Well, as you likely know.. I didn't make that stuff up.
I'm quoting from my betters.
is it on any network channels? I don’t have cable
He has MS, as does Ann Romney.
Can he dance with his particular MS symptoms?
Nope. Will NOT vote for Mr. RomneyCARE and his
endless deceptions.
Fooled once, already.
Drop to your knees for your Master, if you must;
but remember this post when he sells you out,
like everyone else. And he, the author of
death panels, will do that over and over.
Agree, onyx.
Thanks, KansasGirl, for posting live thread info and all the other info!
It will be later, but only for an hour.
You’re welcome.
If you go on the Senate web site Lisa Murkowski is listed as a Republican.
But somehow she’s not present?
Thought it was just me....actually turned him off this morning.
"Now is the time for ALL good men to come to the aid of the party."
I rewound the tape to watch Boehner and rove and romney try to stifle the grass roots in our party.We knew that would happen. I am voting now for Paul Ryan only and walk away from romney. It is just too much. This is third Reich stuff. I am ashamed but when we let these socialists win primaries we deserve it, Here is what they do.They rub a socialist against 6 conservatives— They win every time . Now they want to hand pick state delegations to stamp out any vestige of democracy. This is sickening.
Yes Rush has been a bit of a bummer last few days.
But....
....he makes a good argument.
.....what were those people trying to do today behind closed doors?
Something smelled bad and Rush was pointing it out.
So disheartened right now. Why in the world would the GOP establishment do something soooo stupid right after we had all come together to get rid of Obama?? It was so incredibly sneaky and underhanded.
Can’t wait to listen to Levin in a bit. I wish he was running for something...lol.
Update 3:34pm Eastern Dissidents have until 3:47pm Eastern to gather enough signatures to force the floor vote, according to right-leaning Examiner’s Tim Carney, who is on scene. Left-leaning BuzzFeed’s Zeke Miller, also on scene, says it appears dissidents have gathered enough signatures for minority report on Rule 12, but not yet on Rule 15(16).
Carney says that Drew McKissck has emailed a minority report to RNC leaders within the rules deadline…
***
Update: 4:34pm Eastern Well, that was…something else. First, Maine delegates were replaced with Romney people. Then, rules chairman John Sununu and GOP Speaker of the House John Boehner stood on stage at the RNC to rule on the compromise rules report. No minority report was mentioned. When asked for yeas and nays on the report, the room seemed equally divided. Boehner forged ahead and approved the report over loud boos and calls of “point of order” from activists on the floor.
No vote on the minority report.
FW’s Dean Clancy observes: “If @SpeakerBoehner had been wielding the Speaker’s gavel instead of the GOP convention gavel, he wouldn’t have gotten away with that trick.”
And the show went on…GOP Rep. Marsha Blackburn just declared that “this has been a great exercise in grass-roots” and that GOP stands for “Great Opportunity Party.”
Turner has spoken for conservatism and Repub Party in the past.
Too bad Catherine Zeta-Jones is not a conservative. If she were, this thread would be so out of control it would be funny reading the posts!
Have one for me...we're going to need it!
Yep..I am still just floored by it all. It was tyranny on display. And you are exactly right in how they deliberately split the conservative vote in ghe primary. I wonder how many so called conservatives were in on the game sometimes....????
This whole thing just spoiled my enthusiasm for the entire convention. I might get it back but it is doubtful.
Too bad Catherine Zeta-Jones is not a conservative.
No kidding. Although I don’t know her political thinking....I like it that way. Actors should just act like everyone says.
Um... no. New Jersey just put him over the top in the delegate count, so unless you plan to abduct him in the dead of night he's the nominee.
