Taking the oppurtunity to take another potshot at the SOTU this gentleman thinks Bush's speech to Governors was a great way to kick off his campaign for reelction. http://www.tnr.com/doc.mhtml?i=stumped&s=kusnet022404
It's like I've been telling you guys: The days of dimwitted Democrats bashing and lying without a response are coming to a close. Very soon now, all this moronic crap will get it back square in the face: The other party's nomination battle is still playing out. The candidates are an interesting group, with diverse opinions: For tax cuts, and against them. For NAFTA, and against NAFTA. For the Patriot Act, and against the Patriot Act. In favor of liberating Iraq, and opposed to it. And that's just one senator from Massachusetts. (Laughter and applause.) Come November, the voters are going to have a very clear choice. It's a choice between keeping the tax relief that is moving the economy forward, or putting the burden of higher taxes back on the American people. It is a choice between an America that leads the world with strength and confidence, or an America that is uncertain in the face of danger. The American people will decide between two visions of government: a government that encourages ownership and opportunity and responsibility, or a government that takes your money and makes your choices. At a time when competition is not just across town, but across borders and continents, America's productive workers have made this economy the fastest growing of any major industrialized nation. (Applause.) We confronted the dangers of state-sponsored terror, and the spread of weapons of mass destruction. We have used the power of this country to end forever two of the most violent and dangerous regimes on Earth. More than 50 million people in Afghanistan and Iraq are reclaiming the rights and dignity of free men and women -- and America has been proud, once again, to lead the armies of liberation. (Applause.) In the next four years, we'll keep our enemies on the run, and extend the frontiers of liberty. In the next four years, we'll help more Americans to find their opportunities in a changing economy. In the next four years, we will stand for the values that make us a good and decent country. (Applause.) Our opponents have not offered much in the way of strategies to win the war, or policies to expand our economy. So far, all we hear is a lot of old bitterness and partisan anger. Anger is not an agenda for the future of America. (Applause.) http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/02/20040223-10.html
