The latest wave of speaker announcements for the Republican National Convention in Tampa includes former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

Also on the list announced this morning: former Pennsylvania Sen. and 2012 presidential contestant Rick Santorum, Kentucky Sen. and tea party favorite Rand Paul and Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin.

“Governors Bush and Fallin, and Senators Paul and Santorum are among our party’s most respected leaders, and their participation at the Republican Convention will help generate enthusiasm for Governor Romney’s plans to strengthen our economy,” said convention Chief Executive Officer William Harris in a statement this morning.

The RNC rolled out a list of speakers on Monday that includes Gov. Rick Scott, 2008 presidential nominee John McCain and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

    I wish Jeb was running for President.

  2. Toni Says:

    Very fitting the Republican who initated Florida’s destruction to speak at their convention. He drove Florida’s school system single-handedly into the toilet.

    The man who cut finding to the mentally retarded in order to cut taxes for the rich is a perfect example of Republican values. His wife should also speak – she’s right up Mitt the Mormons alley, she tried to re-enter American after a European trip with goods hidden so she wouldn’t have to pay taxes on them – she’s a tax cheat – just like Mitt.

  7. Jeanne Says:

    Honestly, have NO idea why McCain is speaking, Bush should “take his Place”.. send McCain on a Much needed VaCa to the Bahama’s…just sayin..

    Hey Downtown – that’s what you get when you over fund. Can’t spend what you don’t have. Didn’t Timmy Geitner get convicted of not filing taxes? When is Barak going to release his college transcripts?

  9. TED THE NIMBLE Says:

    Toni – What about the A+ Plan? And outpacing reading levels 2.5 points on a national level? And the scholarships programs he put in place. And as for Downtown…the McKay scholarship program for children with LD? Oh but the real reason you don’t like him…he cut $19 Billion in taxes! Hah~!

    LOL! Welcome to the Republican Circus being held in Tampa. In this ring you have the Floridian group headed by yours truly Jeb Bush. With him is Marco
    Rubio and our disaster Governor Rick the Idiot Scott. In the next circle you have another moran named Rick as in Santorum(he’s the head clown). In the last circle we have all the rest. They don’t necessarily fit into any specific
    group. John McCain-what a laugh. He couldn’t get himslf a job in the WH, Condi Rice-oh pleeze, Rand Paul-where’s dear ole dad?and the others. This farce should give us all a good laugh. Unfortunately, this is the party I’m leaning to vote for. As an Independent-my choices are quite limited. Its anyone but O Bama boy, but I’ll vote for Romney not because I like him-its because I really hate the Messiah.

    Palm Beach County Government is corrupt !!

    Why else does one ceaning company called, STOCKTON MAINTANANCE GROUP have an exclusive contract with Palm Beach County for more than 10 Years.

    Would you like to bid with the county for your cleaning service? You can forget about it !!

    The Inspector General of Palm Beach County Should be Fired !!!
