RNC Day 3--The Zell Miller Show!

So where do I start with this one. I tell ya, I was so pumped after listening to Zell Miller lastnight that I almost came in and posted my thoughts right then and there. But, I decided to wait and see how I felt this morning before posting on my blog.

Lastnight was an amazing night in the history of American political conventions. Zell Miller took the stage with a passion and zeal not seen in a very long time...especially from the Republicans who tend to be afraid of such outburts and their perceptions. Zell came out firing from the word go and point-by-point filleted John Kerry on every stance he's taken in this campaign.

Zell was harsh but not personal. Don't listen to the editorialists in the major print media b/c they will tell you a lie. The New York Times, L.A. Times, Houston Chronicle, Washington Post and others will play the "insensitive" card and the "it was an attack unseen before" card but that's, let's see let's use a Zell-ism " a big bowl of mush!"

This speech WILL resonate with women too. It may come off as sexist but women in this country want a manly-man to tell them things are going to be ok and by damned those terrorists are going to have to deal with a mighty hammer the next time they even think of doing something like 9/11 again. Women want a strong, manly, leader in their home and it transfers to the presidency in a time such as this.

Zell's delivery will resonate with many voters, especially those in the south who know exactly where Zell's delivery style was coming from. See, in the south, we're familiar with a term called "bein' taken to the woodshed!" For those of you not so familiar with it, it's when the leading figurehead in your life as a child took you out back and "set you straight about some things". Sometimes it was a little barking like Zell unleashed lastnight and sometimes it was a little more, shall we say "physical."

The polls will be interesting to watch come the weekend and early next week. The libbies are running scared right now and not sure how to respond to Zell's rant lastnight. BTW, I hope you were able to watch Chris Matthew's show "WiffleBall" lastnight after the convention. On it, Zell tore in to Matthew's and left him and his bully style of interviewing speechless.


I leave you today with the best line from the speech lastnight...

This is the man who wants to be the Commander in Chief of our U.S. Armed Forces? U.S. forces armed with what? Spitballs?

RNC Day 1

Well I have to admit Day 1 of the RNC lived up to my hyped expectations. Sen. McCain was excellent and very statesman like. He definitely drove home the validity of Bush being the guy to deal best with terrorism and the threat it is to our safety. It was pretty clear that he will be a front runner in 2008 for the Republican nomination. Pair him up with a Condi Rice or Colin Powell and the Dems are doomed!

Guiliani was brilliant! He had the crowd in the palm of his hand and illustrated the Kerry inconsistencies with wit, humor, clarity and conviction. Here's the guy who led NYC thru that horrible disaster and who better to talk about what it takes to rise from such ruins than Giuliani. He praised Bush for his efforts and his humor while attacking Kerry's record allowed the point to be made without sounding harsh and cruel. He left me feeling very good about things and compared with that ridiculously boring DNC, I was quite impressed with the first speakers.

Well tonight is the governator and Laura. Two more good ones. Tomorrow night is Zell Miller and I can't wait for Zell!!!!!! He's gonna be so good.

Thank God the RNC is finally here!

Alrighty! The RNC is finally upon us. It begins today with speeches tonight by John McCain, Rudy Guiliani and Zell Miller(? I think he's tonight).

I'm looking forward to hearing some positive messages about our president and his efforts to make our country safer and more prosperous. I'm going to try and watch some of the speeches tonight although they are in direct conflict with the Dallas Cowboys' 3rd preseason game. The Cowboys get first dibs tonight.

I'm also interested in listening to the cable shows afterwards to see how they can dissect the speeches and what libbys they bring in to debunct the speeches. Whatever you can do, check in on Hardball and O'Reilly when Laura Ingraham is on so that you can get the real take on the conservative speak. She's outstanding!
