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.

Well, I know they are trying to make the message more personable, but I agree with you, it just seems ill-conceived and sophomoric.

Haha yeah! First Yassh, then Tad.

I think Tad got the shaft in the name game. “Tad True”. Did his parents WANT him to be thought a liar?

All fun aside, he brought up good points. Too bad no one but CSpan viewers heard them.

She sure didn’t give any hints on her fb post. I hope it is because she is headed to the convention but I don’t have that much faith in Romney and his advisor Rove. Still pissed off at the GOPe elites after yesterday and the tyrannical rule change. I feel like they are a bunch of ingrates..seeing as how the Tea Party gave them the house back and will soon give them the senate. We have to pull together now I suppose but boy do we have work to do!! First order is to get rid of Boehner as speaker and his little dog from South Carolina. Can’t think of his name right now...but he has been a huge dissapointment!!

The musical interlude is worse than waterboarding and bamboo shoots under the fingernails at the same time!

I think it is related to zealot comments and fox must be scared that Palin can say something on AIR.

Fox News was quick to respond with the following statement from Bill Shine, Fox News’ EVP of Programming.

“Our plans changed based on the fact that the RNC condensed the schedule of speeches from four nights to three. We look forward to having Governor Palin back as soon as we can.”

You said a mouthful Pen.

First order get rid of the commies in Govt. second order RINO EXTERMIATION. I'm so pissed at what the did to Sarah I can't see straight.

FNC better remember we are the ones who gave them their numbers and if they keep it up we can get rid of those same numbers. It won't take much more of their shenanigans.
