If you don’t want the truth, don’t listen to Rush!

For the better part, we’re TEA Party conservatives here.

Are you guys watching this? What were those yahoos chanting at that poor woman from Puerto Rico? Was it "Kick them out?"

The rest of the crowd shouted them down with "USA! USA!"

I think we are coming undone as a party. We must beat obama. Romney is off to a very bad start. I’m not a Paulinian but he represents over 10% of this party— That the 10% we must have to win. The report on Dennis Miller radio today was that the delegations from Kansas , Maine , Iowa and Louisiana have been shoved in the back of the hall so they cannot be heard and they are furious. The idiot romney is insulting entire state legally constituted delegations.That is NOT good sport fans.We need a BIG tent or we are history.

Boehner declared them passed, on a voice vote that seemed to me to be far from unanimous. Lots of booing. I think Boehner and the RINOs have just told us to shut the hell up. I hope I am wrong, but think not.

It looked to me, from reading their lips, like they were shouting "Seat them now."

Janine Turner? Good Lord. Why are we having her on. She is a total has been. Hollyweird has no part of this. Romney is pushing this liberal Hollyweird thing and I wonder why.

You are not wrong. Romney got us banished with a wet knife.

We are standing around there wondering what just happened.

Those yahoos were my fellow Texans lady and they were not shouting down the woman from puerto Rico. Get your facts straight. They were pissed about the rule changes.

A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.

I have been in and out all day and I am not sure what is going on either, other than some rule changes that will benefit the GOP establishment. Should anyone be so kind as to provide me with an executive summary of what is happening, I would GREATLY appreciate it.
