RNC 2012 Speakers Announced
Submitted by P.Au.L on Mon, 08/06/2012 - 07:41Huffington Post - WASHINGTON — A trio of female firsts and three former GOP presidential contenders are among the first speakers disclosed for August's Republican National Convention.
The GOP convention schedule is packed with high-profile names to fire up divergent wings of the Republican Party, from social conservatives to fiscal hawks. They will speak ahead of Mitt Romney's formal acceptance of his party's presidential nomination.
Convention leaders were not ready to announce the keynote speaker, a prime speaking slot that has the potential to catapult a rising member of the party to national prominence.
The schedule's outlines were first reported by The Tampa Bay Times late Sunday and were confirmed to The Associated Press by Republican officials with direct knowledge of the plan. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because convention officials had not yet announced the schedule.

I never...
...down-vote people for expressing their opinions, even if I disagree with them.
I was born and raised Christian. I even served a mission in a far off land in my 20's. My personal journey has led me to what I am today: atheist.
Your journey and conclusions are different than mine. I can respect that. If Christianity is a positive in your life, by all means.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Some people call it prayer, others meditating.
Just google "The Secret" and watch it on Netflix. Use what they say in that documentary to envision Ron Paul in the White House.
Also, put your mind in a state of absolute elation that you might have when Ron Paul is nominated as the President of the United States. Don't use or say words in your mind or out loud, just use vision and replicate feelings.
The ability of thought/prayer/meditation by using something that everyone has of which is very strong (your mind) can be a powerful tool in obtaining what we want.
Prayer is not obtaining what you want
Prayer is merely a petition. I guess if enough people pray God could work a miracle since that would show that the American people are sincere about their repentance. I would not hold my breath. The American people are some of the most arrogant people to ever live.
You should look at prayer as a humble request not 'getting what you want.' As I said, be careful what you wish for. Good thing our Creator always looks out for the best interest for us.
May the LORD bless you and keep you
May the LORD make His face shed light upon you and be gracious unto you
May the LORD lift up His face unto you and give you peace

It's NOT over!
We know that with God, nothing is impossible.....absolutely nothing!
Many times in the past have the children of God come to their very wits end, and lost but all hope.
That was God's purpose to show their utter helplessness, and their great need for His hand that alone could bring them to peace, safety and deliverence.
May that be so with what is happening to us these days.
Lord God, we pray in Jesus' name, hear our cry.
We have seen first hand the works of the wicked. They have done everything ungodly in this entire election process. That which You hate, they have proudly done and have mocked You and Your commandments.
They say "What can God do to us"? " Who can bring us down"?
Now that we have seen their dark and wicked works, Lord God Almighty, show us Thy works.
We pray, show all the world Thy works of infinite greatness and power.
Let man know that Thou art the One who rules all, both in heaven and earth.
Bring the wicked down to their rightful place, and by Thy hand lift us up and keep us humbled we pray, for all greatness, and glory, and power, and majesty are Thine, and Thine alone.
Gracious and merciful Father, we give Thee thanks for hearing our cry. Amen

Bump
Amen! All things are possible with God. Trust in God and rely not on your own understanding.
You guys do realize that..
This is not even close to the complete list of speakers, right? Lol people like Christie, Rubio, Portman, Pawlenty have yet to be announced. This is just a very small number of finalized speaking roles with many still to be announced.
"Marco Rubio shut out of Republican Convention!!!"
The overreaction here to an article that they apparently didn't read is pretty funny. There are probably at least 15 more speakers that will be announced eventually.
I hope it ends up like the Texas Convention
When any speaker mentioned Mitt they got booed.
Same in Iowa
It was just like that in Iowa too, maybe not booed, but the speakers would get everyone riled up about "following the constitution" and get a roar form the crowd, then they'd mention Mittens and crickets... It caught several of the speakers off guard and they quick made another constitutional reference just to see if the crowd was paying attention. And of course we were, we just weren't behind mittens...

Was hoping for a little stimulation but, no. It's going to be difficult to watch if at all.

Surprise surprise
When the two candidates are paid for by the some corporations, there's no such thing as republican vs democrat. Their best case scenario is to have paid for candidates in both parties so which ever way it goes, they win.
That's why I predict Romney will release his tax returns after he wins the republican nomination, because by that time, its to late and hands the presidency to Obama for another term.
A messenger can be disguised as democrat or republican, black or white, man or woman and even rich or rich. Think about that.
This convention is going to be filled with borders, guns and arrests but still do not encompass the characteristics of a true revolution. Violence, chaos and destruction will occur and your revolution will change the world however this will only occur after you experience the real impact of economic depression continuing as an imperialistic country.
A Failure to Introduce the Next
Oh, yeah, just got my first 2 texts from the RNC to let me know John McCain will be speaking. I guess he'll reveal his super elite election-winning strategy!
Didn't they say Rick Santorum was no good because he lost his state's Senate race recently? I guess that's not a big deal to them anymore...

Yeah right....."we're taking
Yeah right....."we're taking over the party" and "Rand will give us cover at the convention." BTW, I guess that Rand didn't even get a speaking slot!
A neocon lovefest
Did we expect anything different? God help us.
Lovefest or circle-jerk, take your pick

Defies logic

What truly "defies logic" is
What truly "defies logic" is the failure of the campaign or Rand to raise bloody hell about this.
Of course they wouldn't
That would be like letting a fox in the hen house.
