Official Republican National Convention 2012 Discussion Thread

[Lieutenant Governor Clinton1996]

Santorum's talking about his grandpa's hands again.

His thick large hands. I lol'd so hard at that.

Rick Santorum 2012=Pat Buchanan 1992?

[Senator North Carolina Yankee]

More Hands!

[Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Rick Santorum 2012=Pat Buchanan 1992?

No, he stopped short of that when talking about the family by mentioning and honoring the hard work of single mothers. I think this is a great speech. I think that if he kept focused on these themes and not gotten lost in the weeds on contraception and other controversial issues, he might be VP or even the nominee himself.

[Supersonic]

There should be a drinking game for the amount of times Rick says 'HANDS'.

[Senator Snowstalker]

And now he's talking about Bella's hands.

Rick Santorum 2012=Pat Buchanan 1992?

Do not insult my man Pat in such a way

[retromike22]

Lol at the end it was like "by the way vote for Mitt Romney"

[後援会]

Ah yes. Santorum must have gripped many "hands". Many many thick and strong "hands". When you've seen as many hands as I have...

Though in all seriousness, this might have been the best speech I've heard all day.

[Keystone Phil]

Seemed good to me.

[Senator Snowstalker]

Conveniently Ted doesn't mention the astroturf movements in Colorado, Nevada, or Delaware.

[Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Minus all the hands, it was a great speech in my opinion.


As my mom said, "Where was that Rick Santorum in the primary?"

[Supersonic]

Fantastic speech by Rick Santorum.

Some of the Governors speeches earlier today have been dire, Mary Fallin's in particular was so wooden and emotionless.

[State Comptroller Atkins]

Well this is strange.

[Lieutenant Governor Clinton1996]

Apart from all the gay hands references, excellent speech on the part of Rick. This Santorum, the one that gave that speech the night of the Iowa Caucus, the one that gave the speech tonight, would've won Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois. If he'd have skipped all the social issues, this would've been his nominating convention.

It definitly was, but that's not saying much when every other speech was mediocre at best. Good for him, I guess.

[Senator Snowstalker]

The Revolution was in 59 and he left in 57?

[Keystone Phil]

I thought it was good but I'm pleasantly surprised at how the rest of you seem to think it was fantastic.

[Lieutenant Governor Clinton1996]

He and Christie (might consider voting for him in 2016) only set the bar higher for Mitt on Thursday.

[Lief]

Guys, come on, Santorum wouldn't have won the nomination, even if he had talked about how much he loved hands instead of how much he hated JFK/condoms.

I wholeheartedly agree.

[Comrade Funk]

Restore the American love story. Vote Romney and Ryan! Awkward...

Artur Dvais...bleh.

[ChairmanSanchez]

Does anyone else think Artur Davis's hair looks like Curtis Wilkins?

[State Comptroller Atkins]

Ah, this loon.

[Is JCL in mushy sappy love]

I may no like you on foreign policy Rick but well done. Sadly it's not enough to convince me to give mitt my vote.
