He made a mistake... He said, “TEA Party changed the culture of America”... The TEA Party is changing the culture BACK to the way it SHOULD be.
Let the usual suspects cry about hardly any supporters. In spite of the rain and humidity, she can still out draw anyone else out there.
This guy is from l.a.? Where’s he been hiding?
He was saying, "it's not only going to be about the governor's vision IF she runs..." and then appears to mouth "WHEN SHE RUNS!"
I for one, am hoping this will be Sarah's speech:
"Everyone is speculating as to whether or not I will announce that I am running for President, and today, I'm not going to do that.
Instead, today, I am announcing my intention to WIN the Presidency!"
I’m seeing some guy named Simon.
I missed it :/
Found another link that is showing it live.. the other one was delayed :/
Tony Katz is channeling the late Alan King with his fat cigar and stage presence.
I got to meet Marco Monday night. He's every bit as charismatic as everyone has been saying,IMHO! He would make a great VP for Sarah!
You wrote: “A Brit at the TEA Party? :)”
I take your point in the jest :)... But don’t be surprised: My GOP County Chairman is a naturalized American Citizen by way of the UK. He is also a Retired British Royal Navy Commander. Truly a GREAT AMERICAN he is!
I asked him how it was he left the UK to become an American. He told me that he recognized the “leftward lurch” of the UK some 14 years ago and decided to get out. Unfortunately, as he stated: “The leftward lurch and the associated socialism followed me here.”
CSPAN just did a pan of the crowd, there are a lot of people there.
lol, I meant nothing bad about it at all ;^)
I was just surprised... I think it is GREAT non-American born citizens are with us :D
Hey Iowa! Send us (Texas) your rain and we'll send you our Messkins. Deal? :-)
It does, but weather report saying it is 75.
yuk...
REST OF TODAY
Periods of thunderstorms in the late morning and early afternoon...then numerous thunderstorms late in the afternoon. Not as warm. High in the upper 70s. Southwest wind 5 to 10 mph shifting to the northwest in the afternoon. Chance of thunderstorms 80 percent.
I am watching live. The people are starting to come in now. there are many more than when this started. it’s still raining, but they are coming...and nobody is leaving.
Wish I’d seen the dodge commercial. We ff through them,,
I don’t know, but he needs to get out more often! I’m really enjoying his presentation, as is the audience. :-)
define a lot, please....hundreds? More than that? Thanks!
Thanks, that’s what I thought, but I wasn’t sure.
Sounds like you’ve got a delay, maybe 15 minutes or so.
Thank you for the weather update :) ... it’s strange that it looks cold.. lol
Wish is was a bit cooler here, although, it is about the same as the weather report you gave me (including the rain) ;^)
