Romney has the trait of all successful leaders. Build a good team around you. The better Ryan does the better he looks.

Which state was who from? The pinko freak? I have no idea.
I cant see Paul Ryan going along with any kind of Big Government plans by Romney, I just dont see it. It was such a great speech. Susana Martinez’s speech was wonderful too, I wish we had someone like her as Governor of CA she would make such a huge difference

But wouldn’t that mean that Obama hates black people?

LOL. Good! Glad you like it! You used the perfect words for me!

RedMDer made that graphic for me to use on our FReepathons.

“I doubt it. Romney has the trait of all successful leaders. Build a good team around you.”

My former boss didn’t want to hire anyone below him who made him look less than. Worse.boss.ever.

Maybe that explains Obama’s pick of Biden...

From a twitter follow: Tomorrow, Mitt should step up to the podium, point at Ryan, and say, “What he said.”

Just saw the funniest tweet.

This week #RNC talks economy and jobs. Next week #DNC talks the vagina monologues. #GOP2012

When all is said and done all Obama will have is the media and the far left. He has to hold rallies and trash Republicans to even keep his looney base supporting him. Those idiotic “jokes” that he makes, thats only to appease his looney supporters to even show up at the polls to vote for him, THAT is how bad it is for Obama, he can’t even get his whackos to show up and support him. This is our best chance at taking this country back from the Commie, Romney can hit a home run tomorrow if he really wants to. I never liked Romney, but I will vote for Ryan, just like in 2008, voted for the VP as well, will do the same again

If all college kids watched Ryan’s speech, many of the brain dead libs would become enlightened. He looks like he just walked off his college campus.

Hi Nana Yes indeed Paul Ryan was great, perhaps bring the younger age group along.
Condi also was wonderful.
I’m thinking we will sleep well tonight;)

I very much liked the Greek Orthodox prayer.

I attended a relative's wedding over the weekend. The groom's family is Greek Orthodox and the ceremony and prayers were quite beautiful.

just watched the msnbc goon squad try to rip Scott Walker apart. Why they go on those interviews is beyond me, but Scott stood his ground over the blowhards.

Racist, sexist propagandist pigs.
