Don't think he deserves props for rocking that house. Any one of us could write the same kind of junk. I mean, you're talking about Republican delegates here, 95% of whom support the war? Give me a break, they're the extremists in this country, and most certainly in this world. I am embarrassed for my country every moment I watch this convention. These are the worst we have to offer; the kind of people who smirk as they talk about the war being "good for business, bad for the people" and then turn around and cheer Zell Miller on when he makes one of the most ridiculous claims of the night - that wherever in the world we drop bombs on civilians, violate sovereignty and international law, and occupy other people's land as if it were some square in a game of Risk, we are LIBERATORS. Even when, oh, say upwards of 90% of the people you are violating consider you occupiers. I cannot believe the gall these people have, it's beyond self-righteous. We are so out of step with the rest of the world, and the worst part is that we don't care. Anyway my point about the speech is that it was a pathetic appeal to the worst side of that rabid crowd. It was simplistic, flag-waving drivel, which is more than enough to please that crowd any day. No props, he deserves contempt for joining a very dangerous group and contributing handily (more than Cheney, can you imagine?) to the very problems that make us hated everywhere in the world, and divided at home. Sounds like a recipe for success in the War on Terrrrrr!!!
