Only a couple of years ago Sam Olens was out Cobb County Commission Chairman. Now he addresses the nation at the GOP) Convention. First Larry McDonald, then Newt Gingrich and now Sam Olens breaks into the limelight.

Shows what we’re up against when some of these speakers are even allowed on stage.

What I’ve seen has largely been a bad mix of being back in kindergarten or listening to bad country music with lyrics that no one would buy an album of because it’s just too inane. The others should’ve taken public speaking and practiced in front of a mirror to avoid the mindless tics they exhibit. Best speech I’ve seen so far was the EX-DEM, with his lisp/marble mouth babble that no one in the room could understand (go back and watch it again).

I haven’t seen nearly enough people pissed off, demanding change.

Are our fellow citizens so brain dead that this qualifies as vote-winning entertainment? All this is doing is giving a bunch of moronic sound bites to those that would destroy the country to keep themselves in power.

All of those statements are true but still I hope that Romney doesn’t take too much foreign policy advice from McCain

For all his foreign policy "expertise", I can't recall a single conflict that McCain didn't want to get the U.S. involved in.

Very strange judgment from a former military man.

Similarly, McCain never encountered a problem that he thought couldn't be solved by a new government regulation.

Toughest vote I've ever made. Can't wait until he retires...

I’m guessing he’s more of a gun for hire for the music at the convention.

Yeah, as much as I'd like to believe he's happy to be there, I somewhat doubt it.

These interviews remind me of a bad SNL skit. Sorry.
