Yeah I know but you can always hope....what FNC did to her the other night was uncalled for.
ZzzZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.... Popcorn anyone?
LOTS of time now to get the dishwasher going, fold the laundry, knit a sweater...
I’d like a wake-up call, please...
At least the band is doing a good rendition of the 1966 hit “Give Me Some Loving.”
Yep, you have a point there. The Reagan video made the eyes water.
I put two kids through Christian grade school, Christian high school and am now sending both to Christian colleges. As you can guess, this has cost and is costing me a ton of money but I chose to send my kids to private school and made the choice to sacrifice and pay for their tuition.
I’m against “vouchers” because all it means is while I have to pay for my kid’s education, those whose parents are either unwilling or unable to pay will be given a voucher to attend the same school for “free”.
This will just serve to increase tuition rates as government subsidies always do, plus it may lower the quality of the private schools who will probably be forced to accept the voucher students.
+ Job creation
+ Emphasis on Free markets vs Obama's central planning
+ Tax breaks
+ Obamacare repeal
+ Eventually Medicare reform, but it will be soft-pedaled during campaign
+ Almost no foreign policy initiatives, and just as well
+ Immigration is a hot-button issue, probably would like to avoid it though I see Obama demagoguing from here on out
I'd like to see heavy emphasis on regulatory reform, eliminate strong arm agencies, or least greatly limit their powers, and cleaning out the Injustice Dept
I've not heard Sarah Palin comfirm that.
I'd rather weasels rip my flesh.
this guy singing isn’t very good...can’t that get some star power talent????
I’ll call you IF Clint Eastwood arrives.
OK, I’m back. I had to down two Red Bulls, ingest a handful of sugar cubes and take a cold shower. I think I’m back awake now.
To be fair, they were speaking in the last 90 minutes on Wednesday. Tonight looks pretty lifeless until the last 60-90 minutes as well. I have no idea why these conventions are so long. We’re almost fortunate Monday was cancelled.
Man, I think that band stinks! Super white bread...
-R
Jeb Bush must have had the same elocution teacher as The Kenyan.....they both drop their voice at the end of a sentence. Boring!
me too... anytime I hear him I get verklempt....I hope that video will be available on the web!
I’m thinking What-A-Burger and fries! LOL.
If you want to know why they are talking about choice in education...Watch the movie '2016" the scene near the end is chilling.
Parental responsibility only goes so far against the Teachers Union.
Washington State babe back
