And I'll tell you something else...anyone who says the GOP is not a big tent diverse party...is lying.

Those people in the audience, they look like my neighbors!

Big Chris Christie up at bat

 

Home run to come !

[clearvision]

Chris Christie has a tough act to follow.

[Pepper]

@clearvision

 

He's a man, he'll do it.

"My mom was the enforcer"

[Pepper]

Gosh, these two strange people (Ann, Chris) talk about weird people pulling themselves up by their boot straps.

 

They didn't do that !!

[pollyannaish]

@clearvision

 

He's a man, he'll do it.

 

[Geee]

I am HER son - ha ha ha!

[clearvision]

OK so far so good. Talks about his mom being blunt and tough as nails.... AND I'M HER SON....

[Valin]

His mother reminds me of my Grand Mother. Did not suffer fools well...or long.

[Pepper]

@pollyannaish

 

Great line,

 

My Mom didn't suffer fools - Chris

 

We should not have to suffer the Obamas - Pepper

@pollyannaish

 

Simon and Simon and Magnum always liked them...they didn't take themselves to seriously. Plus I'm a big fan of Tom Selleck.

 

Me too. Have you seen Jesse Stone? It's fantastic.

 

You Tube. His westerns are GREAT!

I have bailed out of the political crap for awhile.

 

So glad I am hearing this.

[Geee]

OK I'm officially wierd. It's Christie who's going to make ME cry!!

when O was elected I had to bail out of politics for quite a while, but tonight gives me hope

No! It is a relief to have someone tell us the truth. IT MAKES ME CRY. Because I have hope again.

[Pepper]

Regarding choice of respect and love

 

It's not really love, it's a crush that the overhyped yoots had on Obama. A crush fades with the next skirt or pair of pants.

Pass the tissues.

Hard to type while listening to this. So much here.

[Rheo]

Go Chris!

Yes. Jammed packed.

[Geee]

Well there was a GOOD reason that Ann did not have to follow Christie. She usually would have been the last speaker of the night. Maybe it was the condensed schedule.
