Official GOP Convention thread

[GAVol]

He just needs to cut the pauses a bit.

Same thing as Comdi Rice. You can tell they'd rather be speaking off the cuff than reading.

 

[PKT_VOL]

wait until Sandra Fluke tells the world about her need for contraception

Sadly, she connects with more American women than Ann Romney or Condi could ever hope to connect to.

 

[GAVol]

who just got led out?

Not sure what that was all about. Looked like they had a banner of some sort.

 

[Gramps]

Protesters, I think.

 

[PKT_VOL]

The Dems getting Rush to introduce her?

That would be epic.

with single women - polls indicate otherwise with married women and with mothers to some extent.

 

[volinbham]

are you listening geezer voters in Florida?

 

[GAVol]

The Dems getting Rush to introduce her?

Speech will be sponsored by Cialis and Virginia Slims.

Code pink

Ryan is not bringing the enthusiasm Palin did in 2008.

we all saw how that fizzled.

I did think he'd position himself more as a potential successor but given Romney isn't on the verge of death it probably isn't a factor.

 

[volinbham]

good line

 

[GAVol]

Nice high spot.

I agree.
I think Ryan is ready to step in as POTUS .
I prefer him over Romney, Obama or Biden .

Looks like they pulled the reins on Chris Christie so that Paul Ryan could be the hatchet man.

 

[VolsNSkinsFan]

Ryan has swagger

It's personal payback - Obama said I will not attack good faith efforts to solve our problems; Ryan put one together; Obama personally invited him to sit up front in a talk where he completely trashed and demonized it.

Paybacks are hell.

 

[volinbham]

I think Ryan is ready to step in as POTUS .

Yep - it is a complete non-issue. In contrast I bet even Dems are praying Biden doesn't get called to duty.

 

[volinbham]

Jack Kemp shout out - an under rated politician

 

[PKT_VOL]

I dunno that I would have said that. Very ambitious. 12 million jobs within four years?

If they win, he might be eating those words in four years.

 

[vols4sure]

"After four years of government trying to divide up the wealth, we will get America creating wealth again"

Great line.

 

[SDV]

I like what Ryan has to say

Do you remember the Obama speech? Oceans will recede, climate will heal, blah, blah blah.

I agree with the sentiment but it's still politics - over promise and under deliver.

 

[volinbham]

odd twist on personal responsibility

 

[Gramps]

I like what Ryan has to say

Same here. He is not an exciting speaker but he is delivering substance.
