That speech was 100% chutzpah. He pleads for taking the high ground, but takes cheap shots at Enron, Cheney, Bush, and trust.
He steals Cheney's "Help is on the way" mantra from 2000.
He claims to now be a hawk in the war on terror. He'll respond to any attack and get our allies to fight with us (doesn't say how). He'll fight nuclear proliferation (one wonders if he even knows about Bush disarming Libya of WMD's).
He's going to add 40,000 troops to our military, cut our taxes, and pay for nationalized healthcare. He's going to equip our soldiers with the body armor that he voted against. He's going to bring the UN on board, but respond unilaterally to attacks.
Uh huh.
Pure chutzpah. 3 full terms in the Senate and precisely *when* did he ever submit a bill to *increase* troop levels and equipment?!
Weak. He'll be up by less than 9% after the dust settles between this convention and ours next month.
