Just watched her with Shannon Breame. Good interview and she took questions from viewers. A real class act and she took it to the “lame stream media”. Asked us to pray for Romney and Ryan families because of the crap headed their way...as she well knows.
She is aces.

“...and they had better give her a good spot at the convention..”

I believe and I may be wrong, she had not been invited as of last week.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

That’s OK - she can sit on my lap. I think that’s a very good spot for her.

(Sorry God, and sorry, Todd, I apologize for that right there...)

I agree. Some columnist at the Wall Street Journal said the same thing...something like "The unsinkable Mitt Romney" was the article or something like that...it apparently was that conservatives in Congress and the grass roots have to push Mitt to the right...not that Mitt was a full fledged leftist, but more of a wandering centrist...and that the legislature is going to have to be a bit more hard core with the President of their own party.

I don't have a problem with that.

My biggest objection is with those who equate Obamugabe with Mitt. That is absurd.

“.and that Romney needs to reach out to the independents.”

Larry Sabato on Fox indicated that the independents won’t make a difference, with less than 5% undecided.

Despite all the caterwauling we see on Free Republic about Mitt Romney not being a perfect conservative....

And, were we non-Romneyans going to vote for some one else or not at all?? Both are votes for a continuance of the Communist* regime.

As I heard once in the South (and applied here to Mitt): "He might not be much but he's our'n"

So let's cut the whining all and go kick some Commie butt out of office.

Sarah will get her spot at the convention, maybe even making the nominating speech for Ryan.

Here is her words about the Rommey - Ryan ticket. Complete statement at the link.

"...there is only a fraction of us that will either vote third party or not vote at all."

If there is ANYONE on this forum who chooses to vote independent or choose not to vote come November because of Romney they are as big a disgrace to our country as that idiot in the White House.

Congratulations to Mitt Romney on his choice of Congressman Paul Ryan as his running mate. President Obama has declared that this election is about “two fundamentally different visions” for America. Goodness, he’s got that right. Our country cannot afford four more years of Barack Obama’s fundamentally flawed vision. We must now look to this new team, the Romney/Ryan ticket, to provide an alternate vision of an America that is fiscally responsible, strong, and prosperous – an America that understands and is proud of her exceptional place in the world and will respect those who fight to secure that exceptionalism, which includes keeping our promises to our veterans.

When I think about the direction our country is rapidly drifting in, I can’t help but look at California as a cautionary tale. The Golden State once boasted the entrepreneurial innovation of Silicon Valley, the American creative engine of the arts, economically powerful and beautiful cities from San Francisco to San Diego, and fertile farmlands that helped feed the nation. Now it is descending into financial ruin accompanied by an exodus of middle class Californians leaving for other states. As one writer put it, California’s “fastest-growing entity is government and its biggest product is red tape.”

Obama’s vision for America will make the rest of the country look like California, minus the beautiful scenery and warm weather.

Obama’s America is today’s California – complete with $100 billion taxpayer funded bullet trains to nowhere; out of control environmental extremists who have destroyed family farms and left some of the most fertile farm land in America fallow in order to protect a three inch fish; permanent high unemployment; government policies hostile to small business job creators; crippling high taxes; an abysmal real estate market; bloated government that wastes taxpayer money; endless budget shortfalls due to massive unfunded liabilities; city after city declaring bankruptcy; and a state government run by, in the words of one Wall Street Journal writer, “a brothel of environmentalists, lawyers, public-sector unions and legislative bums.”

We can’t afford Obama’s vision. Our children can’t afford it. Today we are over $15 trillion in debt and running up trillion dollar budget deficits year after year for as far as the eye can see. And our “leaders” have no plan to stop it! President Obama and this Congress don’t even have the fundamental blueprint—a budget!—to outline where they intend to take us as they merrily roll along with their out of control spending and constant increases of our debt “limit.” Our debt to China alone is more than we can ever hope to pay off in multiple generations. Such debt and dependence on foreign nations weakens us in countless ways. And yet our government keeps on spending despite the risks and despite conscientious, hardworking citizens telling them to just stop it. Our debt is growing by $3 million per minute. This debt, in conjunction with Obama’s massive government over-reaches like Obamacare, has strangled the private sector, which in turn has stifled job growth and slowed all economic growth. The only way to get our country moving again is to get back to basics like normal people do with our home and small business budgets! That means we must live within our means, get government out of the way of our job creators, develop the God-given natural resources we have been blessed with to provide real jobs and real energy security, and stop growing government and wasting taxpayer money on D.C. cronyism and useless stimulus kick-backs for favored donors.

Barack Obama’s record is one of dismal failure, which is why he isn’t talking about it. He would rather spend his time demonizing his opponents. The simple fact remains that Mitt Romney is not responsible for the dire state of our economy or the corruption and incompetence of the current administration.

Over the next 86 days, Barack Obama will try to distract us from his record. Many in the media will roll along with him in this mission. We must not let them continue the deception and distractions, and we must not be afraid to call the President out on his lies. His entire record in office exposes the false promises he made four years ago. So, let’s take a moment to remember what candidate Obama said just four short years ago.

Candidate Obama promised us fiscal prudence. But President Obama’s reckless spending and lack of fiscal leadership has led to the downgrading of our nation’s credit rating for the first time in history.

Candidate Obama decried reckless spending and promised to cut the deficit. But President Obama and those in Congress who control the purse strings and “go along to get along” have tripled it. President Obama’s proposed budget was so absurdly and wildly irresponsible that not one member of Congress, Republican or Democrat, voted in favor of it. And yet the Democrat controlled Senate still refuses to pass a budget itself, and this refusal has been going on for years now. That is irresponsible and, much more, it’s unconstitutional.

Candidate Obama promised us a “smarter government,” but President Obama has created a government that’s not too big to fail, but too big to succeed.

Candidate Obama promised us a plan for American energy independence. But President Obama has forced American taxpayers to subsidize bankrupt green energy companies with ties to his campaign donors. And when it comes to the energy we actually use to fuel our economy, President Obama’s administration blocks drilling and drags its feet on the permitting process. Meanwhile, he supports foreign energy developments, but not American made energy development. His administration opposes everything from drilling in ANWR to building the Keystone Pipeline to coal plants, but he’s all for subsidizing offshore drilling in Brazil and sitting back on his thumb while China moves in to pursue oil deals with Canada because his administration blocked responsible energy infrastructure development.

Candidate Obama promised us “the most transparent administration in history.” But in addition to refusing FOIA-requested documents, President Obama’s administration regularly holds meetings outside the White House and off the official White House visitor list with lobbyists and corporate interests they don’t want us to know about.

Candidate Obama promised to unite all America, but President Obama has cynically divided us again and again in his efforts to win reelection by playing identity politics and class warfare and pitting one group against another.

Candidate Obama promised us a “fundamentally transformed” America, and that is the only promise he’s delivered on. We can see now what his idea of “hope” is. Now we want change. He has failed to lead, so We the People must lead. And our leadership starts at the ballot box on November 6th.

Please continue to focus on the presidential race and on helping Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, but it’s also imperative that we get involved in the nation’s important House and Senate races. These candidates need our help to ensure that our next president has a responsible and ethical Congress that actually gets things done for America. Now on to November!

Despite all the caterwauling we see on Free Republic about Mitt Romney not being a perfect conservative,

Caterwaulling is now used to describe legitimate differences Sam?

I can guarantee you that Sam Adams would not vote for Romney.


"Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual--or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country."

-- Samuel Adams

“Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.”

-- John Quincy Adams

Legitimate differences are fine but a certain few have decided to take their disagreement to a shrill, hysterical level; hence: caterwauling.

You want to come and say that to my face, you coward?

"Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual--or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country."(Notice he places God before Country)

-- Samuel Adams

Sam you are a disgrace to your handle.

The worse the Democrat incumbent is, the farther left the GOPe reaches for a candidate. They have slowly walked us into the Marxist camp. In the end, where I live, my vote won't matter to anyone but God.

I correctly predicted long before anyone on this forum, that ACA would not be overturned, and I also predicted that if Romney wins, it will not go away, it will just be renamed and move forward. Now you can grab on to all the hope and change you want, but Pam Bondi has already announced she would be tapped to advance RomneCare to the States. It is just ObamaCare by another name.

Repeal and Replace.

Well I don't take any of your rants personally. I realize that the ABR folks have had a bad weekend. The selection of Paul Ryan has energized Romney's campaign and now Sarah Palin is on FoxNews telling the country to pray for them and wishing them success.

All of this has got to be a kick in the stomach for the contingent here that have been trying to tell us that we are better off with an Obama second term than to elect Romney.

For the record, I'm not thrilled with Romney either. I wasn't happy with McCain four years ago. In fact, I haven't had my choice for president nominated by my party since 1984, when I was a young man serving in the military. Since that time I've married and raised children to adulthood. That's how long it's been since my choice for president was even nominated at the convention.

I guess I could stamp my feet, vow not to vote and try to bully others to not vote either. But I have always believed in making the best of a not so good situation. In the situation before us, we are far better off electing Romney/Ryan than to allow Obama and his ilk to have a second term in which they no longer have to worry about re-election.

Regarding the Samuel Adams quote, I agree with it wholeheartedly. I believe my vote this November is absolutely essential to help put our country on the right track and by casting my vote, I am fully accountable to God and country. So I am hardly a disgrace to my handle. In fact, if Samuel Adams was alive today, I believe he would vote the same way.

The freepers who are wanting Obama to win

Name one Freeper that wants Obama to win. Then ask Jim Rob to ban them and I will join in the celebration.

There is a vast difference in wanting Obama to lose and wanting Romney to win. I was one of the first to declare that we indeed had under went a

Bloodless Coup d'état in 08. If you can show me any evidence to the contrary, that Obama is not indeed acting any different than Hugo Chavez, I will eat your hat.

My problem is with the GOPe wanting to only slow down the process, in the end, I will have died and most my age will have joined me, under either health care plan, So suck up and get ready to defend the Constitution, or live under the heal of Marxist leaders. It is no longer my battle.

I agree. Romney will get no free ride from me. I'm not going to trash him from now until November because it is more important at this juncture to remove Obama. Once Romney is in, I'll be his biggest critic if he doesn't fly right.

Selecting Paul Ryan is an encouraging sign that Romney might just pleasantly surprise us if elected. People sometimes forget that when he was governor in Massachusetts, he had a legislature that was 85-90% Democrat. Not just Democrat but moonbat Democrat. I wonder how even Ronald Reagan would be able to govern effectively in an environment such as that.
