This is the week where it all comes together. The nation has been treated to a positive view of a great American President, and will continue to be treated to glowing accolades into the weekend, after which the campaigns will start up again. But what is there left for the opposing party to campaign on?
Conservatism has been successfully passed on to the public when it comes to taxation. Lower taxes are a mantra for both parties now. The only question is how.
Iraq will drop from the radar as sovereignty is passed. Furthermore, Kerry's issue of "going to the UN" has been taken from the table. Bush went. He got an agreement. He won.
The economy is on the upswing. People are going back to work at a blistering pace. The economy is growing. Why change leadership now?
And the coup de grace. America has been terror-free for three years. National security policy is working, and working well.
This week is it. It's the turning point; it's the point of distillation for the Bush campaign. People across the nation should realize, "yeah, you know what - our President has done a pretty good job, and the minor quibbles that we might have with him are nothing compared to the good that he has done."
A nation drunk on political rhetoric has been sobered up, and they'll have a much clearer view of this nation's mission and purpose.
God bless Ronald Reagan for giving our nation the opportunity to remain optimistic today.
I believe that Iraq will find its way, better than expected, and that we will have a victory out of it all. President Bush especially, will have achieved something that was feared especially by the French and other socialists who have resisted the opportunities for Iraq, that they, the socialists, have claimed to be for people everywhere else.
I believe that the self-determination, that has been infused, encouraged, taught, and shown by example, by our armed forces under great duress while maintaining good will toward the Iraqi people, such that the plain humanity of such good will gives rise to the passion in those who observe it, for doing something worthy, will, among the Iraqis themselves, in contrast to how such ambitions were repeated exterminated by Saddam Hussein, prove to be infectious.
Bush, in other words, is going to win one for the Gipper.
