RNC Opening Night: One Hand Clapping for Lame Speeches

Ron Paul video
Ron Paul can't be bought, and neither can his supporters. A four minute tribute video after a year of dirty dealing does not win votes.

@michaelberrysho Great tribute video, but what a mockery! "Ron Paul is honest, intelligent, and consistent. We must not let him speak! -RNC"
Ron Paul tribute video was nice, but made it seem like he was dead.

Inspiring immigration story from Thune. Does this mean he supports letting more migrants in so others can enjoy what his grandparents got?

John Thune just said he benefited from the sacrifice of those who came before. But he's unwilling to sacrifice some $$ for the next gen.

One word Huckabee hasn't said in talking about Romney's faith: "Mormon".

Huckabee just said Obama thinks "human life is disposable even outside the womb." This is a new low even for the GOP.

Huckabee just said Mitt has been loyal to his sons. As opposed to cheating with other sons.
