(Newser) – Sarah Palin will not have a turn at the mic at this month's Republican National Convention in Florida, Reuters reports. Word comes from Palin herself, who added in a statement: "This year is a good opportunity for other voices to speak at the convention and I'm excited to hear them." Palin noted that all of the concerns she expressed about Barack Obama when she was the vice presidential nominee at the last convention "still stand," and that she intends to focus on grassroots efforts to get Romney and new runningmate Paul Ryan into the White House. She didn't mention if she plans to attend the convention.

Because conservatism can never fail, it can only be failed all of the conservatives previous politicians - all of them who enacted conservative policies the conservatives supported - must therefore be expunged from the party. http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yezhov_9576.png This is exactly like what Stalin did to people too.

Now if they can just find a way to not allow Romney to speak at the convention things will really be looking up.

I'm going a different direction too.  I decided to stop having sex with all of the Victoria's Secret supermodels. "This year is a good opportunity for other guys to bang them and I'm excited to watch them."  Because you know those girls want more of the Great Spudsy.
