A stage in the crowd
Drudge is reporting:
“Bush will give his acceptance speech at Madison Square Garden next week from a small circular stage in a sea of thousands of delegates and other guests…”
Just in case you don’t get it–he’s a man of the people. While it’s a great move (makes Kerry look like even more of an elitist), something a little more subtle would have been nice. If they could somehow bring “the ranch” to Madison Square, it would so happen.
As we get closer to the election, the race is starting to get interesting. 527s are where the action is at… The swifties deserve a medal for underground PR. Out of no where (why use PR News Wire when you have the DrudgeReport?) the group of vets has amassed over 7,000 media mentions in the last few weeks. This smashes the much better funded and promoted MoveOn crew and their sub-3,000 showing.
As long as you’re straight & Christian. What ever happened to “uniter not a divider”? Why does the GOP platform have to explictly attack gay people?
Well it attacks it unless you’re Cheny and have a gay daughter. Heh. It’s part of the platform because that’s what the church going right of this country wants. Personally I am for gay marriage.
I’m a Libertarian, and my opposition to Bush is more for his disregard for the constitution, attacks on our civil liberties, stifling of opposing views, & weakening of separation between church & state. In fact if I thought there was any hope of them moving towards the center, I would consider joining the Log Cabin Republicans. Unfortunately, there’s no chance the republican party would ever move to the center and return to what they originally claimed to stand for. Maybe we need a new conservative party minus the religious right.
