(Live Convention Thread thru Tues night) Why This Year’s GOP Convention Will Be Historic

[Pepper]

I want Ann to show up with a whip as well as leather.... @Rheo

[pollyannaish]

Me too @Rheo. Santorum says all the right things, in all the right ways. He seems like a terrific guy.

 

But I don't get the same "I'm infinitely secure about myself and capable of managing large budgets" that I get from Mitt. Even here he is making this about social issues...and that just isn't the top of mind issues right now. It shouldn't be ignored or dodged, it just can't be the focus.

 

He may be a good candidate later, but right now I really believe Romney/Ryan are the right people for the job.

[Rheo]

He doesn't slam single mothers, it's the assault on marriage and the family.

 

Oy vey what will Vasserman-Shultz say.

 

Speaking of moms and dads and strong communities, how are Barry Soetero's folks doing?

We will need more info as we are not really clear on what lineage to search.

[Geee]

And what voting block would that be???

[pollyannaish]

Shep Smith stuck his lashes on the screen to give a hypercane update. He has a hard time keeping up with his homespun pronunciation of New Orleans.

 

Once in a while he lapses into plain English, then quickly reverts back to "noo-AW-linz"

 

What an %^$%# hole

 

 

 

 

Remember: New Orleans is usually pronounced by locals as "noo-AW-lyenz", "noo-AW-linz", "noo-OR-linz", or "noo-OR-lyenz".

--Bl**feldt

 

But he has nice hair.

 

He does? I never noticed. I can't seem to get past the eyeliner. Richard Grieco anyone?

I wouldn't know, I change the channel as soon as he shows his face

 

I have a confession to make...I don't know either...I just assumed it is true.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Hands, hands, and more hands!

I'm not sure, but I think that is the "The rent is too damn high" party.

Mia Love is getting kudos on Drudge. " A Star is Born"

 

What is Santorum quoting? Bella? Point?

@Rheo

 

Heck we don't even know what continent to start on.

[clearvision]

Looks like levee problems again in NO area... with a cat 1 hurricane (for a whole 8 hours).

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Santorum did a good job of personalizing the issues here.

Mia Love is going places.

[Rheo]

Yes, and I want my internet cowboy to give a conservative speech while roping cattle.

 

Good luck!

[Pepper]

I think the reason Santorum sounds different is because we have become accustomed to listening to &%^ holes with teleprompters.

[Valin]

I think McDonnell is a good governor. IIRC.

 

Keep the women talking!

 

Can we make exceptions for Walker and Christie?

 

I smell cheddar.

 

I smell envy!

 

OH YEAH!..Well Well Our governor is crazier than your governor...So There.

 

 

The sad thing is Mark was actually the best of the lot...the rest of them make him look sane and reasonable.

[Pepper]

I am ready for the next speaker.

[clearvision]

Ted Cruz brings up the crowd.

[righteousmomma]

God bless us everyone.

Ted does not have teleprompters or notes, podium gone and walking stage. Cool

I'm sure he was not a plant.

[Pepper]

I think it was Michael Moore's father.

[pollyannaish]

@Valin

 

Because it's too important to not know. (*snort*)

 

Shep Smith

 

Richard Greico

 

 

Ok. Back to listening. I'm starting to get a little bored. I would like to move on to Anne and Chris.

 

And I'm glad Ted won.

[Pepper]

He is first speaker to speak slowly enough to bring the crowd along with him. I am sure the acoustics have a lot to do with that.
