I passionately want to defeat the Marxist Obama..oust the czars..fire the administration..

Anne Romney would make such a great First Lady..She definitely helped. I was proud of our Texas Republican Senate candidate, Cruz..Nikki Haley, Kasich, Santorum, Mia Love..( hope she wins..great presence..could go far),
Cristie..good start
I am catching up on some of the speeches.
A pox on the lyin’ Paulite delegates.
Time for R and R
DEFEAT OBAMA

You must not have watched Megyn and Bret Baier on Election Night 2010. I thought they were both terrific and quick on their feet—not an easy thing to do on live TV. Bret Baier amazes me—he rarely misspeaks and is on top of the issues, always ready with a relevant follow-up question and even corrects his colleagues’ mistakes.

C’mon, you knows who...

What’s up with that moving blue backdrop? It’s making me seasick.

Late, or early, post, but I too was feeling seasick watching it. Must be a mind control prop. I used to get the same feeling try to read or scan on a microfiche! (Dating self)

[Miss Didi]

Apologies for my remarks about Condi’s scowl...she was just on with the Friends and said she was tearing up a lot especially thinking about her mom who also had breast cancer.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

She is into herself, utterly, (posing cleavage up)

And, the problem with that is....? ;)

[Miss Didi]

The Friends mentioned something about Juan still getting tons of protest emails.

[rodguy911]

I think Juan is much milder privately on a personal basis and well liked, but is highly paid to deliver liberal spew. His son is Republican unless he likely switched for Obama in’08. I sympathize with the role he elects to play in order to draw a paycheck, which he sorely needed after liberal NPR roughed him up. That didn’t happen because he was too liberal, though I’ve forgotten the reason and details.

Maybe, but you can't rule out stupid....

[rodguy911]

Yeah FR has had its problems no doubt.

For me however I owe this site a lot.

It has given me as much as I could hopefully get form an advanced education in politics,civics and other.

I know how to research,duel politically, get points across and owe much of it due to FR,infighting aside.

[defconw]

Well I have been watching FNC for two hours now, they are positive on the speeches. I think they are better then some of us thought last night.

Will there be a thread today? Schedule?
