Mitt Romney slaked the Republican's thirst for a rousing convention. I didn't think it would get that good, but it kept getting better all week. Excellent! Even Clint. I cannot believe the way the MSM has dissed Republican women, minorities and elderly. Unbelievably petty of them.

[tioga]

Rise and Shine! Only 66 more days until we throw the bum out for good!

Awesome convention! I enjoyed every minute of it. What was your favorite part?

[ConorMacNessa]

"As I awoke in the early morning,
To slake my thirst, it was my need,
I tried to rise but I was nae able,
Nancy Whiskey had me by the knees!"



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[Panzerlied]

I must slake my thirst for knowledge on something other than the MSM!

[ConorMacNessa]

Awesome indeed! An embarrassment of riches. It's hard for me to come up with a favorite part - but Paul Ryan is way up there - Ann Romney, too! Magnificent products of functional traditional families who have coped with and overcome great adversity. The Lefties are absolutely apoplectic and I'm loving it!

Were you playing drinking games during the convention? LOL A++

[tioga]

A++ Depend on the MSM and you are effectively neutered.

[SoothingDave]

I like this word. It brings back some good memories of young love.

[ConorMacNessa]

LOL! No, that song is so deeply ingrained in me that it just naturally came out. As it happens I'm an aficionado of that delightful concoction known as Single Malt Scotch. Unfortunately, in the dismal economic swamp caused by the misbegotten policies of the Obama Regime, I am having difficulty justifying the cost of same. Yet another reason to throw the b@$t@**s out!

..........stark differences.

[secret garden]

And so I always bear the cup
If, haply, mine may be the drop
Some pilgrim thirst to slake --

If, haply, any say to me
"Unto the little, unto me,"
When I at last awake.

A little Emily Dickinson to start the day, after an emotional night.

Andrea needs a clue:

Andrea Mitchell ‏@mitchellreports Leaving Tampa for DC join us 1p #mitchellreports by then I'll have figured out the empty chair

I doubt she can if she hasn't figured out the empty suit after 4yrs.

A++ What a night! Loved it all. Not disappointed one tiny little bit.

Slake
1. To satisfy (a craving); quench: slaked her thirst.

Sure, like a milk slake. Just mix ice cream and whiskey and it’s just the same as that store bought Bellies Irish Cream.

It’s called Bellies cause if you drink enough it will be leaving your belly right quick like. Yep, just that way you’re thinking.

There’s also a rock called slake but I think that’s just by people getting stoned on Bellies.

[SoothingDave]

Somehow Irish cream works mixing alcohol and dairy products in a way that drinking a 6 pack and then having a Burger King milkshake doesn’t.

[tioga]

LOL A++

Did you see the delegate from Yinzervania last night? Penguins game jersey and a black fireman’s hat with a Steeler logo on the front.

[tioga]

Missed that. I just saw Juan Williams on F&F with nothing bad to say about the RNC. Wow. Now I am speechless. Well...not really.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Red meat, the right craves when we wake
But hunger, the Convention did slake
Obama, the boaster
Nailed by Paul Ryan’s “poster”
The line that I thought took the cake

[xsmommy]

Saw an oddball in a firemans hat but didn’t identify the jersey/steelers logo. Why do people feel compelled to be a spectacle?
