Your little boy just made my night. :) The Romneys told Chris Wallace that their 4-year old grandson Johnny asked him recently—Papa, did you beat Barack Obama yet?

“One of the most brilliant and moving speeches I ever heard!”

~ ~ ~
Strong, powerful, a full of God speech. Sad though, Santorum’s last words about Romney and Ryan being for life, there was no strength in his words, just a moment before.

You could see it in Santorum’s face and hear it in his voice.

None of the speakers, including Cruz, closes the sale — the Obama appproach cannot work, will not work, because government cannot produce WEALTH. Government can only create grinding proverty.

They may be showing him now but they cut to commercial when Santorum was done. They had a tiny thumbnail of him during the commercial but...gimme a break.

I’m on CSpan now.

Cruz:

Can we restore the Constitution?
YES WE CAN!

Can we retake the Senate?
YES WE CAN!

Can we repeal Obamacare?
YES WE CAN!

Can we defeat Barack Obama?
YES WE CAN!

Restore the American love story

That is change we can believe in.

First exposure to Cruz and he is making a very good impression. Glad to see Cruz and Santorum given a good platform.

Watching the live stream on YouTube. No commercials or annoying liberal commentators.

He should have said: “With no apology to Obama!” Cruz is very good. He does not need to, nor should he, patronize the Kenyan!!
Screw being nice to that guy! He is the enemy!

Sorry, but I don’t trust Artur Davis as far as I can throw him.

I continue to pray. I’m not on board with Team Romney yet, but I realize the Marxist can’t be allowed a second term. He hates America, whereas Romney doesn’t, and the Marxist will utterly destroy our Republic.

When I reach my prayerful decision, I will be voting for Paul Ryan, just like I voted for Sarah Palin.

A lot can happen between now and election day. Our good Lord works in mysterious ways and I trust in Him.
