This would have been interesting. Per this article, former President Gerald Ford was going to run as Vice President with then Gov Ronald Reagan on top of the ticket.
The stage for the Republican National Convention is pretty cool looking, but I wonder if it’s too busy or distracting, but I guess it just depends on how it’s gonna be used.
Republicans have also adopted the theme “We Built This” as a jab at one of President Obama’s speeches they took out of context (FactCheck.org, Politifact) , but the funny thing is, the arena they are holding the convention in was built with 62% government funds.
It’s August and we still live in Texas, right? While watching the Rangers game the temperature was 72 degree.
Top-earning towns – Two Texas towns make the list, The Woodlands near Houston and Flower Mound which is in my neck of the woods. Flower Mound is the current residence of Blair form “The Facts of Life” and current “Survivor” contestant.
I always thought it was strange for a town or city to have a name beginning with “The”, such as The Woodlands and The Colony. It just seems a little unstable.
I’ve been having trouble with GMail lately on my Chrome browser. In order to view my email, I actually have to maximize my screen.
I got into an email exchange with a good friend about a prayer to commitment sermon he recently heard. I guess he’s what some folks would refer to as a “new Christian” and he had some questions about it, and it reminded me of my Baptist days and the sinner’s prayer. You know that prayer is coming anytime you hear “with every head bowed and every eye closed . . .” Anywho, I decided to research the topic since my views on the prayer have changed as I’ve embraced a mainline denomination, and found that there’s some debate about the prayer among Southern Baptists at their last convention.
It was really amazing how much money Obama was able to raise last election, but that’s nothing compared to what Romney is doing. But I think Obama was able to do it with smaller donations and more people.
I bet we hear the word “hate” thrown around quite often from speakers at the Republican National Convention., Romeny and Ryan have relied on that word quite often as of late when describing their opponent’s campaign.
