Agreed. Felt sorry for Clint and embarrassed, like a sad swan song, rambling, and he deserved better material. . I am very grateful he flew across country to appear for our side. But, yes, bless his heart, it was awful. A “WTH” moment on the faces of his audience.

We sure do like him anyway though, don’t we?

Right. I know, but I doubt he did. It would amazing if true but they all have speech writers.
Maybe someone who said that will respond to what they were talking about. I saw posts that said “he wrote it” but never detailed who they meant. Was it Romney?

Or, perhaps, that line is a deliberate description of the Obama regime. Anyone know?

BeBe Winans and his sister, CeCe, have been a fantastic, award-winning brother and sister singing duo for years, mostly in gospel music, from a huge musical family. Their voices blend together angelically, as heard and evidenced in in this tune, Heaven, that I just love.

They also pursue their own separate musical careers as well.

..."But as for BeBe Winans? A registered Democrat, the gospel/R&B star sang at the 2004 Democratic convention and later campaigned for President Obama. But he gladly took the unpaid gig when invited by the RNC to sing on the convention’s closing night.

“I want to remind people that before any association with any party that we’re all Americans,” he told us. “No matter who wins, if we don’t come together and really invest in the country we love, we’re not going to solve the problems.”

Winans said he alerted the RNC that he would likely be singing at the Democratic convention in Charlotte, too, and that they had no problems with that.

Oh, and is he set to sing at the Democratic convention?

“I was, but the invitation was taken back,” Winans said. Oooh. “No hard feelings,” he added. DNC officials did not respond for comment.

Some kind of tolerance those libs have, hmmm ?

One thing I am noticing on mslsd the nbc people Kelly O'Donnel what ever and F chuck are very careful now about dissing Mitt. They know he will be potus and are already watching what they say.

I just now spotted that post of yours.

Very interesting observation by you!

You are completely right.

For many left-wingers, the “fact checkers” and other media define their reality. This fake reality is reinforced within the confines of their echo-chamber. They are going to get an unpleasant surprise when they expect Ryan to show up to the VP debate eating crayons.

It’s no accident that one of the most popular blogs is called “Talking Points Memo.”

Well, hopefully the “support” the DNC and PP will get from the American public will keep on sagging as much as what’s left over from all those burned bras!

“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.”

Indeed..Well said, bd.

FRiend, that day was Feb. 12, 1999, a very dark day indeed.

Clinton was impeached on Dec. 19, 1998.

Trent Lott failed America and history by not doing his constitutional duty.

Now we know perjury and suborning perjury was the least of Clintoon’s crimes. The exchange of military secrets and MIRV technology to the Chinese for campaign cash was covered up with “It’s all about sex”.

Monica Lewinsky would have been Kopechene’ed if Linda Tripp had not advised her to save the blue dress.
