Janine is doing more than any "hollyweirdo" ever HAS done for this country...and at the least she is on the RIGHT side of things.

FWIW, my most cherished DrO keep telling me Paul Ryan is one of the miracles we’ve been praying for, so trust in our good Lord and in your decision, sweet and dear friend, NGZ!

The Marxist is evil and we know he will destroy our Republic should he win reelection, so that can’t happen!

I continue to pray, but DrO tells me I’ll be on board come election day and I suspect he’s right. I’m anxious to hear from Paul Ryan and also from nominee Romney.

I know this much. Romney doesn’t hate America, but Obama does. In the end, I think that alone, will be good enough for me.

God bless and keep you and everyone you love.

[CottonBall]

After years of bitching about Obama, calling him a Marxist/Communist and fretting over how he is destroying the economy and constitution.

How much does Romney respect our rights and free elections if he is purposely shutting conservatives out of the party?

Not everything is as black and white as you are trying to pretend.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-15, A Time for Everything

“There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven ~
2 A time to give birth, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to uproot what is planted.
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to tear down, and a time to build up.
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance.
5 A time to throw stones, and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, and a time to shun embracing.
6 A time to search, and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep, and a time to throw away.
7 A time to tear apart, and a time to sew together; A time to be silent, and a time to speak.
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; A time for war, and a time for peace.
9 What profit is there to the worker from that in which he toils?
10 I have seen the task which God has given the sons of men with which to occupy themselves.
11 He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end. .
12 I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good in one’s lifetime;
13 moreover, that every man who eats and drinks sees good in all his labor, it is the gift of God.
14 I know that everything God does will remain forever; there is nothing to add to it and there is nothing to take from it, for God has so worked that men should fear Him.
15 That which is has been already, and that which will be has already been, for God seeks what has passed by.”

No, he did not cost the election with the Fluke comment. That is all forgotten. Remember that it is STILL on the economy.

[SE Mom]

I concur :)

[defconw]

I pray you are right. Paul Ryan is in MHO the genuine article and he is a young man. * years of the Mitt then Paul!

[CottonBall]

Some of you folks need to get off the drama queen express and get back to reality.

You're the one overreacting. And telling me Obama wasn't so bad after all - isn't that being a drama queen yourself? With taking my post out of context and fabricating things I've never said, you ought to apply at the MSM for a job.

And I said I'd vote for Ryan.

[CottonBall]

I continue to pray, but DrO tells me I’ll be on board come election day and I suspect he’s right. I’m anxious to hear from Paul Ryan and also from nominee Romney..

I'm hoping one of them will explain this fiasco in a way that makes sense. I'd like to get back some of my prior sense of hope and excitement that the Ryan pick created.

[IM2MAD]

Boehner up now. To me it seems like he’s reading off a teleprompter. Is there one hanging somewhere?

[SgtBob]

Just got home from work, turned on Faux, convention coverage....the damned place (convention center) is friggin’ empty...WTF?

[mikrofon]

“So a pencil-necked pResident walks into a bar, and says to the largely-unemployed patrons, “Why the long faces?”

[onyx]

I pray my cherished DrO is right -— that Paul Ryan is one of our miracles we’ve been praying for.

I continue to pray. I agree with you on Paul Ryan. He’s authentic. I also think he’s not a push over. I think he’ll have a strong voice in this administration and that is one of my prayers.

God bless and keep you and everyone you love.

[onyx]

GOOD!
God bless you, dearest SE Mom!

[napscoordinator]

Janine Turner is one of the most conservative, pro life folks in Hollywood!

I like Patricia Heaton. She is current and an actress who not only is conservative but acts in conservative shows.

[mikrofon]

Speaking of bars, did Priebus have a “liquid lunch” for dinner?

[napscoordinator]

Paul supporter? No....I wanted Bachmann and Santorum. If the GOP was serious about changing the United States, that combo would be our ticket.

[napscoordinator]

Thanks for the words of wisdom. I of course am voting for Romney (Ugh) but also the most conservatives that I possibly can down ticket. I am so glad to see you tonight. It was most needed! Family said hello and God Bless you too!!!

[defconw]

God Bless you and yours also Onyx. Those who can't vote for Romney, for crying out loud. Vote for Ryan. Obama has to go. I prefer it to be a peacefull thing.

[onyx]

I'm hoping one of them will explain this fiasco in a way that makes sense. I'd like to get back some of my prior sense of hope and excitement that the Ryan pick created.

God bless you, dear CottonBall. Keep praying.

Remember the Marxist is EVIL. He can't be granted a second term.

Paul Ryan offers us a true adult. A serious, brilliant young man, with a beautiful family.

I just don't see him rolling over to the large government GOP-E, which he's fought against his entire political career.
