging at the leftists who are taking increasingly bigger, bolder steps away from the Constitution.
Does not Priebus and his friends recognize the Democrats are unceasingly moving US towards a method of government they still send our military halfway around the world to battle?
Stupid like a den of foxes.
I’m thinking they are saving the best for last!

My short list of convention speakers would include Rick Santorum, Clint Eastwood, Sarah Palin, Herman Cain, Newt Ginrich, Dennis Miller, Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan and Michelle Bachman.
So they have decided to play the “me too” game by including, ‘first” gender/race” in the bios. Guess we can probably look forward to Lindsey Graham too then. And, do we have someone in a wheel chair who could speak? We got the “old” and “young” boxes checked off.
Where is DeMint? Gov. Walker of Wisconsin? Palin? Newt? this is disgusting. Romney and the good ole boys in the establishment are not uniting the true conservatives.
Somebody had to get booted out of the tent to make room for all the crisco butts satisfied with an occasional political reach around.
Do people on either side actually watch this crap? I wouldn’t watch regardless of who is on.
Real life and death problems and both sides have a wrestling event with scripted promos. Complete with each person getting their theme music as they walk out.
Just stupid from both political sides. Total crapfest and boredom from complete hacks and phonies.

Given the history, I’m sure they would say that it is WE that are trying to co-opt their Grand Old Party. It’s the problem we face with only two parties. As folks recoil in horror from what they wrought last time, they flee into the big tent, but their tidal influx keeps the party moving leftward. Not that I agree with that, necessarily.
Yeh, really. More of the same old garbage from the same old wastebaskets.
Look, Mitts going to be a good president, and I think when you look at what Obama has done and what Mitt Romney brings to the table in terms of being able to manage something, anything.”
Well, I guess Mike has lost credibility in my eyes (although he did say “good” not “great” - this could be damning with faint praise). Thanks for the information.
Has Sarah Palin been as vocal in support of Romney?
Thanks again for the quote by Mike Huckabee. I am afraid that Mike has, like so many before him, been infected by that terrible virus known as “party loyalty.” This disease keeps, otherwise conservative, folks from opposing a bad call by someone in their own party...or someone in their party running for office.
McLame but no Palin.
Screw you RNC
“My short list of convention speakers would include Rick Santorum, Clint Eastwood, Sarah Palin, Herman Cain, Newt Ginrich, Dennis Miller, Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan and Michelle Bachman.”
Except for Palin (and maybe even including her), I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re soon attacked for any or all of the rest of your choices. Circular firing squad.
