I don’t think that has anything to do with my post.
It may not have been done by a conservative but just becasue Mia Love is a black Republican doesn’t mean Republicans like/want her.

O NO
Not the wikipedia page. O NO.
If someone defiles the holy wikipedia then that man must be charged with the most offensive of all crimes and punished with death.

I think Christie was trying to sell the republican party and republican solutions to the independents and moderates
Ann Romney’s speech was incredible. She has liveability

Back to your post, the Huffington post is assuming that person is a republican. Nobody knows if that was not a pawn that was placed. Any person can buy a ticket for the RNC. It could of been a republican or it could of been somebody with another political affiliation. Suspect some independents attend RNC. Racism is disgusting

Note the words “allegedly”, “an attendee” and, of course, “Huffington Post”.
Of course there are racist in the Republican party, as there is in the Democratic Party. It is hard to get any group so large without some racist showing up.

Have you seen the Ohio story. They wanted to extend early voting hours for Republican Counties, but closing early voting hours in more Liberal Counties

Yeah.,
A lot of Democrats don’t know that there is racists in their party. But I feel that there it is more heavy on the Conservative side.

MSNBC Omits All Coverage From Minority Speakers at ‘Racist’ RNC Convention
When popular Tea Party candidate Ted Cruz, the GOP nominee for Senate, took the stage, MSNBC cut away from the Republican National Convention and the Hispanic Republican from Texas’ speech.
MSNBC stayed on commercial through former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis’ speech, as well. Davis, who recently became a Republican, is black. Then, when Puerto Rican Governor Luis Fortuno’s wife Luce’ Vela Fortuño took the stage minutes later, MSNBC hosts Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews opted to talk over the First Lady’s speech. And Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval? Noticeably missing from MSNBC, too. Mia Love, a black candidate for Congress in Utah, was also ignored by MSNBC.
Why is MSNBC trying to exclude conservative Republicans of color in their coverage? Could it be that they are aghast that they’re not on the side of the infallible Barack Obama? Could it be because it cuts against their persistent whine that the GOP is the party of “dog whistle” politics aimed at working-class white voters?
It’s irnoic since Daily Beast contributor Michael Tomasky friviously labeled this year’s RNC convention as racist.
Shall we take bets on when Condi Rice’s speech is interrupted by a Michelin tire commercial?
The Democrat-Media Complex is hard at work.

Democrats fear a diverse republican party and minorities knowing the republican party is diverse. MSNBC is terrible. If Fox news had done this their would be media insanity
Wednesday night Governor Luis Fortuño, Condoleezza Rice and Governor Susana Martinez will be some of the speakers. Is MSNBC going to ignore again?

Oh I agree, Christie’s time has not yet arrived. And all jabs aside, I would like to see the man drop a few pounds so his health isn’t in question if he runs for President. But I was sitting there with my mouth open - No wonder people either love him or hate him! Up until last night I had only heard little clips of him and pegged him as a “Goodfella,” a large, outspoken Italian mobster-type. I am rethinking that evaluation now!
Mrs. Romney is indeed a class act. As a Texan, I was looking to Anita Perry to restore dignity to the White House, but that dream did not pan out. Ann Romney is also a lady. Not to disparage Mrs. Obama. I think she is doing the best she can with what she has to deal with, but I do not like the way she has co-opted one of our jets for her own personal use, nor how she takes expensive vacations while so many people are unemployed. The sense of entitlement from President and Mrs. Obama is palpable. It is as though they were crowned King and Queen instead of just temporarily being CEO and wife of CEO.

It is not about competing to see who can bribe minority voters with the most goodies. It is about principles and what this nation has and will become if we continue down the road we’re traveling on. Who cares what color anyone’s skin happens to be? We’re talking about saving this nation from sure financial ruin, and all the pundits can do is play “Where’s Waldo” with minorities.

I don’t Care. Nor does any Democrat I have ever met.
To bring up Democrats were worried about a “diverse” Republican party, and to believe this would be kinda foolish.

MSNBC cuts every speech made by a minority from RNC speech coverage
MSNBC wants you to think the Republican Party hates minorities. So much so that the liberal news network cut minority speeches from it’s convention coverage.
When popular Tea Party candidate Ted Cruz, the GOP nominee for Senate, took the stage, MSNBC cut away from the Republican National Convention and the Hispanic Republican from Texas’ speech.
MSNBC stayed on commercial through former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis’ speech, as well. Davis, who recently became a Republican, is black.
I’m sure it was strictly coincidental.

From the Chicago Sun-Times:
Gay-rights group covers Illinois delegates’ bar tab, criticizes GOP gay-marriage platform
Republicans mostly wanted nothing to do with helping pass a state law legalizing civil unions in 2011. Yet a prominent gay-rights organization in Illinois is footing the drink tab for the state’s GOP delegates Tuesday - and, on Monday, went so far as to criticize Mitt Romney for allowing the “far right” to “hijack” the national party’s platform on the issue of gay marriage.
(snip)
Equality Illinois has agreed to pay “a couple thousand” dollars to cover the bar tab for what is described as a Beachside Cocktail Hour in the Clearwater, Fla., hotel where Illinois delegates are staying for the Republican National Committee, an Equality Illinois spokesman said.
State Treasurer Dan Rutherford, Romney’s Illinois campaign manager and the only Senate Republican to vote for the civil unions law, expressed support for the Equality Illinois’ stance on the gay-marriage constitutional amendment question.
(snip)
Rutherford said he did not know whether Equality Illinois’ sponsorship of a cocktail hour would breed any dissension among more conservative members of the delegation but said if it does they are under no obligation to drink the group’s liquor.
“They can go someplace else and drink,” Rutherford said.
This is emblematic of what is going on at the GOP convention and within the GOP. You have the party apparatchiks who wish to push the party to being Democrat-lite and you have the conservatives. The apparatchicks (a/k/a the GOPe) would love nothing better than for us conservatives to leave the party so they could drag it back to the 1960s. But, in doing so, they lose their power.
I would love nothing better than to give the GOPe what they want…to tell them to take a hike. Sadly, there is a moral imperative to oust the current illicit regime from power, so this is not the cycle in which to do so. Maybe 2016?
The GOPe needs to go the way of the Whigs. Just not yet.

I love Artur Davis’ speech as well. I liked how he spoke to remorseful Democrats and Independents who had voted for Obama and had been baited-and-switched. They were challenged to watch the DNC convention next week and see if that party really represents them and their core beliefs. As a black American, he can say those things, but anyone else daren’t.
Haven’t heard anything about Allen West speaking. Not that the media would cover it if he did - they do everything they can to discredit the man, every chance they get.

That is offensive. 38% of Hispanics voted republican in the 2010 elections, that is not a small number. That number has increased from 29% in 2008 and 30% in 2006
Black vote shifted republican in 2010
How long will democrats perpetuate the myth that the republican party is not diverse?

I like your sig line, but if you put another hyphen in, it will be easier for us to know that it’s not “the good Pope Leo…” which rather startled me. But I had only had a small amount of my morning caffeine.

Top 5 possibilities for the RNC’s mystery speaker
The Wall Street Journal speculated, and The Drudge Report highlighted, that the mysterious speaker could be former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
But that’s almost entirely implausible. Palin is popular with some conservatives, but toxic to the nation at large. There is no way she would be the mystery speaker in a prime time slot. Plus, she is vocally siding against Team Romney on Republican convention rules changes. That’s not something a special mystery speaker for Romney would do.
But since people are speculating who this mystery speaker could be, here are the top 5 possibilities:
1.) Joe Lieberman
A high profile Democrat endorsing Romney on national television would obviously be seen as a boon for the Romney campaign. Yes, Lieberman is officially an “independent Democrat” in the Senate now and, yes, he endorsed Arizona Sen. John McCain’s presidential candidacy at the convention in 2008. But getting Lieberman to speak would still be a pretty big coup for Romney. Lieberman was, after all, a Democratic vice presidential nominee just over a decade ago.
Lieberman has yet to endorse anyone this cycle and said in April that he wasn’t planning on endorsing President Obama or the Republican nominee. But like the speaker he would precede, Marco Rubio, Lieberman has been a critic of President Obama’s foreign policy. He is also seen as a possible cabinet member in a Republican administration, especially since he is leaving the Senate. It seems quite possible that if there is indeed a mystery speaker, it could be Joe.

2.) Colin Powell
Sure, a lot of conservatives aren’t big fans of Colin Powell, but that’s not the point of the convention. Romney excited the base by picking Paul Ryan, now he needs to reach out to the undecided independents who will decide the election. And retired Gen. Powell, who switched party lines to endorse Barack Obama in 2008, remains popular nationally. People see him, fairly or unfairly, as an honest broker. If he were to reverse course and drop his support for Obama and endorse Romney in a prime time mystery convention speech Thursday, that would be a major get for Romney.
3.) Nancy Reagan
Nancy endorsed Romney’s presidential bid at the end of May, but it would be high drama for the 91-year-old widow of the most revered conservative leader of the 20th century to come on stage and give Romney her husband’s imprimatur in a prime time address. Reagan was loved by independents as well, and spinning the narrative that that this election is like that of 1980 when Reagan came to the rescue to save the economy from Jimmy Carter seems like something Team Romney would relish.
4.) Clint Eastwood
The 82-year old actor known for his toughness and grit has already endorsed Romney. While many Hollywood actors are prone to scorn for being out of touch elitists, Eastwood doesn’t carry that image. He isn’t the Hollywood-type most Americans would recoil from for injecting himself into politics. An endorsement from Eastwood, who served as mayor of a California city and who George H.W. Bush reportedly considered for his vice presidential nominee, would seem to fit the bill as someone who would work as a high-profile mystery prime time speaker.
5.) Tim Tebow
Okay, this is by far the least likely of the five. You might call it a Hail Mary. But immediately before the mystery speaker, the convention will feature Olympians lending their support to Romney. What if immediately after, another great athlete with national appeal strode on stage to endorse Romney? Tebow-mania is electric and the son of missionaries would seem to fit in well in the Republican Party. Probably won’t happen, but it is more likely than Sarah Palin being the mystery speaker.
This, of course, is all speculation. Perhaps there won’t even be a big-name mystery speaker. But if there is as the schedule suggests their might be, these are five names that immediately come to mind as making sense for what Romney is trying to accomplish with the convention.

has a mystery hole just before Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Mitt Romney’s speeches. The space is scheduled for “remarks” but simply lists “To be Announced” where the name of the speaker should be.
