Sounds like fun already ... the Tampa Bay Times released the names of some of the speakers slated for the RNC convention in Tampa later this month, and it looks to be a promising lineup. The Times reported that, as of now, it's unclear where these speakers are slotted, and the rest of the lineup--including the keynote speaker--remains unknown. Names so far include conservative powerhouses New Mexico Gov. Susanna Martinez and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. Florida Gov. Rick Scott is also speaking.
Here's a portion of the Times report:
Florida Gov. Rick Scott, Sen. John McCain and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice are among seven headline speakers announced today for the Republican National Convention in Tampa.The first look at featured speakers also includes South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez.
The keynote speaker and others will be named closer to the Aug. 27-30 event, Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus said in announcing the headliners, whom he called "some of our party's brightest stars, who have governed and led effectively and admirably in their respective roles."
So far, the lineup looks off to a fairly good start. Conservatives will definitely be represented well--both socially, with the inclusion of Mike Huckabee, and practically, with competent and current gubernatorial voices like Martinez and Haley--and Rice remains a popular figure in the GOP.
I will explain in Freepmail
The very post to which you counterposted that querulous quaver is the one where I posted my answer: 67 GOP senators. Perhaps you neglected to read it before you hit "POST".
That'll stop the b.s., no matter who's in 1600 ..... unless it's Mittens and he calls in all his party-leadership chips to turn the GOP caucus to voting with the 'Rats! ["Oooooh , he would SO not do that!" Yeah, right.]
Calm down.
The RNC will put McCain on the list. They dont care what we think. Why would they? They will always assume we will support them no matter what they do.
That is what they are about. After all Romney is a Republican establishment liberal. McCain the RINO is abuddy of Romney. Look at him attacking Bachmann recently.
The RNC is out to prove the Democrats main point : That this is the same party that put Obama and Pelosi in power in 2006 and 2008.
Nothing changed there.
It was the Tea Party who came to the polls in 2010, and the ramming stopped!
Also, please remember that it was Manor Bush and the RNC Ivy League princelings who were incumbent during the 2006 disaster, and who were still incumbent in the Oval Office when Barky achieved his all-concealing, all-empowering MSM chrestomathy and "immaculation".
The Tea Party didn't do any of that, and none of the bad things that have happened, contrary to what the RNC bullsteerers will tell you, have been caused by the "moral downfallenness" and "lack of education, preparation, and sophistication" and "bigotry" and "racism" and "nativism" and "backwardness" of Tea Party Conservatives, but only by people like Olympia Snowe and John McCain and Chuck Hagel and the infamous Lisa Murkowski voting with the Marxist-Leninists.
No she has not. Also see post#27 by me and the link to the YouTube video by deport in post#79
No dearie thats me in #44...
You can tell its me because Im left handed...
With that said, we all know how malleable Mitt is so if we have a strong Conservative House and Senate, he can be pulled to the right jut as easily as he was pulled to the left in Mass
Willard was NOT pulled to the left in Mass. He was to the left of Kennedy and bragged about it. Geesh!
Vet the guy will ya!
I vetted him four years ago and nothing has changed my mind in that I did not want him, but the reality is that we have him now or Obama. You make your choice. Geesh! Reality sucks sometimes.
That is why I'm voting for Brunner tomorrow.
Why would Rice be invited to speak? Is there any evidence she is a conservative, let alone a Republican?
“The same can be asked of you.”
Since I am not likely to be asked to speak at the Republican convention, I suppose your comment must have been addressed to my second question: “Is there any evidence she is a conservative, let alone a Republican?”
While I admit it can be argued whether I am a Republican, there is no question that I am a conservative. If not, pull up my posting history and prove otherwise.
Now, since you seem to have taken issue with my question about Rice, can you point me to information regarding her views on whether she prefers the Fair Tax over the flat tax, what federal departments she favors eliminating, how she would devolve power back to the states, her views on the RKBA, if she supports round-ups of illegals (such as Sheriff Joe Arpaio conducts), repeal of ObummerCare, etc., etc. If, in fact, Miss Rice is a conservative I have missed her pronoucements that would indicate such. Perhaps you can enlighten me.
If she is a solid conservative, I would be glad to learn that. If she is not, why would she be invited to speak? Didn’t she support Zero in 2008?
Reagan mentioned something about rebuilding the Republican party and that a third party wasn’t the answer to our woes.I’d follow his lead. Weed out the RINOs,send a clear message to the rest that they better snap-to and do what we elected them to do or hit the road,and we will see a GOP that truly represents us.
” Remove McCain and replace him with Scott Walker.
It’s just stupid to put McCain up there.”
McCain will hurt us, because that has been his goal since 2000. He hates conservatives. He is also a head case. Horrible choice.
What? You mean the mem of diversity and crusty old men, one of which is a consummate Leftist, the other an uninspiring throw back to the 90s, doesn’t spark your political juices.
Why don’t you go back to D. U.? What’s that you say? Oh, that’s what they do support over at D. U. Hmmm...
Now go Rense Prebus. Yeah! Great job... I know Conservatives will get behind this. Yea! On to victory...
Small rodent on the left should of this clown says to another, what planet did this fungus come from?
Sen. John McCain? Are you kidding me? Former Ark. Gov Mike "I can put you to sleep"? These are not STARS, These are Peasants. I wouldn't shake McCains hand if he walked into my office. Huckabee is incapable of Riling up ANYONE, much less a group at a Republican Convention. I'm really embarrassed by reading this article. What a G.D. Sleepfest. Condi Rice contributes nothing, but she'll probably incite the crowd the most, of everyone listed.
LOL,you forgot :”How much are they paying you to post here?”
that line always makes me spit out my soup .
