What did we expect from the GOP-e though?

It appears that the GOP convention will feature a lot of Republican governors as speakers. This is in keeping with Romney's campaign which is selling the candidate as a competent, experienced leader willing to deal with the other side to solve our problems.
But I will guarantee you it won't sell with a lot of the conservative base.
Tampa Bay Times:
_________________________
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."
"Ours will be a world-class convention, worthy of the next president of the United States, and these speakers -- and those that will be announced later -- will help make it a truly memorable and momentous event," Priebus said.
The RNC did not say what day or time any of the headliners would appear at the Forum, where former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney will officially become the 2012 Republican presidential nominee.
Romney has not named his vice presidential running mate, though that person will get a prime-time speaking slot. Noticeably absent from the headliner list are several VP contenders: former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.

Worse. McCain is a traitor to America. He gave us Obama, on purpose. He literally threw the election, with malice of forethought.
The RINO's kicked our ass in the Primary, so they actually DO own the GOP.
Barf.
I do not give a **** what any of these morons have to say about anything at all.
Look at the bright side.
The GOP may have just done what Zero, the Democratic party, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, et al., the Congress and the SCOTUS, the MSM and the entire federal, state and local bureaucratic apparatus couldn’t do:
Reunited Free Republic.
Always look on the bright side of life...
If life seems jolly rotten,
There’s something you’ve forgotten!
And that’s to laugh and smile and dance and sing,
When you’re feeling in the dumps,
Don’t be silly chumps,
Just purse your lips and whistle — that’s the thing!
And... always look on the bright side of life...
Will have to hope that is Shark Week or that there are some reruns of Hogan’s Heroes on someplace...
Very few conservatives will be watching the Elitist snob convention known as the GOP convention. Most conservatives attended the REAL conservative convention last week which was held at Chik-fil-A.
Will there be any Republicans there?
GOPe: Bargain bin band of retreads replaying one hit wonders.
They have the players and a playlist for a platinum CD and a sold out tour, but they refuse to put it together.
Time to change stations. Those old sharks have been jumped enough!
There’s always the cooking channel. Or cartoons. Or go to a Chick-fil-A.
Actually, if conservatives mobbed Chick-fil-As when the RINO’s speeches are scheduled it could send a message to the GOP.
LOL Zell Miller was a democrat and he was a better conservative speaker at a GOP convention than those 3 put together.
Oooo-—John McCrazy and Mike Huckaboob as featured speakers! Can’t you just feel the excitement already??
LOL!
BASTARDS!
Where is the energy? Where is the excitement? Where is the youth and the young blood? Where are the risk takers? Wehre are the courageous?
McCain???????????????????????????? Please.
The RINOs DO own the GOP. You’re voting for Mittens, right?
Great comment!
