He did do a great job. I found something interesting today and wonder what that is about.

Last night my husband and I were listening to Fred's speech. When he talked about McCain's stint in Vietnam he said that his bones may have been broken but his honor was not.

I turned to my husband and said, "He should have said "spirit".

NOW, today I am listening to his speech again on this link:

http://www.dingonation.com/politics/...peech-on-video

And he uses the word "spirit" here and not "honor". I wonder what that was about? How weird.

I also found it very interesting that ABC News covered every detail of each speech of the DNC, but only was highlighting portions last night.

Re: The Republican Convention

That's why I've been watching it on C-Span. You can see it all without commentary.

Re: The Republican Convention

Partisanship is an incredibly powerful thing. How can the "baby killer" Lieberman be roundly praised about anything. Shouldn't being a baby killer trump anything said like it apparently does at Democratic gathering? I pretty much expected in advance the general reaction on this forum to be that the DNC was entirely weak and uninspired and the RNC was 100% powerful. It is just so predictable to me and comes across as disengenuous to the casual observer.

He supports McCain's protection of our country. That is why he was there, being a Jew, it is important to him.

PO, I've seen so many people who also said good things be dismissed, attacked, and discounted as "baby killers". If someone is a baby killer, they should be castigated, and it should happen to every baby killer no matter which convention they happen to speak at.

Stew,
I think some do not consider an embryo a baby formed and they don't view themselves as baby killers.

McCain says it's a human life at conception. Obama had a totally lame comment for his answer, dancing around science, etc.

I have to vote for the party that "best" represents my views knowing that I am never going to be 100% pleased with everything.

There are some things I don't like about my pastor, but God tells me to love this man and see it through.

I feel that way about a lot of things, including staying married for 21 years.

You have to take the good with the bad. If my husband beat me, he'd be gone or dead depending on my mood and how close to any dangerous device I would be if he attacked me. lol

This is how I view everything in life.

PO, but that is the thinking that has us where we are 35 years later. It is accepting millions of murders as if we are powerless to actually do anything about it. It is the moral majority not acting like we are in a Democracy. If we had not been pacified by rhetoric, there was a time when abortion was not institutionalized and the religious right could have actually used it's muscle and made sure that politicians at every level of government were going to move to stop the murders...or never be elected again.
An "Abortion is Murder" placard means very little to me otherwise and does nothing to fix anything. Sadly, we are nearing a point where I fear it may actually be irreversible, and to have some of the same people that took advantage of the situation or allowed it to get to this point come with the same rhetoric is nowhere near enough...and borderline offensive.

Reality doesn't mean anything to this crowd and the crowd last night. Joe Lieberman believes and votes completely opposite of the Repugnats except on the war. They just used him like a pervert uses his innocent prey.


As I listened to Fred Thompson last night I was reminded of my world history class in high school. The subject of a test was, "show where someone uses fear to gain control of a country".

Here is a quote from the past. Who said it????



Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country. quote verified at snopes.com

Hermann Goering

Wake up America we have the same thing happening now just as it did in Nazi Germany.

The theme last night was IF YOU ARE NOT FOR THE WAR YOU ARE NOT PATROTIC.
