Who picked the "Back in the Game" band?

Fools. Hope he doesn't break his hip running around crazy like he is having a seizure.

Sorry to be so mean, but that was a useless waste of time. It did not give GOP street cred or anything.

I suspect she’ll be the “mystery” speaker tomorrow. There’s a big hole without her speaking. I like her, not over-the-top nuts over her, but still feel that her absence makes no sense. That’s why I think she’ll be there.

Rand Paul after Obamacare! Go Rand! “It’s still unconstitutional!”

Now after “You didn’t build that.”

I agree and it might be the real reason why FoxNews cancelled her appearances tonight.

Rand Paul is taking “You didn’t build that” to task!

I liked that he said Obama’s thinking was backward. The government did not work to make the money that built that damn road. We did!

Rand Paul is giving the best speech I’ve heard so far at this convention.

I like how he is making it personal. Telling personal stories, and then saying, “Don’t tell them they didn’t build that.”

Ugh, CNN just zoomed in on some Ron Paul nut with a bunch of Ron Paul buttons. One button had a marijuana leaf.
