The only thing I can think right now is that "There is a better way".
When I heard this line, "Our men and women in uniform are making sacrifices -- and showing a sense of duty stronger than all fear. They know what it is like to fight house-to-house in a maze of streets ... to wear heavy gear in the desert heat ... to see a comrade killed by a roadside bomb. And those who know the costs also know the stakes." I could not help but to scream at the tv THAT'S BECAUSE YOU PUT THEM THERE!!!
I have no clue how Georgie Bush is going to make any of his promise statements come to fruition. He has low poll #'s and not a lot of spare cash to do so... We'll see.
Note to American Polititians: Please do not re-instate the Patriot Act blindly!
Scary point: the thunderous applause on the welcome to the 2 new members of the Supreme Court... (What's scarier than a room 1/2 full of Republicans? A room that's full of Republicans!)
Um Major history problem George: "We are the nation that saved liberty in Europe, and liberated death camps, and helped raise up democracies, and faced down an evil empire. Once again, we accept the call of history to deliver the oppressed, and move this world toward peace." Uh hon, America didn't liberate Europe all on it's own...The first and second World Wars were won with Canada, Britain and other countries too! Check your facts.
"Yet the destination of history is determined by human action, and every great movement of history comes to a point of choosing. Lincoln could have accepted peace at the cost of disunity and continued slavery. Martin Luther King could have stopped at Birmingham or at Selma, and achieved only half a victory over segregation. The United States could have accepted the permanent division of Europe, and been complicit in the oppression of others. Today, having come far in our own historical journey, we must decide: Will we turn back, or finish well?"
Please do not compare yourself to Abe Lincoln, or Dr. King.... To steal a quote from Wendy and Jordon the other day, "Jesus is crying!"
Regarding the Democratic response, I do have a little crush on the brand spankin-new Governor of Virginia, Tim Kaine. He's a sweetie! {That's my partisan moment here on this blog :-) }
Side note: Cindy Sheehan was arrested just before President Bush took the podium, because she would not remove an anti-war shirt. She was an invited guest of Rep. Lynn Woolsey, a Democrat from California.

Bush=Moron. That man gets on my last nerve. I can't even watch him speak. I always have Jon Stewart in my head making that little Bush laugh he does. It's the only way I get through it.
Bush does not equal moron, except that he's more on than off. What surprised me was Cindy Sheehan was a guest on Hugo Chavez's show.
