And Chris Matthews just said there is nothing more scary then Neo-Cons surrounding a President with no foreign policy experience.

With all the opportunity in 2008 to alleviate liberal guilt in 2008 by voting for BO, Jesus, himself wouldn’t have stood a chance.

Oh, timmy, Mommy and Daddy were part of history voting for the black guy, what’s his name, for president.

All of those statements are true but still I hope that Romney doesn’t take too much foreign policy advice from McCain

Vice versa - McCain could be a good spokesperson if he was agreeable to what really needs to be done

I’m having an awful flashback to 2008. After Palin’s electrifying speech of Wednesday night, up came McCain to throw a bucket of cold water the following night.

I have the sound turned down. This convention is an absolute RINOfest. The Bushes, Condi and now McCain. It's sickening. I'm still voting Romney & Ryan though because there are some positive things to be found and to continue under The Won is unthinkable.

Did you see the thread that had Sarah Palin's Facebook post? Here's her quote:

"I’m sorry Fox cancelled all my scheduled interviews tonight because I sure wanted to take the opportunity on the air to highlight Senator John McCain’s positive contributions to America, to honor him, and to reflect on what a biased media unfairly put him through four years ago tonight.

Granted, our honored and esteemed war hero has gone through much more than the liberal media can ever do to him in their efforts to harm this patriot. I look forward to hearing his words to his fellow Americans tonight more than any of the other convention speeches. God bless John McCain. Thank you for everything. And happy birthday, my friend."

Source is FR Thread: Sarah Palin: Fox has cancelled all my interviews for tonight. I can't verify it because I don't do Facebook.

Seriously? Matthews said that? How MUCH lower can he GO? That was a decent speech- but frightening? Really? Sounded like an average Republican speech. I guess even the most moderate GOP people frighten Matthews.

It seems like they have a variety of music. Maybe they’ll have some country or western.

I guess its so they can change the props for the next scene.

McQueeg is great at the convention.He says all the right stuff. Great on tv/mtp the rest, acts real conservative. Than he gets back in congress and he’s a RINO!!!He’s top of the list after we take out the commies.

I bet Mathews and MSLSD won’t even show the black musician on stage.

Wow. I just scrolled up after posting and believe I may have made a mistake in turning down the sound on my television. It was a good speech by McCain, really?

Naahhhh...of course not. ANYONE on the right who’s black is an “Uncle Tom” (which they always misunderstand too) or a whore. Any hispanic person on the right is ignorant.

God it’s simple- why do we fail to see it through the prism of their superior intellects?
