Tony was saying thousands....
Sound like another one speaking now. It's fine with me since our country is rooted in the British culture.
I like where he stated “We the Tea Party”, it was dramatic and pretty close to what I think is more catchy “We the TEAple”. Taxed enough already people= TEAPLE.
OK...lol she must have heard a commercial or something that had Sarah Palin’s voice because we were on the phone and I got kicked to the curb LOL! as she went flying into the other room. She said Sarah’s on! lol
Thx for all the info GL
Alan King, or I was thinking Pete Barbutti. Geeze, we’re old, Kristinn.
Krista Branch coming on. Love her music. It gets to me.
He is good, but I think the people were too busy holding on to their umbrellas and trying to keep dry to be much engaged for the others.

Am told this is the first time it’s rained here since late June.
Link in post 135 is live
Link in post 145 is about 20-30 min delayed
Got it! Thanks!
If this gal has not been on Hannity yet I suspect she will be. She’s really good.
The cspan radio link is live I think (the singer is on) for those stuck with iPhones or iPads.

Ha! Perry can’t bring rain to Texas....oh But Sarah can bring it to Iowa!.....lol
I was there July 9-10 and it was hot, humid, and dry as a bone.
Wow, they’re cute :D
Krista Branch - She’s very good. First time I’ve heard her. I wonder if she will sing again later.
I found it on XM also.....
Agree. Krista Branch has a wonderful voice, unlike the Battle Hymn of the Republic sisters who are singing now. Ouch, my ears! My ears!
That song made me cry! I challenge everyone to post this song on their home page/facebook. Lets Roll!!! Go Viral
