we all want to change this current mess so badly we get very upset and emotional at times... I know I sure have!ha.
Hi dear Onyx. Really liking Huckabee!
Perhaps it is a subliminal message....”the GOP makes me PUKE!” ;-)
Yeah but hes having his moments.
I think they are just excited.
I think we have adults in the room. The American people are not in a partying mood.
I’m hoping it’s because she is the mystery speaker tomorrow but I think it’s going to be Clint Eastwood.
Huckabee - We can do better than obama....and with Romney/Ryan we WILL do better.
Brings up the evangelical question (since Mitt is a Mormon) Huckabee says the only “evangelical” on the presidential ticket is barack obama. and yet he wants to change the def. of marriage, abortion issue, and wants to tell pepole of faith to bow the god of government with the healthcare law and violate their conscience.
an attack on my Catholic brothers and sisters is an attack on me.
doesn’t care where a president takes his family to church, cares where he takes this country.
Huckabee did a very good job with this issue,IMO.
Huckabee is not doing half-bad.
At least he’s calling out Barack Obama-more than the others did.
Huck can be very humorous and he “ON” tonight.
He’s smacking the snot out of the democrats and both the marxist and Biden!
Are you not surprised how unenthusiastic this is? Barry Goldwater would talk like these Milquetoast metrosexuals aka GOPe.
LOL!
Lol! I do NOT like Huckabee, but this is a pretty darn good speech! I am more than a little surprised, lol!!!
Thank you Lord, for blessings from unexpected places ; )
Tatt
Rice up next ???
I will give you one point....If we ever want the youth vote...this ain’t the way to get it! I have a Rush baby..he is solid...no worries....but I can guarantee you he isn’t watching this snooze fest. Not trying to be mean...just realistic.
yeah, he’s good and very straight forward and direct...that was refreshing..Pawlenty was good too.
I have to ask:
Those of you who are bitching about he convention, what are you looking for?
If the party platform is too extreme, in either directions, we lose. That’s a fact.
What would make you happy?
Huck was good.
What was that montage of idiots on O’Reilly tonight...the girls who when asked about the job situation offered the advice of making it easier to get jobs by lowering standards. Yikes!
I try to like Huckster and applaud him for the Chic Fil stuff....but..
But... he’ll never even be Palin’s limo driver and he’s still a rino...
