Preident Bush is solid in his speech!

Did anyone notice:

1.) Bush referring to a group of countries known as "The Baltics" (I'm assuming he meant Balkans, not the countries around the Baltic)?

2.) Bush's lop-sided smile, to the point where it was looking like he had a stroke during the time when the protester was dragged off?

3.) C-Span's shots of the speechwriter mouthing Bush's speech seconds before Bush spoke the words?

I wonder why.

Maybe some of us have served or are serving in the military right now. Perhaps we should all use pink backgrounds and get nice flowers for our avatars.

wouldn't a real man be secure about his sexuality with homosexuals around him?

Critical skills? You? This conversation is really getting too funny. You, sir, are quite simply set in your ways, and neither I nor anyone else will ever be able to change you. You just stick to your opinions and I will stick to mine...

You seem to believe that education is not a lifelong process and that as we age and thereby have more experience that we do not become more wise. You seem to think that by being young, you are therefore superior and that your poorly thought out positions are somehow better than the positions of those of us who have had decades to observe the unfolding of history and to have the illusions of our youth shattered.

You might also consider that I possess a native intelligence in the top one percent of the population and that I also possess two academic degrees in fields dealing with human social behavior and a professional license. Have I become more stupid as a result of these factors or perhaps could it be that you have not lived long enough to understand the consequences of your positions?

Am I set in my ways, when my profession demands continuing education and that I take on new challenges in my career to expand my knowledge and experience or could it be that you are just blinded by your youthful arrogance?

I don't care how fast you can run and if you watch your manners in my presence, you won't have to worry about your fleetness of foot, either.

LOL funny. I thought the protesters who got into the place were totally going to throw him off his teleprompted speach and he would lose his place. He was real scared. His voice was weak. He didnt let us down when he spoke of NUKELEAR attacks

The primary thing I take away from the president's speech is that he has a vision for what America is and what it should be. He believes in that vision and will put all his efforts into making it happen. This is in stark contrast to his main opponent who has no vision or if he has one has been utterly incapable of communicating it. He instead has an antivsion or a picture of what we should not be. Such an antivision is incapable of guiding a nation and will only bring chaos and confusion.

I also was excited to listen to the presidents domestic agenda. I cheered at the notion of tort reform, medical malpractice reform, and a TAX SYSTEM OVERHALL. These are issues that are long overdue to be addressed. They are issues that most politician do not want to deal with. I am impressed with the presidents courage in bringing these issues to the forefront of this campaign. President Bush had a good track record of doing what he says he is going to do so I have hope that these issues that are among the 3 worst drags on our economy and competativeness on the world markets will be addressed.

I will go on record saying that GWB has hit a home run with that speech and will get a significant 6-8 point bounce from this convention. This despite the wet blanket that NBC tried to throw on his speech with their bias reporting after the speech. (Thank God Tom Brokencaw is retiring. IMHO his is a news ninny)

Grady is a bitter partisan Bush supporter who, now faced with the facts of a failed administration, holds onto his commitment to Bush out of spite, and hatred for what he calls "liberals."

Telling the truth to the American people is the #1 job of any President.

Promising us a bunch of new programs for the next 4 years, when you were President for 4 years already, is too little, too late.

Going to war with nations because a few Neocons in your administration tell you that you will be a failure if you don't is not being a good President.

With Afghanistan, we were on the right track...but moving our troops to Iraq for no reason, with no threat, and rhetoric about "mushroom clouds" from the President, is not American.

We invaded a country who was not an "imminent" or "gathering threat," and left Osama to run away with plans for future destruction. This President has allowed Israel to craft our foreign policy under the guise of "America's Interests."

And what happens when you question this GO-IT-ALONE policy of "transforming the world?"

You are a terrorist.


Reporter: President Bush...what do you think about all the insurgents who are attacking American troops?

President Bush: "My answer's Bring 'Em On!"

How easy it is to say when you have never seen the battlefield, or shed blood for your country.

Afghanistan = Right
Iraq = Misguided and Wrong

Now, the typical Bushie answer to that is: "If it were up to you, Saddam Hussein would still be in power, instead of in a jail cell."

True, however...we would be 1000 Americans soldiers stronger, $200+ billion richer, 6000+ soldiers WITHOUT injuries, NOT hated by the rest of the world, and in a REAL POSITION TO DEAL WITH IRAN AND N. KOREA.

We have basically trapped ourselves, and made ourselves weak. Iran is getting nukes because they know we are too busy to stop them. N. Korea sees hows busy we are killing in the Middle East, that Jong Il sees an opportunity to crank up his nuclear program, and become an ACTUAL THREAT.

But no, you all will continue to blindy support this President, and his failed administration. Facts won't bother you...America's low standing in the world won't bother you, American's dying for nothing won't bother you.

We didn't even finish the job in Afghanistan properly, and they are facing more attacks day after day. And they expect to have elections next month.

We left a few soldiers there to keep former UNOCAL Rep. Karzai alive, so he can oversee the continued flow of oil through their new UNOCAL pipeline.

Iraq is in shambles, and we replaced Saddam with Saddam-lite (for now, give him time).

But no, the people are "free." (right?)

We cannot do this alone...it will not work. I have been to this part of the world many times. It is a wild, idealogical endeavor.

Pessism? No. Realism? Yes.

Look, Bush may have good intentions, but it is not working out. He had his chance. He offers no apology for misleading us into Iraq, because he has backed himself into a corner.

Our children will be paying the price of this administration long, long after Bush leaves the White House. The worldwide consequences of this man's 4 years as leader of the free world are tremendous.

And while I hope he is defeated this November, I believe the Karl Rove's of the world will not allow it. Legitimately or not, Bush will get his second term.

And when that happens, God help our country and our planet.

God help us.

This not being the Iraq war forum I will not debate the Iraq issue, though I concede it has not been a bed of roses. I would like to point out, however that the world has benefitted from the strong position that the US has taken. The number and area of effects of wars world wide is at its lowest point in decades. A strong stance by a superpower has always been the seedbed of peace. In fact in the absence of such leadership war and anarchy have historically been the result.

Further cstyle226, if Bush is defeated in NOvember he will be beaten by Kerry who has shown through his record that he has few convictions. Of the things he has been consitant on, the most striking one is that he has voted against just about every defense spending program and project ever put before the senate. In this light there is no more liberal senator than Kerry. He will undoubtedly continue in this bent if he becomes president. God help us all then for we live in a far more dangerous world today than we did when the last peacenick, Jimmy Carter took office. It was his bungling that led to the rise of the mullahs in Iran and the formation of the first terrorist nation.

Let me lastly say that to vote against one vision while not replacing it with another is removing your faucet and leaving the hole in the sink. The leak is fixed but the thirst will kill you.

I'm a real man and very comfortable about my sexuality. The fact is that I don't have any interest in what the homosexual community, male or female, has to say about anything. They are not beneficial to a progressive and decent society in the least bit.

Not discriminate. That's wrong. To make righteous choices even if others are against it. And that load you're talking of just came from you from your mouth. Where are you transmitting from? A comedy zone?

Far from over.
