In case you missed day one of the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., here’s a humorous 100-second recap from the website Talking Points Memo.
Based on the following video, convention attendees spent most of their day listening to speeches on “big government,” crushing debt, entitlements, Ronald Reagan, and love or, um, respect.
Oh, and for those of you who watched the convention on FOX or MSNBC, this 100-second journey down memory lane might hold a few surprises (i.e. appearances by Tea Party candidate Ted Cruz and Gov. Brian Sandoval [R-Nev.]):

Posted on August 29, 2012 at 6:05pmWhat was the point of that? Folks, this was a dumb idea The Blaze came up with. I‘m sure there are videos of each night of the convention in it’s entirety.

Posted on August 29, 2012 at 5:29pmNext time take more than 100 seconds to try to produce your “light hearted” attempt at whimsical humor or snide misrepresentation or whatever you were attempting there. If the DNC had produced that, the Blaze would have called it a Hit Piece.
