Hope you had a chance to catch some of the awesome speeches at the GOP convention tonight – positive, inspiring and energizing! Rand Paul, Condoleeza Rice, Tim Pawlenty (“Welcome to Barack Obama’s retirement party!”), Susana Martinez (NM governor) and even Mike Huckabee, were all great. Each in their own way reminded us of our founding principles, what made our country great, and the American dream:

“We’ve never been a nation of grievance and entitlement, where ‘I am doing poorly because you’re doing well…’
…It doesn’t matter where you come from, it matters where you’re going.”
~Condoleeza Rice ~

 
Ryan was a rock star! He comes across as intelligent, impassioned and sincere – the real deal. Not sure Romney can top that tomorrow night.

 
I didn’t watch the convention live yesterday, but one of the day’s best speeches – all but ignored by the mainstream media – was delivered by Mia Love, mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah, a Republican congressional candidate, a Mormon and first-generation Haitian-American ~

“Mr. President, I’m here to tell you the American people are awake and we’re not buying what you’re selling in 2012,” Love continued to applause.
 
Love went on to praise the American dream which she called her story and the story of millions of her fellow citizens. “This is the America we know because we built it,” said Love to spontaneous chants of “U.S.A” from the crowd.

 
MSNBC neglected to broadcast Love’s speech because, well… she was the wrong color. Black female conservatives simply don’t exist in the upside-down world Chris Matthews and his friends inhabit. Not that he and his pals are racist or anything…
