I agree with your assessment!
My only concern relative to the Republican Convention is the MSM! I just know they paln to give the demonstrators 90% of their attention and the Republicans (President Bush) 10% -- THINK CHICAGO 1968!!!!
Oh yes, I agree about the MSM and the demonstrators, however maybe I am being overly optimistic. I really think that Americans are tired of that crap, for lack of a better term, and I think it will open some of their eyes to the anti-Americanism out there. And that is what many of these protesters are-- anti-American!
