The RNC 2012 Non Prime Time Speakers

Tampa - Today at the Republican National Convention there were more speeches, aka, remarks than normally expected.  The cause was the folding of Monday's events in to Tuesday events as a consequence of the cancellation of Monday's session due to Tropical Storm Issac which eventually skipped Tampa and then gained in force and slamming into Louisianan today.

With so many speeches, it would be both difficult and borish to share all of them individually.  So I have separated a large portion of today's speeches / remarks, into a summary of RNC 2012 Non Prime Time Speakers.  Below are names of individuals, yes a few might even be omitted, with attributed comments that I found interesting.  If no comments are listed, it is not that they didn't speak, or their comments weren't good,  but their comments were in summary:  This is who I am; Obama & Democrats are bad (we already know that) and we or Mitt Romney are going to fix this  (which a majority of readers may already agree). This aforementioned comment is not meant to be snarky but to reduce my typing and boring you with needess speech summaries.  The Prime Time Speakers' speeches will be published.

Non Prime Time Speakers: 
Alex Schriver, Chairman, College Republican National Committee: "As the elected leader of 250,000 College Republicans on more than 1,800 campuses, I've got one of the best jobs in the country. . . . Half of my generation didn't get up and go to a job this morning. Many of them, in fact 3 out of 10, graduated this year and moved back in with their parents."
John Archer, Congressional Candidate, 2d District of Iowa . . .
Republican National Committee Co-Chair Sharon Day . . .
Deb Fischer,  Candidate for U.S. Senate from Nebraska . . .
Rae Lynne Chornenky, President, National Federation of Republican Women:  "Recently, our National Federation conducted a survey of more than 8,500 Republican women and asked them what they want from their government. Number 1: They want less interference and fewer regulations. Number 2: They want the kind of strong, fiscal conservative leadership ..."
Lisa Stickan, Chairman, Young Republicans . . .
Barbara Comstock, Member, Virginia House of Delegates and Deputy Permanent Co-chair of the Convention. . .
Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett "Janna Ryan . . . wife of the next Vice President  is from Oklahoma, and Paul and Janna were married in Oklahoma City." :)
Montana Congressional Candidate Steve Daines "My great-great grandmother left Norway and came to Montana in search of a better future. . . . On her tombstone are three simple words: "Saved by Grace." The words "Saved by Government" would never have crossed her mind."
Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell . . . [He didn't say, VA sued over Obamacare, so I will :) Thank you governor.] As Chairman, Committee on Resolutions "[On the platform] We have outlined a conservative vision of governance, a document that is many things-an indictment, a blueprint and a declaration of values. It is an invitation and a pledge. . . ."
Andy Barr, Candidate for Congress, Kentucky 6th District "... Kentuckians built a coal industry that powers America. . . . Coal provides Kentuckians with some of the lowest electricity costs in America - enabling companies like Toyota to create 7,000 jobs in Georgetown, Kentucky. . . . This year alone, 2,000 Kentucky miners lost their jobs because of Obama's "War on Coal."  For every mining job lost, three additional jobs are threatened, including those at Toyota.  But President Obama doesn't care."
David Rouzer, Candidate for Congress, North Carolina 7th District . . .
Hon. Dan Benishek, U.S. Representative, Michigan 1st District . . .
Keith Rothfus, Candidate for Congress, Pennsylvania 12th District "As a cancer survivor, no issue is more personal to me than health care and the strength of our
doctor-patient relationships.  Having developed and survived a very rare form of cancer that kills 75 percent of its victims within five years, I know all too well the importance of a health care system that empowers the doctor-patient relationship and respects the decisions of the family. There is no greater threat to the health care of our nation and the health care of our seniors than Obamacare."
Hon. Tim Griffin, U.S Representative, Arkansas 2nd District "In Little Rock, we have a company with over 500 miles of pipe ready for the Keystone pipeline - but that pipe is sitting in a stack, because President Obama says "you can't build that."
Hon. Francisco Canseco, U.S. Representative, Texas 23rd District . . .
Mark Meadows, Candidate for Congress, North Carolina 11th District . . .
Bill Harris, Chief Executive Officer, 2012 Republican National Convention  "Right now, our men and women in uniform around the world stand in defense of our freedoms. Our right to select a leader of our choosing is one of the most important freedoms they work to uphold.  This convention is a critical step in that selection process."
Ricky Gill, Candidate for Congress, California 9th District "My parents immigrated . . . from India and Africa with only their love for each other, a strong work ethic, and the enduring desire to pursue their American Dream."
Richard Hudson, Candidate for Congress, North Carolina 8th District . . .
Hon. Jason Chaffetz, U.S. Representative - Utah's 3rd District "America is in trouble. If you spent $1 million every day, it would take you almost 3,000 years to get to $1 trillion. We are now nearly $16 trillion in debt. Each day we pay more than $600 million in interest onthat debt - and we deficit spend $3 billion a day."
Hon. Pete Sessions, Chairman, National Republican Congressional Committee and U.S. Representative - Texas' 32nd District "The Republican message that won us the majority in 2010 - implementing free enterprise policies that create jobs, cutting spending and repealing Obamacare - will continue to allow us to grow our House Majority, to take back the Senate and make Mitt Romney the next President of the United States."
Chris Fussner, Global Chairman, Republicans Abroad . . .
Hon. Sean Duffy, Wisconsin Congressman . . .

Jackie Walorski, Candidate for Congress, Indiana 2nd District . . .
Hon. Rick Berg, U.S. Representative, North Dakota . . .
Hon. John Hoeven, U.S. Senator - North Dakota ". . . the Keystone XL pipeline is a good example. This $7 billion, high-tech project would not only reduce our dependence on Middle Eastern oil, but also help hold down the cost of fuel at the pump and create thousands of American jobs. After four years of environmental review, however, the administration just says no - no to jobs, no to economic growth, no to lower fuel prices for consumers."
Hon. Marsha Blackburn, U.S. Representative - Tennessee 7th District and Co-Chair, Committee on Resolutions "If you want to know how Republicans - Republicans like Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan - are going to get America back on track, and back into the black, go online and read [The Republican] platform. And you will find that where we stand is right with you, with every American who wants a better future for their children, a more secure future for the elderly and a renewed promise of the American dream."
Hon. John Sununu, Former Governor of New Hampshire . . .
Ron Kaufman, Advisor, Romney Ryan Campaign "If ever there was a time that Americans need to be inspired to be better today than yesterday, that time is now.  If ever there was a time that we needed someone to inspire us to do great things, that time is now!"
Reince Priebus, Chairman, Republican National Committee . . .
Mia Love, Mayor of Saratoga Springs, UT, Candidate for Congress, Utah's 4th District . . .
Janine Turner, Actress & Radio Personality . . .
Sher Valenzuela, Candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Delaware "A Gallup report recently said nearly 50% of small businesses owners aren't hiring because of what they call 'regulatory uncertainty.' Can you blame them? This Administration has imposed 106 new major regulations. They are on track to create 109 million new paperwork burden hours. And by year's end, $110 billion dollars' worth of new regulatory costs will be laid on the backs of business owners and taxpayers. You might call that 'regulatory uncertainty.'  I call it an all-out assault on free enterprise."
Hon. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, U.S. Representative , Washington 5th District . . .
Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin "He [President Obama} says his plans are working, but look at the results:
•42 straight months of unemployment over 8%
•23 Million Americans out of work, underemployed, or no longer even looking for work
• A nation threatened by nearly $16 trillion dollars of debt
• Families feeling pinched, not just by a bad economy, but by a President who promised
hope and change, and left many Americans with no hope and just change in their pockets."
Jack Gilchrist, President of Gilchrist Metal Fabricating Co., Inc., Hudson, N.H. . . .
Bev Gray, Smal Business Owner . . .
Governor Scott Walker . . .
Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval. . .
Hon. John Boehner, Speaker of the U.S. House and Permanent Chairman . . .
Hon. Rick Santorum, Former U.S. Senator - Pennsylvania "In 1923 there were no government benefits for immigrants except one: Freedom! Under President Obama, the dream of freedom and opportunity has become a nightmare of dependency with almost half of America receiving some government benefit."  "America take heed, when a president can simply give a speech or write a memo and change the law to do what the law says he can't, we weaken our republic."  "I thank God that America still has one party that reaches out their hands in love to lift up all of God's children - born and unborn - and says that each of us has dignity and all of us have the right to live the American Dream."
Ted Cruz, Texas Candidate for U.S. Senate "What is happening all across America is a Great Awakening. A response to career politicians in both parties who've gotten us into this mess.  This national movement is fueled by what unites us: a love of liberty, a belief in the unlimited potential of free men and women." "Government is not the answer. You are not doing anyone a favor by creating dependency, destroying individual responsibility."  "Jobs don't come from government; they come from entrepreneurs and small businesses. Two thirds of all new jobs come from small business, and 2.3 million Hispanics own small businesses and yet this Administration has imposed higher taxes and crushing regulations on small businesses across our nation."  "To restore America, to get Americans back to work, we must rein in the leviathan. We must stop spending money we don't have and turn around our crushing debt."
Lucé Fortuño, First Lady of Puerto Rico . . .
