See some posts I’ve made to the thread re: reaction to the speech/event and will try to add more tomorrow after I get home.

I was in the back of the banquet hall right next to the press pool location so I enjoyed glancing over at their stone cold faces while the greatest leader of our day was speaking.....

The video screens were very large and we had very good views of Sarah’s face and very good audio to hear the speech so being in the back of the room was no disadvantage at all.

By the way - the meal was also wonderful - filet mignon, mashed potatoes, asparagus, salad, delicious bread, and fabulous chocolate dessert with good iced tea and coffee. The servers did an excellent job of taking care of our table.

I knew only seekthetruth at our table and her hubby - whom I had just met in person when they found the table where I had saved them 2 seats.

Met a Marine from WV who does not do the internet and has no TV but who stood every time I did to applaud and cheer. He was concerned also that when he gets home he may have lost heat and if so I think he said he would lose water pressure??? He was a very nice gentleman and it was an honor to sit next to a Viet Nam vet who was wounded and therefore was forced to watch and listen Dan Rather trash him and our troops/cause back then. Seekthetruth came ready with Free Republic business cards which the marine gave to the young lady with him - not sure if it was his daughter or his wife,,,,. since he “does not do internet”.

The others at our table included a very nice couple from the local area who also stood up when I did - every time.

This couple also was given a FR business card - so I hope they all find FR and start learning and contributing here.

Some more notes:

I believe all at our table are Christians! The prayer at the start of the meal was led by a lady that I don’t even know her name but she spoke a lot about the need for the US to stand beside Israel - which drew many loud amens and applause - from our table too!

I was delighted that such a prayer and talk was given at this banquet. I know many Christians are active in the Tea Party movement and in the conservative political world...but these parts of the issues (from the christian point of view) have not really been stressed by the TP movement - so it did my heart good and was a confirmation to my heart and mind that what is taking place is indeed endorsed if not led by the Holy Spirit Himself!

(God takes no pleasure in judgement...)

Sarah Palin during her speech and/or her QA time referenced this need to return to the God our Creator who brought this country into being - and for candidates to not be intimidated into PC silence about their faith in Him!

That was good to hear also!

Oh .. thank you. That’s SO heartwarming
and encouraging. All of it .. all you
experienced .. sounds so great.

So glad you got to be with Seek and hubby
and spread the word about FR.

Seek .. that was So great that you brought
cards .... HUGS!

And the prayers ... bringing God into the
room .. just lifts my soul. We keep praying
for our dear America .. our Angel in the
Whirlwind is really busy ... ;) And we’re
SO thankful.

OH BOY .. SNL has a Rahm bit .. he starts
to apologize for his bad word, then launches
into the F bombs they’re bleeping. LOL
They’re bleeping him all over the place.
Rush will LOVE this.

Thank you again! Your dinner sounds delicious too! I keep saying the same thing “what a wonderful, memorable night!”

You were there while history was being made I am still teary-eyed and thrilled. One emotional mess. She came through patriotic and genuine and so loving and dear at home too. She’s just completely natural.

How nice that you met wonderful people! The VietNam Vet! Very special. God bless him. It’s so good when people share the same values.

WTG Seekthetruth with FR business cards!!!!

Our Sarah spoke wonderfully about God and I loved that. I am happy to hear that everyone liked that too.

I don’t know how you all manage to fall asleep tonight!!!
