One of the best speeches of the night. I gave him many standing ovations. We need more Artur Davis’s on our side, what a difference 4 years make, I am glad he saw the light and is now on our side

All the speeches tonight were excellent. When you have the truth it finds a way to shine through.

Pray for America

It was indeed brilliant. He moved a lot of people, you could see it in the people’s faces.

Didn’t watch it. I confess to be truly confused about this man.

1. Watched him elected as a U.S. Rep from an overwhelmingly black district in AL. His dominant interest was health care.
2. Watched him rise to be among the very first in Congress to endorse BHO’s 2007 candidacy.
3. Watched him run in the state primary for governor. He lost to a very weak white candidate, who in turn, lost in the general election. Black voters, who previously supported him in droves, turned hard against him when he expressed doubts about ObamaCare.

I know the great Ronaldus Maximus came over to the GOP from the dark side, and I remember Governor Zell Miller (GA-D) speaking at the 2004 GOP convention. Yet, I cannot forget Colin Powell, Condoleeza Rice, and J.C. Watts showing support for BHO in 2008.

What’s that old fable about the frog and the scorpion?

Very salient points for the non kool-aid drinking electorate (conservative democrats and independents).
