RNC Coverage Night 1 or was it Night 2?

Night one was washed out by hurricane Gustav, and the Republican National Convention was turned into a fundraising drive for the hurricane victims. The RNC put the country first and cut their convention short, which was definitely the right decision.

Joe Lieberman put it all on the line for McCain

Wow…Joe Lieberman really put country before party last night. His democrat colleagues are not going to be happy about that at all.

“So tonight, I ask you whether you are independent, a Reagan Democrat or a Clinton Democrat, or just a Democrat: This year, when you vote for president, vote for the person you believe is best for the country, not for the party you happen to belong to.”

Lieberman is probably finished within the Democrat Party, but I doubt he cares all that much.

Fred Thompson was On Fire Last Night!

Fred Thompson gave a great speech last night. If he had spoke with that kind of spirit and humor during the primary he might have been the nominee.

Thompson gave his overwhelming support for VP candidate Sarah Palin and had a word for her critics.”Some Washington pundits and media big shots are in a frenzy over the selection of a woman who has actually governed rather than just talked a good game on the Sunday talk shows and hit the Washington cocktail circuit. Well, give me a tough Alaskan Governor who has taken on the political establishment in the largest state in the Union — and won — over the beltway business-as-usual crowd any day of the week.”

The John McCain Story Backed by Friends.

One of the major differences between this convention and the Democrat’s convention is how the story has been told about their candidate. John McCain has friends, personal experiences from people like Fred Thompson and Joe Lieberman who worked proudly with McCain in the Senate. Character witnesses if you will…We did not see that during the DNC.

No one during the DNC could tell a personal story of working with Barack Oabama or share any of his life accomplishments…Yeah, there was his wife, but it isn’t as meaningful when it comes from family. Maybe the reason we never got any character witnesses is because the people that know Obama the best are the ones Obama doesn’t want you to remember that he is associated with.
