I am just interested in why the Rockstars of the GOP have been left out of speaking at the convention in Tampa this year.
You can't keep Clinton away so why is it after a successful 8yr presidency is George Bush or Dick Cheyney not given a chance to speak.
Palin has Obvious sway and really fires up the base.
Gingrich is a helluva speaker and a pretty smart fellow.
Rick Perry has a following
Bachmann has a load of fans..........
Now thats who didnt make the dance...............Lets talk about a few who did.
Nikki Haley, the first woman to serve as South Carolina governor: THis is a joke for the few folks on CD who are from SC, should know that so much dirt has come out on this woman and her administration if she ran for dog catcher "TODAY" she would lose............ Corrupt and inept
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.),: Is this the only military man you can find. A guy that a good percentage of the base abhores. Come on man
Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R): Got his peepee smacked by referendum on his Collective Bargaining laws.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R): Talk about buyers remorse my folks are from Florida and are there to see first-hand conservative horror as they find out about this guys medical fraud scams and fines. Info that was ignored in a Tea Party Fueled election.... Even Conserv's are pissed off with him turning down the building of the trains to Orlando. Should be doing the perp walk instead of a Governor of a fine state like FL.
The Guys I would pick to speak--------------- are succesfull
Scott Walker Wisconsin Gov ----the numbers dont lie he Kicked @$s in his recall Tom Corbett Penn Gov ---- Voter ID laws mission accomplished, School system nearly privatized. Petraeus -------- Need a Military man Virginia Gov Bob McDonnell-------- Virginia is VITAL
Just my thoughts, even though I believe both sides work for the same puppeteers it seems the GOP is doing a good job of not even trying to win this year.
Seems the GOP is trying very hard to distance themselves from the extreme right-wing fringe by not inviting the so-called "rock stars" of that element of the Republican Party. As you pointed out, Not only is Palin being left out but the others as well, such as Cheney, Bush, and Bachmann.

...Which is belied by their vice-presidential nomination of a vapid, socially draconian, hairdo...
I'm really glad to see that the Republican party is trying to distance themselves from the wingnuts and extremists in their party. Clearly not letting Cain, Perry, Palin and Bachmann speak is an indication of that. The country will be better off if we can get back to a civility in politics. Decades ago I could vote for someone to be president, knowing that if my choice didn't win at least the one who did wouldn't take the country into a radical and mean-spirited direction. I want those days again.
Are you on the committee to select speakers? No? Are you even going to watch the thing on TV? Are you a Republican? Why are you asking?
Well, well.
I like being entertained and yes I will watch the republican and democratic convention.................. Dude this was just some honest questions and where i differ in strategy.

.....SNIP
You left out the guy that has met all protocol to be on the ballot for nomination, in Tampa, except being a paying member of the establishment.
Ron Paul.
If he is not going to win, at least let the guy that started the Conservative movement, to speak, if he has met all the rules to be nominated in the first place.
What do they fear if Ron Paul speaks? Romney has it wrapped up, right?
