Bringing the Country Together
The 2012 Republican Convention has masterfully highlighted the inclusiveness of the Grand Old Party, giving voters a look at what it will be like when we replace Obama’s dirge of divisiveness with Romney’s vision of unity. Every speaker seems to have reminded us that all Americans have more in common than they have differences and that everyone…Republican, Democrat and Independent…is simply seeking a leader who can turn the stagnant economy around. The addresses by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and our next First Lady Ann Romney were electrifying, to be sure, and they certainly had the desired effect of rallying the troops to take our country back. But there have been some other folks at the podium, perhaps less well known and newer to the scene, but who nonetheless have dazzled the crowds with a combination of charm and substance and messages of hope that have resonated throughout the country.
We Love Mia Love
Mia Love, the attractive, intelligent and articulate Mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah brought the delegates to their feet with her rousing speech and inspiring story. She is a classic example of the increasing number of African Americans who are breaking away from the Democrat Party and finding that Republican Party values and principles are much more in tune with their own. Love is running for congress in Utah’s 4th congressional district and we look forward to seeing more of her in the House of Representatives. And what about Sher Valenzuela! The candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Delaware along with her husband Eli built a small business in spite of the government, making her the perfect foil for Obama and his ‘you didn’t build that’ mantra. These and other speakers at the convention have successfully challenged the oppressive negativity of the current administration and have made Obama and other lefties, with their claims that Republicans are racist and anti-women, look pretty silly. I for one am betting on the Republican Party to bring America back together.
