That was sobering. Unbelievable. If that doesn’t get people to change their vote from zero, nothing will.

Eight. Point. Five. Freaking. Billion. Dollars. in Three. Freaking. Days.

Yep, listening now. Got to admit, regardless of their politics, they’re much better at articulating what they want to say than the bozos last night after Ryan’s speech.

I missed it and will have to watch the replay, if I can stay awake, which I doubt.

Ed the crazy uncle is upset about the line about big things being done by Americans. Took that as another below the belt birther comment. The Dems sure are testy about that.

Didn’t take long, but MSNBC’S Schultz and Madcow are claiming the speech was racist, birther, code-speak.

Do you believe how good that was? Never thought he would do that. I mean, “exceptional ism”? “Constitution?” telling Putin to pound sand? Just wow.

Mitt Romney is a successful businessman who happens to be heterosexual, well educated, a non-drinker, a non-smoker, Caucasian man married to the same Caucasian woman for over 30 years. It's been said that Mitt Romney worships in his Church every week. He wears appropriate business clothes when necessary and he wears more casual clothes when the occasion calls for it. He speaks as an educated man and he shows dignity and grace.

Yet in the past thirty years our culture has changed greatly, perhaps more so than in previous generations. American culture also has been impacted by what used to be considered cultural negatives, into what some now view as acceptable "differences."

Television, radio, popular music, the internet, and the very language some people now use as common everyday speech have all changed and in my opinion have had a negative impact on our culture, including the perceptions of some when defining who is sincere and who is phoney, who and what is "gross and fake" and who and what is not "gross and fake."

Personally I see nothing phoney nor "gross and fake" in Mitt Romney, just a refreshing, sincere, honest, optimistic and positive good man who will fix our country. I pray that you will someday see the same, too.

Not liking Ryan’s wife’s dress. Not for this occasion.

And that's so, so, so important. Janna Ryan's dress. At this epochal moment in history, you're concerned about someone's choice of dress?
