When I last caught one of the speeches live, (last night?) I prayed for the safety, health and strength of the entire R&R team, from the security around them, to them and their families. There are deranged Moonbats out there, and it only takes one of them to act in an evil manner. The Romney-Ryan people need us to pray for protection from evil.
Please everyone, say a prayer of protection around these men, and their families. Let’s cover them in prayer that the Lord will shield them from the wiles of the devil and his demons on earth.
“Lord, surround these good men and all around them with your shield of armor. Thank you for the security detail that guards them like a shepherd guards his flock.
Have mercy on our sinful nation, and bless us with these men as leaders that we might go forward as a righteous nation deserving of Your blessings, and that we might glorify Your Holy name by restoring our positive national influence on the world again and our government will again join us in supporting Israel. Bless us with righteous leaders so we may serve You better. Amen.”
I first noticed it in one of the debates. I was working, and so I was listening, but not watching. At one point I honestly thought I was listening to Reagan, only to suddenly realize that it was actually Romney. Four years ago I was vehemently anti-Obama, mildly anti-McCain, and enthusiastically pro-Palin. Now, I am very confident in Mitt. Hard to believe, but we actually have a really good presidential candidate, for the first time in 24 years.
How big is the crowd?
Amen. Couldn't agree more. Would like to invite you and everyone else to join us in prayer for this election and for Mitt Romney, his family, and his team at Prayer thread for the last four days of this election
Well, yes, the reason several of us were strongly pro-Romney during the primary season was that we knew he wanted the job, would fight for it, and not roll over for Obama or the MSM. Mitt also had assembled the national finance organization necessary to go the distance.
Defeating ANY incumbent president is serious, difficult, and expensive business, let alone a president worshipped by the MSM.
In the last 100+ years, we’ve only rejected 5 presidents seeking a second term: Taft; Hoover; Ford (who was never elected); Carter; and Bush 41.
Good catch, and very true. A poignant reminder of the difference between these two men and those surrounding them.
“I can’t believe I am saying this, because I was a proud member of the anyone-but-Romney camp, but ... he has more than a little Reagan in him.”
Me too. I supported Perry in the primaries. I thought I was the only one noticing this about Romney but I’ve read a lot of other comments like yours - he IS surprisingly Reagan-like.
Romney is polished and well spoken. The contrast between him and Obama couldn’t be any more defined.
Well just between the two of us, Obama’s plane has been painted with a special IR pigment only visible with IR night vision goggles. With those one would be able to read “Air Force None” on the belly of the plane in giant letters.

The amount of logistics devoted to bringing The One to a Democrat lock like Dubuque - which voted for Stephen Douglas in 1860, BTW - is considerable. Good thing for him that he gets a carbon credit pass.
Mr. niteowl77
Joining you in prayer! Amen!
The GOP Primary RomneyBots have come a long way.
You’re all doing a GREAT job!
Obama’s on the run
Amen.
Thanks, I’ll be there!
Your link says page not found ???
I think maybe it was the link to the Live Stream. Rally is over, so the link is nonfunctional. It may be on cspan, but not sure.
Thanks,
Look, I see the Reaganesque elements these days as well.
Two things about that:
It isn’t surprising in this respect...in some respects WE ARE ALL REAGANS NOW. We stand on his shoulders. There is just no doubt about it.
Second, I would bet you that Romney has spent a lot of time studying Reagan’s speeches and debates. And has probably talked to those who were close to Reagan the communicator.
Romney is impressively prepared.
Just got home from this rally...
It was GREAT !
I’m guessing around 1,000 folks in the hangar and outside. .
The hangar was overflowing!
The “KING” - Richard Petty warmed up the crowd !
I was only five rows back from the front of the podium.
It amazing to actually see the sincerity in the faces of both Ann and Mitt as they addressed the crowd.
Mitt and I had a momentary eye-lock .... Whew!
These are Real People trying to help real people.
I was just “Wowed” by their presentation and sincerity for “Everyone” in America !
Someone on the Zogby thread said they saw Rove on FNC and he said he saw some Romney internals and several states are too close to call and they have lawyers ready .
The post was in the Zogby thread, post #60 made by Rusty0604
Im trying to find anyone else who saw this segment on FNC with Rove.
