Bush’s RNC Speech: Fumbled
Bush’s RNC Speech: Fumbled!
Due to limited time, I’ll get straight to the point, even if Bush did not during his last night’s speech. Bush spoke mostly of Terror and War. He recapitulated September 11th stories and of his personal glory. But he refused to speak about anything solid, such as the economy, healthcare, gay rights, pro-choice, etc. What little he said about these issues indicates a lack of connection with voters. Iraq & the war on Terror are wearing a bit thin on the nation. With the onset of hurricane season, new violence in Russia, decrease in jobs, voters will not turn to Bush for war mongering. They want new action. If you watched the convention you will see that even some Republicans protested inside the Garden during his speech about his reasons to go to war with Iraq. They were quickly escorted out of the stadium. Bush experienced three (3) interruptions. This says a lot coming from his own constituents.
Further, Bush had no solution on the Iraq situation. He did not discuss the new uprising in Falluja & Najaf. Our army’s retreat indicates that we still don’t have the city “under our control.” Bush mentioned that, “Freedom is a gift of God.” If so, then why are we enforcing unwanted Democracy? Bush Jr. directly disagreed with his father’s anti-Manifest Destiny & anti-liberation policies. Bush believes it is his duty to bring democracy to every nation, with force, if he “has to.” Bush Jr. also indicated a harmonious tie with Israel, which goes against Bush Sr.’s administration. Clearly, Bush is saying loud and clear that We have no choice in the matter. In other words, “Liberation is a gift given to you Nations by us Americans.” Also, there was no mention of the true terrorist, Osama Bin Laden. Not once did he mention Osama, the “evil doer and murderer,” of over 3,000 Americans. He played up on his supposed September 11th unifier hero personage. But he did not mention our continued (lack thereof) efforts in Afghanistan. Once again, he tried to connect terrorism with Iraq, mentioning it several times with the reasons why we went to war with a country that did NOT have terrorist ties or WMDs. Additionally, he didn’t share the breaking news regarding Russian terrorists, which have taken over the Beslan territory. Perhaps the reason is, we don’t have a hidden agenda & nothing to gain from Russia. Nor did he mention that the true terrorists lie in Saudi Arabia. He kept vague on the real issues and on current news stories.
When he attempted to discuss domestic issues, he talked a lot of talk. But if you review the promises and agenda he gave the American people in 2000, you will find he has not even started some of these programs or completed 15% of the domestic agenda. We have one of the largest governments in history, if you include a billion (s) dollar military expenses. He is the only President since Herbert Hoover that is losing jobs (on average). There is a rise of poverty. He says one thing but does another. Last night, he even tried to convince the nation that he is running a “compassionate conservative” campaign, when clearly reporters and political pundits have been saying otherwise. He is a right-wing extremist, who settles on a pre-emptive war measure and throws theocratic statements, such as “freedom is a gift of God,” in a separated state from church nation. Have we forgotten that we formed this government so that all can have religious freedom? And did we not create government branches that were separated from church, so we could have a non-conflicted nation? Bush Jr. knows nothing of this. What he does know is to promise a lot and under-deliver. What happened to the “Leave No Children Behind” campaign? He left them behind by concentrating on an unwanted war that had no diplomacy taken. He loved the Florida classroom photo op though, didn’t he? He is “man” who talks the talk, but doesn’t walk the walk. In other words, our President is a FLAKE.
Wasn’t it so nice to see his self-deprecation too? I personally loved it when he said that even Arnold Schwartzenegger corrects his English. Wonderful. It came to no surprise that Bush barely could read the elementary text written for his speech. He had one of the world’s renowned speech writers, but critics wondered why it was so uncomplicated & basic. Bush stumbled over his words, as if it was his first read. He spoke very slowly and inarticulately. Do we really want to have a flaky, contradicting, & dividing president another 4 years? JOHANNA
