(R)nold was great!

I have been scanning the press stories coming out. I tried to guess what spin they would put on his speech, I couldn't think of anything... Now I see they are going to mention his groping and his difference of social views. One story I read mentioned the stupid Hitler allegation that Davis's hit squad spun up.... ridiculous. No one mentions Austria and socialism - which was his best point I thought...

Do you understand that Julianne Malveaux's last name means 'bad veal'?

You're not a serious FR member paulat, you're more like an insouciant board troll

"I say it is a tribute to us winning the Cold War (maybe even a tribute to Reagan)."

That was how I took it.

After Reagan's passing, there was a lot of talk about the genesis of the "Tear Down This Wall Mr. Gorbachav" historic demand. All the usual bureaucratic State Department appeasers HATED it, the political class and our "STAUNCH" LOL! French and German allies warned against the ramifications ... and the guy who wrote it faced unbelievable hostility and opposition until he got the concept to Ronald Wilson Reagan. RWR looked at it, 18 hours before the moment, and looked at this harried speechwriter with a twinkle in his eyes and said "Very Good"! LOL He actually took out some proposed modifying bullshit in between "The Wall ... and ... Mr. Gorbachev".

In the same way, during the PATCO labor "unrest" Reagan sat silent at a Cabinet meeting with all the usual suspects predicting the gloom and doom related to every concerted action. Reagan said nothing for 25 minutes but read the Deaver summary of positions ... got up without a word, walked out the door ... and fired all those idiots. Walked back in and said ... "Where were we? No, not the PATCO thing, that's done. What else?"

God bless Ronnie. President Reagan. Bush is close to that kind of stuff. Some flunky thought he needed to intrude on the President's time to inform him that loose cannon Rumsfeld just labeled our adversaries in the War on Terror (France, Germany, Belgium, Greece, Sweden, etc.) "Old Europe". He informed Bush that the leaders in Bonn, Stockholm, Brussels and Paris were apoplectic. Bush looked up and said "Good". Went back to his duties.

We're in good hands.

Even if the person lost a child it had nothing to do with the topic at hand. I'm not a big fan of sympathy whores.

I didn't claim that it is 100%...but sadly,most people in that age group,NEVER vote.

I haven't missed a single election,for anything,since I got the vote and neither has my daughter;but, this isn't the norm...unfortunately.

Finally found your ping to me about Arnold somewhere in the 2,000s!

Arnold's speech was incredible... like Giuliani, he knocked it outta the park and then some! We were watching the speeches with total focus tonight, rather than running back and forth between computer/tv rooms (as usual for me).

Arnold should be teh focus as the Patriots should have been.

I thought reelecting President Bush was the focus?

Verdict is in. My son called and said most of the male students in his dorm are going "ga ga" over the twins, so they played quite well to the younger generation.

LOL... great to hear! Earlier tonight, we called and e-mailed my stepson in CA, encouraging him to watch them and his governator's speech (the e-mail included several pics of the pretty twins). Hope he tuned in... ;-)

I can't wait for tomorrow and Thursday! This is such a better convention,than the Dem one and no,that is NOT because I am biased. :-)

Our main speakers and even some of the not so prime-time ones (Steele was just incredible!)beat their's by a miles.

DNC vs. RNC Speaker Scorecard...

Shrillary vs. McCain...The Moore slap cinched it!

Slick vs. Rudy.........Rudy by TKO

Obama vs. Arnold.......Governator ended it early by KO

TeRAYza vs. Laura......Are you kidding me?


And we're just getting to the meat of the line-up!
