You go!
Take it to them lady!
Have mercy!
That's one speech I won't be listening to. We can all hear it now, how wonderful George Bush, Dick Cheney and Karl Rove are. She will paint a picture of how well we are all doing under her and Bush, and if anyone can stretch the truth Thelma can. One thing for sure, she won't be giving a victory speech come Nov. 4.
Congrats Thelma - represent Tidewater well.
This is good news for our neck of the woods. We can use some national visability. Thelma, let me know if you need help with your speech ... I'll donate my time to help if you wish.
oh a revelation!
*GASP* A republican that sides with a republican president 95% of the time! Who'd a thunk it? (I'll take your word for the percentage.)
I'm so shocked. I'll democrats hardly ever follow their party line.
Bad republican. Bad, bad, bad.
congrats
I don't like her politics and I didn't vote for her but I wish her well.
Given her performace at the debate v. Kellam
her speech should be a snoozefest filled with typical one-liners. Noun verb 9/11. Noun verb Drilling. Noun verb Iraq, etc. (For the record, do not take that criticism as Kellam defeating her in the debate, his performance was equally dreadful -- it doesn't say much for Kellam either, I was surprised with his lack of talent.)
Hey cigin94543...
...you got a mouse in your pocket ...or what???? No self respecting Ocean Viewite could be so proud of G. Bush's puppetgal!!!...so...what's with this "WE" stuff? "WE" could watch Drake's lips move and
watch Bush's hand move in sync...but I'm praying for a good Gilligan's Island rerun that night!!!
Puppet at the Podium
Will she be bringing Karl (Rove) with her???
thelma & louise
So what, who cares? It will be like watching grass grow.
I wonder who will be on the
I wonder who will be on the other end, pulling her strings. No mind of her own that we have seen yet.
Virginia in the spotlight
Good for her. I hope she speaks about energy policy.
I too blame her for carrying too much water for the President but, she'll make a nice buffer against whichever liberal wins the election. (Obama or McCain) Both liberal, both suspect on energy policy, and neither lead me to believe the border will be more secure.
RNC running out of options
She's such a maverick isnt she? Why not just put a rubberstamp on the podium instead. I am also a libertarian.
OH PLEASE
95 percent voting with Bush, I would rather hear the Virginia Beach Mayor
speak
OMG! OMG! Thelma, Congratulations!!
You are National - who would have thought? who? You are deserving, for sure. You do make us proud! everyone on the southside and O.V. too. Good Luck in November!! we don't want to lose you. I'm an independent libertarian that craves and adores smart responsible compassionate representitives of the people. Thelma Drake! Congratulations!
