That’s what I’m watching - CSpan....wish I’d thought about that last night.

[CitizenM]

They are doing a nice job of showing women as loving, smart, strong and worthy of respect. Quite the comparison to the bitter Dims. Well done.

The Republican women can speak intelligently on the economy, our national security, the national debt. The DNC women will be talking about free condoms, their vaginas, and same-sex marriage.

So which party is it again that degrades women?

[Sarah Barracuda]

I think Romney/Ryan has this election won, as long as Obama doesn’t pull some rabbit out of his hat(Like making sure elections dont take place or putting us at war with Iran). Obama and his minions will stop at NOTHING to make sure they win, WE have to stop them

[GVnana]

They’re different. But they’re the same in authenticity.

[Miss Didi]

Love it, Onyx dear! I am so tired of all the long years of every day waking up to some attack by the libs, the media’s tricks, always having to defend W when he didn’t fight back and screaming at our TV’s. We CAN do this, we MUST do this!

[free-in-nyc]

“Being successful in business is a GOOD thing!”

Take that, Obama!

[mojo114]

Me too.
God Bless

[arasina]

Paul Ryan wants to get Americas “Back in Black” financially!



ATTENTION: YOUR POST IS BEING SCANNED BY A HIGH-TECH RACIST INDICATOR MACHINE BECAUSE YOU USED THE WORD BLACK. ALL CLEAR.

;-)

[GlockThe Vote]

Condi , Martinez, amd Ryan were great tonight!

[peggybac]

You are so right. Thank you. I didn’t think of it in that context.

[newzjunkey]

Keep in mind she would’ve been working that job 35 years ago. Gun laws may have changed.

[onyx]

Which state was he from? I didn’t catch it.

I think by tomorrow it’s only 68 days to the election. Paul Ryan is genuine! Romney made the best choice. maybe too good of a choice, if Romney has plans for big government, because I can’t imagine VP Paul Ryan ever going along with anything he’s fought against all his career!

God bless and protect Paul Ryan and his beautiful family. The horrid monsters will be after him, just they went after our Sarah Palin.

[Homer_J_Simpson]

Does anyone recall the term “central planners” being used in a major speech by a Republican candidate during the last 50 or 60 years? Ryan’s use of it tells me two things. On the one hand we are in a bad way, and on the other those guys are serious about doing something about it.

[Girlene]

I very much liked the Greek Orthodox prayer. - I did, too.

Mr. Chairman seemed to have been hitting the "vanilla bottle" hard at the end.

lol, I know. He seemed quite happy, though.

[mylife]

I am watching the CNN focus group.
They are largely emotionally driven morons but Obama is losing them.

[Jrabbit]

Fox is all ready with the dims talking points.....about the GM plant closing....Carl the Snarl says Obambi bailed out GM. What the hey does that have to do with O’s broken promise????

[Tennessee Nana]

I thought Sarah Palin’s VP acceptance speech would never be overshadowed.

It wasnt

Paul Ryan came close though...

[onyx]

GOOD on you!

[comebacknewt]

Still a long way to go, and the Kenyan still has the media and demographics in his favor.

I am feeling MUCH better about out chances after this evening though.

Mitt still has to hold up his end of the deal tomorrow though. I’ve never rooted for him before, but tomorrow night I’ll be pulling for him to hit a home run as well.

Not only that, but the Republicans are making sure the economic message is coming across loud and clear as well. What do the Dims have? A Flukefest!
