I hope Repubicans are listening.
"Yet we now hear a loud chorus of Democrats who want us to cut- and-run in Iraq - with one radical position being an immediate stand down of U.S. troops in Iraq and withdrawal by the end of April.
It is important to understand the consequences of pulling out of Iraq before our work is done and victory is won. Abandoning our Iraqi friends would signal the world that America cannot be trusted to keep its word. We would undermine the morale of our military by betraying the cause for which they have sacrificed. The tyrants in the Middle East would laugh at our failed resolve, and tighten their repressive grip. We would hand Iraq over to enemies who have pledged to attack us again and again as they did on 9/11. And the global terrorist movement would be emboldened and more dangerous than ever. To retreat before victory has been won would be a reckless act - and this President will not allow it.
This is an issue worthy of a public debate. "

"For decades, Democrats were setting the agenda, the pace of change, and the visionary goals. Republicans were simply reacting to them. But times change - and this President and today's Republican Party are shaping history, not trying to stop it. Together we are articulating a compelling vision of a better world.
We need to learn from our successes - and from the failures of others. As the governing party in America, Republicans cannot grow tired or timid. We have been given the opportunity to govern; we have to continue to show we deserve the trust of our fellow Americans. "
OK, so I didn't catch a typo -- I meant Republicans.
This is a really good speech!
"Our opponents are our fellow citizens, not our enemies."
The DUmocrat leaders are the enemy and Osama has become their spokesman on the War On Terror and Al-Queda is acting as their army on the field. The LIEberals would gladly hand over the sovereignty to the enemy, which is why DUmocrats can count themselves among them.
The last 2 elections for president were too close for comfort. What's the game plan to win in 2008?
"...The world has changed dramatically since Lincoln made this statement. We now have sophisticated polls, complicated computers, detailed voting databases, the internet, and more. But the basics of winning remain what they were.
We have to "make a perfect list of all the voters" and see to it our supporters are brought to the polls by someone they hold in confidence.
That depends on what you do, and the passion and energy you bring to our great cause..."
Bullsh!t!!
Thanks
The elephant in the room that was not discussed is illegal immigration. It won't disappear by pretending it is not there.
bttt
Bin Laden is offering us a "long-term truce on fair conditions," and we aren't even going to take a peek at his conditions? How dare the president ridicule and reject him?

There, NOW it's true!
If Karl Rove doesn't yet recognize that the DemocRATS and the ENEMEDIA ARE the enemy from within, doing all they can do to lose this war and destroy this country,then he isn't as smart as I thought he was.
"Honorable people can have honest political differences. And we should strive for civility and intellectual integrity in our debates."
Now this is true, but other than Joe Lieberman and Zell Miller, I haven't witnessed any Democrats that are honorable or who have integrity of any kind. Their politicizing of this war makes every one of them guilty of TREASON!
