Yes, very refreshing after all the lies! I just felt so positive and calm and happy after listening to his encouraging words. I don't know where the RATS came up with the cr** they did all week, do you? Do you think the rest of the country listened with discerning ears?
To my dismay (but not too much surprise) my MIL told my husb. how she enjoyed listening to Terraaayyyzzzaa and the John's. Tim really gave it to her about their lies and etc. I hope she doesn't bring it up to me! Unfortunately she's one of those people who likes it if it "sounds" good and is all "warm and fuzzy."
A few weeks ago she started criticizing the Pres. about his "negative attack ads". I told her I didn't think they qualified as "negative" or "attack" when they merely presented the truth about a person or people. That shut her up, at least temporarily!
I was thinking about John K's statement to the Pres. about no negative ads, and have come to the conclusion that he's scared to death that the truth about his record in Vietnam, his record in the Senate, his record of flip-flops, etc., is going to come out, so he's pre-empting it by calling the ads "negative" in advance. What do you think?
No, I don't think a lot of the country was really tuned into this. Not as closely as some of us at FR anyway! (Where's my purple heart for sitting through these liberal diatribes?) Your MIL sounds like an individual who won't back down from her notions as errant as they are.......but you will stay the course, and maybe she'll watch you being strong in your convictions and at least agree to disagree.
