She’s nothing. Maybe she’s afraid to show her face?

[napscoordinator]

Crap. Romney gets the nomination. What a disaster. No celebration in the building. 30 seconds and normally nominees get 2 minutes or more per Fox News.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Limbaugh is pissing me off with all his negativity lately.

Well say, you have a knob or button to change the station, don't ya?

[onyx]

I think I’ll take shower! LOL.

[napscoordinator]

Um... no. New Jersey just put him over the top in the delegate count, so unless you plan to abduct him in the dead of night he’s the nominee.

Disgusting. Oh well. Another loser nominated by the GOPe. Hardly any celebration in the room...30 seconds when they normally have a much longer eruption. Tells a lot.

[hummingbird]

"Sorry next time I’ll wear a longer shirt."

HA, HA, svcw.....do you repair refrigerators, too?

[bgill]

Everyone here said the same thing. No one at the convention seems that excited. Well, guess we’re stuck with the RINO used car salesman.

[stephenjohnbanker]

” Boehner has to go!

He’s a major reason we need a TEA Party sweep in November!”

Yes!

[Chgogal]

Well when we are dumb enough to run SIX conservative candidates what the heck do you expect? We are the stupid part of the stupid party. We should some how chose the conservative candidate to run against the GOP-e. If we cannot figure out a way to do that, well expect this to happen again. And do not talk about a 3rd party. If you think that is the solution then the Obama Party will win for quite some time.

[napscoordinator]

Onyx,
I have not seen you in a long time. I hope all is well. Miss you a lot. So glad to see you as you lifted my day after seeing this disastrous day where they nominated the worst candidate ever by the GOPe. I can't believe that Romney is our nominee. Very depressing.

[humblegunner]

Oh, my.. you certainly make a lot of stew from a small oyster:

Drop to your knees for your Master, if you must

Yeah, whatever there, Spunky. How often do you fantasize about "masters" and such?

So educate me, boo:

How does this stuff you post help to get Obama gone?

Does it even make a dent?

Or are you really trying to keep Obama in office?

It's OK either way; I'll loathe you just the same either way.

Go ahead, spill it: You like Obama, don't you?

You want him to rule, right? Be your master? Spank your bee-hind for you?

thanks Kansas Girl :)

I hope Rove, GOP-E and even Fox News are happy.

They've all but shut out and smacked down us TEA Party patriots!

[napscoordinator]

A very sad day for the United States of America. Most likely one of the top 10 worst days for the United States. It could even be the top 5.

[penelopesire]

Lol...I missed that funny in my fury and tirade over the rule changes.

Good one!!

[onyx]

Hey good buddy!

So GOOD to see you!

Hope you’re well, doing great and very happy!

TEA Party sweep in November!

[FroggyTheGremlim]

Who's that young lady with the light hair and the black suit who announces the tally for each state?

She's lovely!

[penelopesire]

I am hoping beyond hope that somehow Texas stops the whole travesty and walks out of the convention....lol

It’s a nice fantasy anyway. It will be interesting to watch them cast their votes in a minute.

[onyx]

Dearest naps!

As it happened, I just cut and pasted your great post and replied to you!

TEA Party sweep in November.

This is no time to get demoralized.

We have a Republic to save and somehow, some way, our good Lord is going to help us!

God bless and keep you and everyone you love.
