So much more work to do, but this was a good start to the convention. Pay the KBHs no mind — this is our time!

I admire your positive outlook. I just believe we need to pull together and wish we could all focus on beating the Marxist and his minions. But you're right; this is our time! Let's win this thing!

I agree with you that Megyn is a real distraction among the lions of political analysis and their experience.

But, I think the same of 98% of the “blonde babe” approach FAUX uses.

I read where FOX dresses the females in HD compatible colors, fitted tight, spike high heels, with a preference for white hair blondes to please the Fox demographics - Men 50 +. I was surprised at that.

A former FOX “babe” was outing the practice.

I think he’s a racist. I tried to find the article written by him, but I’m too tired. He called the Tea Party racists without any evidence.

[onyx]

I did and I really like him!

I think her speech will go down as one of the classics.

And I missed it! I heard a lot of the other speeches tonight (some or all of Kasich, McDonnell, Haley, Walker, Davis, Christie). But usually I am not too interested in hearing a candidate's wife. So that's the time I chose to go walk the dog, etc. But now I'm reading all these glowing comments about Ann Romney's speech, how she knocked it out of the park, and so forth. So maybe I'll have to see the video.

I forgot to mention Santorum. His speech was good, too.

Paul Ryan offers us a true adult. A serious, brilliant young man, with a beautiful family.

I just don't see him rolling over to the large government GOP-E, which he's fought against his entire political career.

If after something like 7 terms in office, he hasn't caved yet - he likely won't.

I read a bio of him in The National Review just shortly before he was picked. Seems he's been fighting for his budget ideas since the very beginning, when he only had a couple of other congressman to support him. He's been consistent, that's for sure. Something unusual for a politican.

Yes, I'll keep the prayers going. Thanks onyx.

Yep, and the trolls are allowed to stay and try to help the Kenyan Marxist get re-elected. That is precisely the reason I don’t come to FR very often anymore. I refuse to be a part of any site or anything that in any way, shape of form aids and abets the enemy.

[mojitojoe]

I was a little disappointed. Don’t get me wrong, it was a great speech, BUT I wanted him to go after the Kenyan Muslim Marxist Homo and he didn’t.

[mojitojoe]

I want to hear somebody call Obamalamadingdong a Socialist POS. Him and his peeps need to be called what they are

That is the ONLY part of your post I agree with. The rest is horsesh*t.

He’s such an a$$. I wonder if they lit into him and he took off and went to his room and pouted. I could tell Meagan was pissed.

[mojitojoe]

Yes he did and I think they handed him his arse on a platter and he crawled away to pout and Peggy took his place.

We noticed the same thing. I heard the Alaska delegation is supposedly staying at the Postcard Inn on St. Pete beach. Is she there?

[mojitojoe]

I think securityman had 2 tabs open and thought he was posting on DU and accidentally posted it here. A big oops. He is outed.

[mojitojoe]

An outed troll. Lots of trolls will expose themselves as their heads begin to explode from now until November.

[mojitojoe]

Amen
