Theft of ‘air-time’……..
Rich Galen is back in fine form after his stint in Iraq! Here’s a link to his latest, as of Wednesday; unfortunately it will only be good for a day or two, but JFM will try to keep it working, as it changes upon publication of the next Mullings. The topic-du-jour is the blatant damning with faint praise and mealy-mouthed protestations of Democrats trying to climb on the “we loved Ronald Reagan…really we did” band-wagon, some 20+ years on, solely for political gain for their current candidate.
Ronald Reagan spoke the truth in a loud clear voice: no ambiguities, no braggadocio, no empty promises, just statement of purpose and goals.
What the hell is wrong with clear straight-forward declarative sentences. Flowery effusive oratory may sound grand on the campaign trail, but has NO place in governance. All those who look down on President Bush’s manner of speaking merely show their own lack of clarity and understanding, a wish for style, not substance. Simplicity does not mean stupidity; far better, it indicates a depth of comprehension that is well considered and well defined. And apparently above and beyond the capacity to understand of those who attempt to deride that easy ability to connect with the electorate.
