I do, too....
we will never give up!
OK, well I hope so. When I saw him speak, he was dealing with the details of why Obamacare is a disaster and was hitting the points but not with a lot of passion. I didn’t think he was a charismatic speaker from what I saw, but I hope I’m wrong because we need them here and so far they’ve been too few and far between.
“It is time for a major purge of this party after this election!! I’ve had enough of the GOPe crap and so have millions of us.”
Or...as said in medical terms........the GOP needs an enema and we KNOW where to put the tube!
I have to tell you, this is embarrassing. We have the weakest speakers I’ve ever heard. Portman put me to sleep. No one even applauded. Then we have this guy from PR.
We have done nothing but pander to every demographic but the white conservative; we have puerto ricans, african americans, Indians, terrible musicians, woman after woman, a fat singer who is terrible , etc.
Not one piece of red meat in this entire debacle.
This is the Rodney King “Let’s just get along”
Geez. Tomorrow I’ll have to listen to Rubio.
No newt, no Cain, no Bachman, no Palin.
They couldn’t even throw us a freakin bone. We might get to listen to the geriatric Clint Eastwood.
Alright!!!!
Didn't catch band name...anyone catch it. I like them. Like the upbeat!
That Gov Fortuno from PR was good but I wish he had pumped it up a bit...
are they told to be subdued or something ???
Anyone know how far out acts are booked and speech givers chosen?
just wondering.
What time does Paul Ryan speak?
I liked the two Attorneys General reminding everyone of the facts of Obamacare. Pam Bondi was one, and the other one I don’t remember his name....from Georgia, I think.
gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggood band
Unbelievable isn’t it?
This convention is NOT about the conservatives...to satisfy them, its to get the 3-5% of the swing votes. those people are not as informed or ideological as we might be.
Rising Republican star Mia Love’s Wikipedia page was vandalized overnight with racist and sexist epithets.
The attack comes as Democrats and liberal media outlets criticize or downplay the GOP’s effort at showcasing diversity at their convention in Tampa.
Love, a Utah city mayor and congressional candidate who is black, delivered a brief but rousing address Tuesday night at the Republican National Convention. The daughter of Haitian immigrants told her family story, throwing in some jabs at President Obama’s “divided” America for good measure.
Bloggers were quick to spot some inflammatory changes to her Wikipedia page that night. Though the changes have since been removed, screen grabs posted to various websites show one section called her a “dirty, worthless whore” who sold out to big business. Another section again called her a “sell-out” to the “right wing hate machine,” before accusing her of being exploited “like the House N-—— she truly is.”
Good evening, GRRRR. I love Colorado!
Portman put me to sleep.

Yea but we got a few conservatives that dont want to vote for him either??? Im not sure if this is working, we’ll see.
the schedule says condoleeza rice at 10, then susanna martinez, then paul ryan. my guess would be after 9:30.
