I am going there and bringing my mother with me..her first W rally ever. Look for me if you want in a Winslow #81 Miami Hurricanes orange jersey.
Earnhardt Jr. donated money to Edwards...so I doubt the Carolina boys of DEI would show up at Daytona..especially with a race today.
Well, it was Billy Ray Cyrus in Orlando. He was great.
Ch. 13 in Orlando is showing the rally right now and also some protestors outside.
Jeb Bush said we are a proud state that is pro defense and pro national security!
"DOCTORS FOR BUSH", "VETERANS FOR BUSH".
Ch. 13 IS showing the full rally! KUDOS TO THEM! President Bush referenced how Jeb dealt with 4 hurricanes. He is talking about the recession he had when he took office. He is talking about the national unemployment rate being lower than the 1990's, farm income up, home ownership at an all time high. We are not going back to the time of big govt.. We have to do something about these junk lawsuits hurting small business owners. We must be less dependent on foreign energy. China "Treat us the way we treat you." Keep taxes low. Kerry can run from his record but he cannot hide. Kerry has to break a bunch of other promises to keep one. Schools are making gains now in high expectations.
He is talking about healthcare. He said Kerry wants a big govt. healthcare plan. President Bush wants decisions to be made by doctors and patients. Heath savings accts. encouraged. The social security situation needs fixing. "Remember in the 2000 campaign they said the seniors will lose their SS checks? They never did lose them. They will continue to get them." He says Kerry is against reforms regarding personal savings accounts. "There is a word for that attitude! It is called LIBERALISM!!!"
"I believe in empowering peoples lives, not running them with big government!" President Bush says Kerry has many opinions but his record is clear and he sits on the far left side of the bank. The crowd is yelling "HE CAN RUN! BUT HE CANNOT HIDE!!!"
"IF YOU DON'T WANT A DRAFT..VOTE FOR ME!"
"If the 1991 war did not pass Senator Kerry's global test..nothing will pass his global test!"
At the end of the rally Scott Harris on Ch. 13 said "President Bush hit all the points and energized his base."
I just got home from the daytona rally..stopped for a big dinner...met chieftan and his pal up there doing the swift boat sticker thing. It was 15,000 people supposedly. Sure enough though..Bush's slip up on saying he was in favor of the draft and then correction...is the thing local news is showing.
I knew they would.
Yes. The media has been showing that a lot. Too bad when there is so much more to be gleaned from what President Bush has to say.
