This speech is making us all want to be better people. Amen.
You call him insightful and brilliant--a prodigy!
This convention makes your PROUD to be an American.........instead of that whiney Dem thing in Boston.
Thank God.
Okay, I take back every criticism I had of this speech. It ended on the best note possible. God bless this man!!!!!!
I love that twinkle in his eye!!
You got it; he has to go negative to keep his base and Bush has given a speech tonight aimed at the remaining middle, real opportunity, real hope and Kerry's going to talk about something that happened 30 years ago?
Go ahead Flipper, sign your own political death warrant.
Thought I was imagining it. Guess not. This is a very special man. He must be overwhelmed right now. What an honor to hear him speak. He is the right man for the job.
It doesn't matter, we must be doing something right with God, because George W. Bush is our President...thank you God, thank you.
He's really connecting in this last 15 minutes!
Here buildings fell. Here, a Nation rose.
never forget!
I've watched conventions since 1964--I can't remember another speech (and there have been good ones from Clinton in 1992, W in 2000) which have been more profoundly significant.
LIBERTY CENTURY!
Quoting Ecclesiastics now.
This will be Liberty's century!!
Liberty's century.
He's inspiring America in a way Kerry NEVER could.
I hoped I had! ;-)
WHooooooooo!
This young century will be liberties century!
By promoting liberty abroad we will promote a more hopeful America!!!
