1. A call to personal strength and mature responsibility.

2. Imagine if this were

his - or ANY Dem candidate's convention speech

[patrice]

3. Oh, I wish!!!!

This man is speaking truth to "power".

I want him to run for office again.

[patrice]

4. Little nod to "Right to Life" there.

[scarletlib]

5. He is on fire!

Chills down my spine as I listen to him.

[patrice]

6. a little nod to "Right to Life" there . . .

". . . we have a duty to defend our right, not only to Life, but also to Liberty . . . "

Very Smart!!!

7. Who?

[alarimer]

8. That is also what a true opposition party should sound like

Our Democrats in Congress need to be all over this issue. Why they have not been assailing it is beyond me.

9. A very powerful speech it was indeed.

[erpowers]

10. Heck Yes

He definitely sounded like a President. Throughout the whole speech I wished he had run for President in 2004.

11. Good powerful speech, however, please remember he is free

to say anything he wants. He no longer hold a powerful office and he will not be held accountable if his words damage or hurt any relationships or plans in progress with allies. He no longer has all the connections or privileges he once did so he may not be speaking from the point of view as a world leader as much as a very concerned American citizen.

12. How would ANYTHING he said today HURT any relationships or plans in

progress?

[second edition]

13. The media can claim he is still mad at Bush for "winning" the election. n/
