RNC Convention Speakers Feature Rice, Martinez, Haley in Star-Studded Lineup

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.

What a boring convention!!!! Not worth watching and certainly won’t energize the base. Palin and Gingrich would have been worth watching. Spineless pubbies always look to snare defeat from the jaws of victory.

" You will have it on your conscience "

Nope. My conscience tells me if Romney blacklists Palin, who's given so much to the Republican Party, and to our country, then I can't support him.

If that gets Obummer re-elected, it's Romney's fault, not mine.

All Romney has to do is to give a little token gesture to Palin and us Tea Party supporters. If he won't do that, I won't support him. He can go f### himself and the whole Republican Establishment.

You have assumed that there are conservatives placing a higher value on getting rid of Obama than electing a Republican with less than Christlike pure conservative values.

That is not true. The only course acceptable is Christ like perfection and all else is unacceptable. The fact Obama and progressives win again is of no consequence since perfection, their self defined perfection, is not obtained.

There is also an element of vindictiveness. It is their way or the hiway, and if not their way, the hiway will be strewn with rocks and boulders and nails.

All this though will pass after the conventions and it becomes clear that there is but one possible course of salvation...... defeat Obama. There will be forth coming face saving revelations that permit a begrudging change of heart.

In the event you have not noticed, the “lineup” includes three Tea Party supported leaders, so it is not like they cut us totally out.

Sarah is being quiet for a reason so maybe if you subscribe only to her then take a cue from her as well. I smell your coffee cooking and it will burn soon if you don’t turn it off.

I like Sarah just as much, and I would say even more than you, but recognition of simple reality is far better measure by the wise than the impulsive. The wise use it to their advantage and the impulsive are just left holding an empty bag.

The bottom line is that I trust her to make her own decisions and to map her own strategy, and she definitely has one. Bank on it. So, take your cues from her if you want to follow her, otherwise go join your loose cannon buddy with all the cute pre-formatted pictures and useless links that for some reason he/she feels is relevant to today’s reality.

IT IS WHAT IT IS.

Speaking of "tantrums" and "children" and whatnot, I mean.

Actually, eCSMaster is acting as a conservative adult.

Your comment "Have your temper tantrum you little child"
shows contempt for conservatives.

And that is typical RomneyBOT backstabber behavior, is it not?
You can do better, Kaslin.
