I’m with you, Pen.

Rove, and the GOP-E can all GTH. Romney has always been a RINO.

Paul Ryan is the only one who’s giving me HOPE.

THAT was caused by Mitt Romney having his team
attack Gov. Palin on the eve of the Election.

Yes, and that has SO much to do with today's events doesn't it?

I’m at the convention. As a guest from a blue state, I’m in the nose bleed seats.

It was “seat them now” (Maine delegation, who were apparently not seated but replaced by Romney chosen delegates)...

Get rid of Romney NOW!!! Let’s dump his butt. We can vote in Bachmann Santorum or Akin for all I care but get rid of the Twin of Obama.

I haven’t been able to pick my jaw up off the floor yet. The look in Bonehead’s eyes was just evil. I dodn’t think I copuld dislike him any less than I already do, but he just proved me wrong.

I’m almost sick at my stomach.

Herman Cain was asked by Cavuto about the Ron Paul people being unhappy, and said: “They’re never happy.” LOL.

You really should be ashamed of yourself saying something like that. It is a damn lie and if I were running this joint, you would be kicked to the curb right now.

You don’t know what you are talking about. The Texas delegates were booing about the tyrannical rule changes brought to the floor by Romney and the GOPe.
And for the record...we are not Yahoos!!
Get a clue or get out!!

I was jazzed when he picked Ryan for VP.
But I’m not sure how much weight Ryan will have. After what we’ve witnessed today, I’m in full fret-mode.

The polls from here on out should be interesting. I’m sure they’ll blame Akin and Paul for their own disaster because that’s what cowards do.
