The President's hardworking National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice spoke about and took questions on the Global War on Terror's war of ideas, addressing the efforts the Bush Administration has taken to lead the world toward values and understanding that will bring a just and lasting peace, at the United States Institute of Peace in Washington D.C. today. Dr. Rice counseled Americans to be 'less critical of every twist and turn' in Iraq.
Retiring Senator Zell Miller, D-GA, will deliver the keynote address at the GOP Convention.
Dr. Condoleeza Rice talks with Sean Hannity (radio link) on military transformation.
The First Lady had a significant interview with Bill Sammon of The Washington Times, stating she believes life begins at conception and that she supports her husband's view on abortion. Asked if she was pro-life, she answered yes and stated abortion should be rare. "Mrs. Bush laughed incredulously when asked whether the press was fair and impartial in its coverage of a conservative such as President Bush. Her press secretary, Gordon Johndroe, laughed even more heartily." The twins will not be speaking at the GOP convention, she said. The short interview is worth the read. She described her husband as "very loving and compassionate and really sweet."
The interview excerpted further: "The first lady was asked whether she would be devastated if her husband lost. 'Yes, of course,' she said. 'Would we still have a life? Sure. Would we have a good life? Sure.' [Sammon asks:] Would Americans survive a Kerry presidency? 'They'll do a lot better,' she said, smiling ruefully, 'with a Bush re-election.'"
President Bush will be vacationing for a week at his ranch so we're not likely to be seeing a lot of the usual photos.
Enjoy your daily Dose of Team W @ Sanity Island!
You have mail!
I'm under the #25 wire! Congrats to your daughter....will want to see that pic!
THere's a 25 wire?
Scroll past this picture from Maine:
Maine Supports President Bush (And It Shows!)
Our campaign's volunteers continue to show their support in ways that amaze. Richard, Teresa, and Mimi Canty of Presque Isle, Maine sent us this photo. Richard cut this eye-catching BUSH sign into a field, 300 feet tall, and 700 feet wide.
Richard tells us that his sign has been spotted by airline pilots flying 30,000 feet above -- and that the locals are getting quite a kick out of it!
I see Condi's speech is scheduled to be on C-span at 7:09 PM and again later.
Hello
My own goal. LOL
Wow, that's a neat picture!
I don't know how my neighbors would appreciate me doing that to my yard...hmmm...
Love that yard sign!
Long time no see, snugs!
I don't mean to mess up an always enjoyable thread, but I'm really ticked at something, and this seems a good palce to vent..Every notioce that every time Kerry comes down the stair from his ariplane, he has veterans waiting for him?..That's OK..those poor misguided souls, but in the last week they've started to salute him as he comes down the steps, and he's RETURNING the salute,....he's pretending, or practicing, to be commander in chief...truly disgusting..
Maybe they're actors...he's got all kinds of friends in hollywood (see: michael moore). I'm sure he could swing it!
Oh man, I'm going to be nauseous.
NO..they're local memembers of VFW posts...fine if they wanna be there to greet him, but not to salute him...
That is something.
I can't understand that, but to each their own I guess.
I noticed it several times this week..They can be misguided, but he has no business, nor right, taking the salute..
Wonderful news. Zell Miller is a true patriot!
Here are the video clips...they take a bit to load. The ovation was awesome and lasted forever. The clip is very short in comparison. The first one shows him exiting the bus and walking the ramp.
