and death panels, and Romney agenda, rots from head down.

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney has to do two things really well at his convention: Lay out in dramatic terms how bad the Obama economy is and demonstrate that he is the candidate who can fix it.
After Monday’s front-page Washington Post/ABC News poll showing more than 80 percent of Americans now say the economy is poor, and 70 percent who say our country is seriously off-track, Mr. Romney’s convention has to pound that failed economy message into the minds of TV viewers and nail it to the door of President Obama’s Oval Office.
This will be the clarion call coming out of Tampa, Fla., and from podium-pounding Republican Party leaders that will dominate just about every speech, video and interview. Mr. Romney and his vice presidential running mate will make the recession-leaning economy the centerpiece of their addresses that will set and shape the course of the rest of the presidential campaign.
It’s a message that — if it’s delivered strongly and maybe even angrily — will reach a very receptive electorate. The Post/ABC poll found that 72 percent of Americans say Mr. Obama’s handling of the economy will be “a major factor” in their vote. Not Mr. Romney’s tax returns, not abortion, not Bain Capital, not Mediscare ads, but Mr. Obama’s mishandling of the economy.
Not only does Mr. Romney have to lay out how bleak our country’s future is under Mr. Obama’s incompetent economic stewardship, he must persuade undecided swing voters he is uniquely qualified with his lifetime business career in job creation to restore our economy to robust health...

Santorum is speaking now and he is really stirring up the crowd. Of course, I have always been a fan of Rick Santorum.
But will Romney actually attack Obama or will he continue with the “play nice” theme? Always amazes me how RINOs trash conservatives far more easily than they’ll trash Democrats.
Wow, I hope that you are listening to Santorum. This is quite a speech.
Apparently you haven’t been paying attention to anything going on at the Convention.
Try watching it and decide for yourself
Santorum just got a standing O for saying that he thanks God that America still has one party that stands up for ALL children, born or unborn.
Another standing O.
santorum
I like the hands motif
Santorum finished by saying that a vote for Romney and Ryan will be a vote to keep the American dream alive for us and our children. (something like that)
It’s the negativity that causes the most rot.
Rick Santorum just gave the most moving speech that I have heard in years. If he can support Romney and Ryan, so can i.
You are free to support a conservative or a RINO.
YOU, choose the RINO who emulates Obama.
Conservatives WILL NOT vote for Mr. RomneyCARE
and his death panels and endless taxes (”fees”).
BS, it's been sliding for years with these wealthy corrupt insiders in total control. It's all a charade, a choreographed rehearsed skit, a production put on the the well connected, wealthy insiders, as the audience of fools and fans applaud, treating them like celebrities...It's disgusting.
They are out for themselves for more power, and total control. They could care less about tax payers or what benefits America. These government insiders have beaten America to the point where it's barley recognizable.
If ya haven't figured this out by now, ya never will.
My view of government places trust not in one person or one party, but in those values that transcend persons and parties.
