Giuliani Speech Was Incredible
I'm been purposely avoiding the presidential candidates and conventions as there are plenty of others focusing on those topics. I've been sticking strictly to issues that I take to heart. However, the speech by Rudy Giuliani last night at the...

Giuliani Speech (reaction)
Giuliani understands the minds of the terrorists: these are not reasonable and civilized people upon whom sweet reason will have its desired effect. Instead, any action other than stomping out the terrorists themselves is effectively appeasement -- a s...

Giuliani seemed to figure out that he was stepping on the applause about two-thirds of the way through. He just seemed like he wanted to rush through it. Maybe that's his normal way of speaking, but I thought he could have done better on that part of the delivery. Overall, though, I'd give it a thumbs up.

"A Nation of Courage" I watched Senator McCain and Rudy Giuliani address the RNC. What a great first night. It is important that McCain endorse President Bush, especially because McCain was Kerry's first choice for Kerry's running mate. McCain's speech was good. He reminded

You Know . . .
He really is quite an ugly man. Is it wrong to say that? I guess it's unkind. Of course, it was unkind of him to suggest that any President—much less this one—would send young men and women into harm's way...

I just saw that left-wing loony Ed Koch was also a speaker at the convention... that is upsetting. There are so many things that I could say about these issues, and about how frustrated many of us conservatives are with what's been going on - during the Bush administration, and before that - but alas, course work and College Republicans call...

The last time I enjoyed watching a Republican National Convention was in 1996. (From what I've heard, the 1992 one was excellent as well.) The last two have just been too painful to see.

HELLLLLLLLLLL YES
I missed McCain’s speech, but Rudy knocked it out of Yankee Stadium all the way to Fenway. (Blogs For Bush has the text of McCain’s here, and Rudy’s here). Compare his message to John Kerry’s...

I thought he dith a gweat thob. (okay, okay, I *really* thought it was wonderful, I just find his slight lisp surprising in a public speaker).

Best line of the evening: the bit about John Edwards wanting two Americas for Kerry's two sides of every issue.

Giuliani Steals the Show
Rudolph Giuliani rightly appeared after three widows of 9/11. It was a fitting opening and hopefully a fitting ending to their testimony. Giuliani is known for being tough on crime and an all around tough guy period. He helped clean New York of many ga...
