I'm liking Thad's speech. It's not only good, it's soothing.

 

[bunklocoempire]

Don't look at me. I'm not thanking her for empty promises--she's the one who helped pass the PATRIOT Act after all--and I don't want no crazy bitch.

Lol! Got it...

Very surreal reading the coverage on the RPF's!

Paul's speech.

Right now I'm living on borrowed internet (just moved into new apartment) that just barely stays connected, and often randomly disconnects. I should be getting my internet service any minute now, but man this is torture...

 

[eduardo89]

Tube of ron's speech. Hope it hasn't been posted already, I'm using my phone so I can't keep up with the 5 pages per minute on this thread!

People have been waiting in line at Michele Bachmann tent for over 45 minutes to get their "BEEF SUNDAE"

Lines are very long...

Good practice for the soup/"shower" lines -should they vote for her

Is the beef sundae deep fried?

SailingAway has a real name?

 

[Jackie Treehorn]

For liberty! *rings imaginary bell*

 

[wgadget]

The spin on Twitter is that RON PAUL IS AN ACCOMPLICE TO THE MURDER OF A NEWBORN. EEEEsh.

I don't know. I was referring to a Lauren Bacall movie line.

Just a little irrational exuberance. I smell victory.

The spin on Twitter is that RON PAUL IS AN ACCOMPLICE TO THE MURDER OF A NEWBORN.

Yeah, they think he should have sacrificed becoming an OB/GYN and delivering 4000 babies for getting thrown out of a hospital and into jail as a young student. Which is one opinion, I guess...
