i am proud of my governor... go ahnuld
a snippet from a killer speech delivered tonight at the RNC. can't wait to get home to see this on the toob. radio is cool, but doesn't carry the visual impact of a good orator.
and i quote:
and i quote:
If you believe that government should be accountable to the people, not the people to the government.. then you are a Republican! If you believe a person should be treated as an individual, not as a member of an interest group.. then you are a Republican! If you believe your family knows how to spend your money better than the government does.. then you are a Republican! If you believe our educational system should be held accountable for the progress of our children.. then you are a Republican! If you believe this country, not the United Nations, is the best hope of democracy in the world.. then you are a Republican! And, ladies and gentlemen if you believe we must be fierce and relentless and terminate terrorism.. then you are a Republican!
There is another way you can tell you're a Republican. You have faith in free enterprise, faith in the resourcefulness of the American people, and faith in the U.S. economy. To those critics who are so pessimistic about our economy, I say: Don't be economic girlie men!

perhaps. but as a card carrying veteran, and a student of ancient and modern military history, given the choice between kerry and bush, there is simply no choice. i have not even a scintilla of confidence in kerry's ability to prosecute the war on terrorism. as i've always said, it's better to fight in your enemy's back yard, not your own. with kerry, it wouldn't be too big a stretch to believe i'll be carrying my firearms with me at all times, except they (the dems) would be doing everything in their power to take them away when i'd really need them. bush has been steadfast and unwaivering in his taking the war to them rather than waiting for it to erupt here. hey, they dropped the hammer on us once, well actually 4 times, on 9/11, after having tried it earlier with a carbomb under the WTC several years earlier. i do not want to see it happen again on our soil. make it hurt enough, and those governments that support this type of behavior have second thoughts. pointing fingers and saying "bad boy, don't do it again" works not at all compared to pointing the entire military might of the us at them, and saying bad boy, we won't let you do this again, because we are taking you out.
social stuff, yeah it's important. but maintaining the ability to worry about social stuff, that takes hard people making hard decisions. i simply do not see kerry as being capable of those decisions. i've looked at his track record in the senate, and there is no one less a champion of the us military than john kerry. and edwards? you want that guy in the white house if kerry drops dead? what the hell is he going to do? sue the bad guys? sorry ed. wrong argument with the wrong person. save it for your friends that have lived a nice safe life because there were kids out there willing to put it on the line so it could stay safe. the first ones to sound the bullshit alarm are the kids at the pointy end of the stick. they vote with their feet. and the military has had unprecedented numbers of reenlistments. that tells me more than anything i see on the news or read on the net.
wow. i just read Zell Miller's transcript from tonight's speach. (missed it, but i'll have to make a point to watch it tonight when i get home). this dude says what i posted earlier tonight, only he's a lot more eloquent.
