Clever astronaut Eileen Collins just skipped over the Trump endorsement she was supposed to make in her RNC speech.

So what we need is bigger government?

Yup, its not up to the government to decide what is and isn't good land use.

If the feds had their way my entire state would be evacuated for wetlands protection.

Sounds like it will be about 30 minutes based on lineup schedule with main speakers being given 15 minutes, minor speakers 5 minutes.

John Dickerson ‏@jdickerson  8h8 hours ago

One GOP voice: "Pence says he is a conservative but not angry about it which balances a nominee who is angry & not a conservative about it."

That's a serious quote??  Seriously???  :shrug:
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

After the way I beat Gov. Scott Walker (and Jeb, Rand, Marco and all others) in the Presidential Primaries, no way he would ever endorse me!

I value your opinion, but disagree.

Sure, at some more limbic level of my brain, I'd love to see Cruz come out all claws and teeth and shred that pompous SOB who slandered his way to the nomination.

BUT> For starters, the bots out there would howl that he was whining, a sore loser, couldn't take the heat, poor teddy bare, and a host of other feces thrown at the wall.

The greatest thing Cruz can do to deprive them and Trump of that whole line of argument is to be better than they are.

Move on, to focus on the future and not the past, on the Constitution, on OUR country, and what we need to do to return the Republic to good health, militarily, economically, and socially, and leave Trump out of it. No endorsement, no attack either. Focus on solving problems and by doing so give the new nominee a mark to be gauged by. I think that will be far more impressive and effective in the long run, and deprive the usual suspects of material to rant about.

If they disagree, they expose themselves for what they are, and that places them in a position of either showing their true colors or having to give at least tacit approval to the message, if not Cruz himself.

Oh, Walker just went, "If you don't vote for Trump, you are supporting Clinton."

Seriously.

Gimme a break.
How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

If you want to watch the convention, put it on PBS.  CNN doesn't talk as much as Fox.  AT&T UVerse has a dedicated convention channel -- 1212 in Texas.

When people find out how bad a job Scott Walker has done in WI, they won’t be voting for him. Massive deficit, bad jobs forecast, a mess.

I am in my computer room..I can hear the tv..but you are right...I have not heard any buildup.

Went in to mix an after dinner drink and heard o-rielly O'pining that this election was whites vrs.. minorities. So I switched to C-Span. Afraid I had missed the only speech I am interested in...although I give Rudy two thumbs up.

Thank you again..and Rat... for letting me know I am just in time.  :beer:
