Very sad that Paul Ryan didn’t replace Joe Biden as Vice President.
Paul Ryan stepped onto the CPAC 2013 stage in this speech (full video).
He is the current House Budget Committee Leader (paraphrase) and Congressman from Wisconsin and the former 2012 Republican Vice Presidential nominee to Mitt Romney that you surely all remember well.
In this speech he speaks about the fiscal issues that America is facing and his plan to reverse our current course (which includes repealing Obamacare).
I love Paul Ryan and look forward to seeing him have a bright future. I hope that he will run again for President some day.
Rick Santorum gave a powerful and touching speech at CPAC 2013. You’ll remember former Senator Rick Santorum from Pennsylvania as one of the 2012 Republican Presidential Nominee’s who faced off fiercely against Mitt Romney and nearly won… earning second place to Mitt’s first (third went to Newt Gingrich) in the right to face-off against President Barack Obama.
During Rick Santorum’s speech he speaks passionately about life and the ideal’s of America, following a close death in the family just the day before his speech that greatly effected him and his loved ones. It’s an incredible speech, watch it!
Rand Paul (Ron Paul’s son) gave an incredible speech at CPAC 2013. He’s been making waves and gaining huge support from Tea Partiers, Independents, Libertarians, Conservatives and a few Democrats following his 13 hour filibuster at the Senate due to Obama’s CIA Director nominee.
If you want to know what Rand Paul is all about, and what his new budget that entirely eliminates the Dept. of Education contains, check out his awesome CPAC 2013 speech.
Colonel Allen West gave an absolutely amazing speech at CPAC 2013. Here is the antithesis of Barack Obama, a strong black Conservative Republican who is a doer, not a talker. Not a speech writer and an academic professor, but a war veteran who talks the talk, but also walks the walk. Let’s hope our next President is more like Lt. Col. Allen West.
President Obama spoke about freedom to the United Nations with a tribute to Chris Stevens.
President Barack Obama’s full UN speech for September 2012 to the United Nations General Assembly is viewable below.
Obama spoke about freedom, and opened his speech with a great tribute to our slain Ambassador Christopher Stevens who was killed recently in a horrible act of terrorism that is still not completely understood.
I thought the speech was great overall, and ends strong, although I think Obama sounds weak, and like he is attempting to convince those who cannot be convinced (as the President’s “Olive Branch” to Iran has proven).
Here are my exact thoughts (not via hindsight) that I posted to my facebook exactly as I was watching the speech.
Comment #1
President Obama in his UN speech, talking about how he defends the rights of Americans to blaspheme his Christian faith, and will always defend that right.
So says the President who tried (unsuccessfully) to ban Fox News from the White House Press Corp. And kept it up for months and months and months, trying to form a narrative that was ultimately rejected. It took CNN, PBS and other news organizations telling the White House to back off before they finally did. As if the White House can pick and choose what defines a “news” organization worthy enough of the privilege to cover them. Read the rest of this entry »
The red line against Iran has been drawn by Israeli Prime Minister at the UN.
Drawing a solid red line against Iran was Israel’s Prime Minister (Basically their President), Benjamin Netanyahu who addressed the United Nations General Assembly. Watch his full speech in this video.
In no uncertain terms, he tells the Iranians how far they can go before Israel WILL stop them and prevent them from acquiring the dreaded nuclear bomb.
He also laid out a clear danger of radicalized Islam and the regime of Iran to the world, raising Bernard Lewis’ comment that mutually assured destruction is not a deterrent for Iran, but an inducement.
Netanyahu asked for a redline before Iran completes Stage 2 of the uranium enrichment process and made the case to the world on a chart with a drawing of a bomb on it that we are all in danger if Iran succeeds.
Hopefully a President Mitt Romney will win the election and fully back Iran and WILL STOP Iran from gaining nuclear weapons. Remember the smiling Nazi Hitler during the Olympics? We cannot underestimate Iran, a country that hangs, flogs and brutalizes those that disagree with their Islamic creed.
Mitt Romney giving his RNC2012 Republican Nominee Acceptance Speech to an epic crowd.
Mitt Romney’s RNC2012 speech (full video below) is the most important speech he has ever given. “President Obama promised to slow the rise of the oceans, I promise to help you and your family.”
As Romney rose up to officially accept the Republican nomination for President in 2012 alongside Paul Ryan as Vice President, he had to deliver a powerful speech that would resonate on multiple levels.
Memorable lines, memorable policy positions, details on issues, sweeping rhetoric and hopeful words for where he will lead the nation if elected to the highest office in the land.
This is the speech that people will remember, as it starts the kickoff of the fall season as each Candidate from both parties head into the final two months of their year/years-long campaign and enter the season of debates… which will be the next measure by which Mitt Romney is judged.
Here are some memorable quotes from his speech, probably the most memorable of which is in the headline!
* “This president can tell us it was someone else’s fault. This president can tell us that the next four years he’ll get it right. But this president cannot tell us that you are better off today than when he took office.”
* “President Obama promised to slow the rise of the oceans and to heal the planet,” Romney said. “My promise is to help you and your family.”
* “Many Americans have given up on this president, but they haven’t ever thought about giving up. Not on themselves, not on each other. And not on America.”
* “Now is the moment when we can stand up and say, ‘I’m an American. I make my destiny. And we deserve better! My children deserve better! My family deserves better! My country deserves better!”
* “Tonight I’d ask a simple question: If you felt that excitement when you voted for Barack Obama, shouldn’t you feel that way now that he’s President Obama?” Romney said. “You know there’s something wrong with the kind of job he’s done as president when the best feeling you had, was the day you voted for him.”
* “I wish President Obama had succeeded because I want America to succeed,” he said. “But his promises gave way to disappointment and division.”
Bob McDonnell is one of the most important pieces of Romney’s election strategy to win Virginia.
All of the other RNC2012 Republican National Convention speeches from the likes of Janine Turner, Bob McDonnell, Kelly Ayotte, Sher Valenzuela, Connie Mack, Mary Fallin, Pam Bondi, Cathy McMorris Rodgers and others will be posted here.
There were many, many, many speakers at the RNC2012, and I didn’t cover all of them in individual articles.
So here are the rest of them, although I still may not cover every single one.
Bob McDonnell – Governor of Virginia
Virginia is one of the most important states that Romney needs to pick up and hold, taking away from Obama’s win of the state last election. Republican Governor Bob McDonnell will go a long way in helping him do just that.
…. Speaker of the House John Boehner (pronounced “Bay-ner”) intends to increase the Republican majority in the House AND Senate in the November 2012 election.
John Boehner’s RNC 2012 Speech (full video below) rallies Conservatives to elect Mitt Romney for President in order for the government to get its business done.
Unlike the Harry Reid Democrat-controlled Senate, the Republican-controlled John Boehner House has continued to work and pass bill after bill, including four budgets (whereas the Senate hasn’t passed a single budget since Obama was elected) and Boehner continues to urge Republicans to work hard to maintain and expand their Republican majority in the House of Representatives this November by continuing to elect strong Conservatives.
Not only that, but the Speaker of the House talks about how Republicans are on offense this year and looking forward to winning more State Seats and a Republican majority in the Senate to replace Harry Reid and, along with a Republican President in Mitt Romney, start the work of returning the United States back to fiscal responsibility that was lost under the Bush and Obama Administrations.
John Kasich is another strong reform-minded Republican Governor, this time of Ohio.
John Kasich’s RNC2012 speech (full video below) comes from another reform-minded governor who is much like Scott Walker in how he is challenging the powers that be in the great state of Ohio.
Kasich is well known as a guest-host who used to fill in for Bill O’Reilly’s “The O’Reilly Factor”, where he’d serve as host when Bill was off.
Now he is a very important part of the Republicans repertoire and their plan of winning states like Ohio and Wisconsin which are crucial for Mitt Romney’s Presidential victory in November.
