But after the protestors the crowd lost all of its passion also.

Well, there are a few Freeper die-hards who will proclaim this the greatest since the Gettysburg Address.

W will get savaged by the MSM; and our media guys have their work cut out to put on a happy face.

My advice, I hope Zell shows up tonight on the platform, and on the campaign trail.

[Fedora]

Yep, we need to be prepared to turn the guns from Kerry to Hillary when the time comes.

[CurlyBill]

Okay, what's happening tomorrow? Here in the East, tomorrow is only 58 minutes away. You seemed to know something this morning.... let's have it! What's the bombshell?

[Edit35]

Every single point the President makes is better and more righteous than the one before.

Each sentence is a home run.

Amazing.

[js1138]

Maybe that same person's still around, writing editorials.

I was hoping he'd use the example of Germany.

[TheBigB]

I like this speech! :-)

Vixen. ;-)

[tame]

Can't you at least try to be MORE positive? We have enough trouble fighting the lying Dems and media. You're NOT helping.

I;m trying, Howlin. Honestly I am. You know me, I call it as I see it, but I DO want to see the positive. Overall this convention was a SMASHING SUCCESS. However, this speech...well....(shrug)

[SevenofNine]

THat going tick off Law and Order boss Dick WOlf

I could tell

[Tribune7]

It sounds like one of Slick's speeches. Of course, Slick's speeches worked.

And I do believe Dubya means every word he says.

A boring speech may be just what is needed.

[meyer]

I personally think the Clintons are sitting back LOVING this! Kerry's toast and it is Hillary in 2008..... (they wish!)

Hitlery is no match for Jeb. Nor for Rudy or Sen. Frist. She ain't got a chance against any top Republican contender.

[texasflower]

Exactly. I can't get over how great that background is.

That is very Presidential as well.

[CWW]

Here he goes -- I believes.....Good job!

[coder2]

How do you do that ??

I'm reading your words/post and listening to him say those same words at the same time ???

[Lil'freeper]

Did they leave the speech? For what?

I wasn't being clear. The story of the 7 has been long and ongoing. From bringing them here, to their surgeries, to meeting the Pres. A journalist made a 30min documentary on it. The networks ignored the story and refused to run the piece. So, I'm glad the story got out via this speech.

[Petronski]

I love the mention of Nicaragua! F**k John Kerry and his Sandanista-loving ass.

[Lanza]

I forgot about that. That was truly bizarre how much Kerry was sweating that night. No confidence showing there at all. Loooooser!

[arasina]

F'n had white goo in his mouth when he gave his acceptance speech at the DNC Convention.

[Soul Seeker]

Millions plead in silence for liberty.....Almighty's gift to every man and woman in this world!!

[pyx]

God Bless you, President Bush !

Kick demonRAT @$$ and take no prisoners !

The only thing that can lose in November is if Republicans become over confident and complacent.

Don't be lulled to sleep by the LEFT ! They won't lie down and die easily.

[HRoarke]

Nice one...
