NCTexan Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 My choice for the reader "Comment of the Day" regarding "Who is the mystery speaker tonight?" RNC mystery speaker will be the Kenyan doctor who delivered Obama. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
righteousmomma Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 The doctor couldn't come. He has no passport. So everyone from Jon Voight to Rush to Hannity To Cavuto is saying Eastwood. I was hoping Sarah would show up too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be the talking head topic tonite. And the evil Republicans will party on! They're probably happy this is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valin Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 The Stuck Pig Squeals John Hinderaker 8/30/12 You can tell that Paul Ryan really stung the Democrats last night, by what the party’s leaders are telling their faithful. This is from Barney Frank, in an email titled “clever:” John – Paul Ryan is a rigid far-right ideologue and a clever politician. That’s a dangerous combination — especially in an election where ultraconservative billionaires like the Koch Brothers are spending millions to ensure that their extreme right-wing agenda becomes a reality. The Democrats can’t get through an email without mentioning the Koch brothers. Can these ritual references possibly have any effect? You wouldn’t think so.

Valin Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Romney’s Speech John Hinderaker 8/30/12 These are the extensive excerpts from the speech that Mitt Romney will deliver tonight that have been distributed to the media. It looks like a relatively soft-focus, conciliatory speech: (Snip) Well We'll see if this is real or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clearvision Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Well let's hope the new upgrade helps tonite. I've got to go to a "mandatory" swim parents meeting later at the HS, probably to get the booster pitch for money and time. Hopefully be back for Romney. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clearvision Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 I hope they fact check Obama and the dems as much as they are every R speech. Today is filled with articles "fact checking" Ryan's speech. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollyannaish Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I was just struck with this thought: Mitt needs our prayers tonight. As you said @clearvision, everything is against this man. There is, and will be much on his shoulders. No human alone could possibly face this onslaught without God lifting him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draggingtree Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 2012 Conventions, Politics, Ratings RNC Ratings Night Two: Networks Lose 17 Million Viewers Compared To Night Two Of 2008 RNC By Alex Weprin on August 30, 2012 2:22 PM On night two of the Republican National Convention, Fox News Channel was once again the network more people went to to get their political fix.
