the Ryan speaks tonite?

[Andrei Bulba]

Go Ryan!

[LuvFreeRepublic]

It really makes me sick to see some of the names of the speakers and know that Sarah Palin is not speaking. I don't care if you are a Palin fan or not, IT IS NOT RIGHT. I hate Romney and I will be all over him and the GOP the minute we kick Obama out of office. If Obama wins, I will fight for a third party.

[Signalman]

I don’t want to have false expectations but I think Ryan is going to have a barnburner of a speech tonight. I hope he drops the “Don’t mention Obama” narrative and comes out swinging.

In the jungle, the mighty jungle, Paul Ryan speaks tonight.
In the jungle the quiet jungle, Paul Ryan speaks tonight.

Near the village the peaceful village, Paul Ryan speaks tonight.
Near the village the quiet village, Paul Ryan speaks tonight.

Hush my darling don’t fear my darling, Paul Ryan speaks tonight.
Hush my darling don’t fear my darling, Paul Ryan speaks tonight.

Couldn’t help myself.

[BarnacleCenturion]

Palin was invited and declined. Get over it. There’s plenty of opportunity to listen to her elsewhere.

[LuvFreeRepublic]

I don’t have to get over it and I know all about the ‘invite’. Romney sucks and so does the GOP.

[defconw]

Bob Beckle slamming Mia Love, becuase she’s not black enough. Well that’s the summary.

[KansasGirl]

He did.

[Biggirl]

Maybe a video sent instead.

[KansasGirl]

I don’t know that he will. It seems they have made a strategic decision (much to my disappointment) not to attack Obama.

[KansasGirl]

I like your song. ;-)

[KansasGirl]

Mia Love is on Mark Levin Tonight at 8:30pm EST.

[MestaMachine]

The baby likes the Dog and Hippo version. LOL

[defconw]

TY, will listen.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

LOL—so I’m not the only one who was thinking of that song.

[newzjunkey]

Sarah Palin posted Fox News has cancelled all her interview appearances tonight.
