DNC Day 2

Wed, 09-01-2004 - 12:42am
Zowie! Sorry folks--that should be RNC Day 2. I'm obviously up past my bedtime. ;-)
General Tommy Franks announced today that he will support George Bush for president at our blog conference at the Republican National Convention. http://www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/archives/002383.php

Q: General, do you support George Bush for President?


A: Yes.


Q: With regards to consistency, did George Bush hurt himself with his remarks on Matt Lauer that maybe we can't win a war on terror?


A: Absolutely not. We won a Cold War, didn't we? And we didn't do that in 15 minutes.


Q: Did Ronald Reagan show that kind of doubt in his effort to win the Cold War?


A: I don't know that there was any doubt shown at all. I think that we're talking about consistency, and persistency, and anybody who looks at this thing over the last three and a half years is going to have a heck of a hard time trying to point out when he was not consistent or persistent. You got a lot of people who look at the other side, see, and they'll say, well, my goodness, he shouldn't have been so persistent. By gosh, he should have changed his mind. Well, absolutely not.


Q: He did clarify himself on Rush Limbaugh.


A: I didn't see that. I didn't hear that.


Q: He did clarify his Matt Lauer comments.


A: What'd he say?


Q: He basically said that he misstated it. Well, he clarified his point that it is a winnable war, it's not going to have an official end. It won't --


A: Well, yeah.


Q: It won't end in a treaty.


A: Yeah, and I think that it's one of those kind of things where you have to look real hard to find a parade after the Cold War. You know when the wall came down? The greatest standoff of our time. A nuclear standoff crisis that went on for decades. I believe if you had asked any president, during that time, and asked, "What do you think? Is it winnable?", he might well have said, "Well, I don't know, it's kind of standoffish." But the fact of the matter is that the war on terrorism is winnable. But it's not winnable in 15 minutes or in 12 months. It's going to go for a while.


Q: Do you think John Kerry can fight an effective war on terror?


A: Well, I support George W. Bush. You know what? I know what John Kerry is against. I'm having a little trouble figuring out what he's for.


Q: Is our successful fight against Moqtada al-Sadr in Najaf diverting us from the more important effort in Ramadi and Fallujah and the rest of Western Iraq?


A: No, I don't think so. I think what you have to do in Iraq is you have to play each day at a time. You know, we can criticize ourselves for not having the perfect plan, at any juncture we want to criticize ouselves. We can break out the sackcloth and the chains and all that sort of stuff, but the fact of the matter is when we were talking about 25, 28 million people, and they have been in the circumstances they've been in for the last three decades, then what you're going to find is that fractious behavior by the al-Sadrs, you're going to find situations like Fallujah, you're going to find situations in Mosul or Tikrit on a given day. We rise to them as they come up.


Q: General Franks, there has been a lot of criticism with some people saying that President Bush did not have a plan to win the peace. Can you address that?


A: Sure. Of course he had a plan to win the peace. Of course he did. Of course the United States had a plan to build the largest coalition the world has ever seen. And did it. Of course the United States had a plan to lead a coalition to remove one of the most despotic regimes we've seen in the last 100 years. Of course the United States of America has a plan to lead the coalition that will permit and assist the Iraqi people in claiming a new Iraq for themselves, a free Iraq. And all of that is going to take longer than a flash in the pan associated with popping a balloon.


You guys OK now?


Q: On the Swiftboat controversy, when you were first asked about it --


A: Yes. I'm still not -- I'm still not a big guy into hyperbole. I mean, I'm not a big guy into hyperbole, on either end of the continuum. I think he had two issues, and I think Senator McCain has pointed them out very well. You have situations that went on where the Swiftboat guys were on down in Vietnam, I was in Vietnam, John McCain was in Vietnam, John Kerry was in Vietnam, and the vets were in Vietnam. And I don't have anything to say about that. On the other hand, my concern is what happened after Vietnam, after Senator Kerry returned from Vietnam, and I may well have something to say about that.


Q: They said that if Kerry would apologize for his 1971 testimony, they would drop all future Swiftboat ads from the campaign. Do you think that's fair?


A: Oh, in my personal view, it's not a matter of dropping something. I've said right from the start --


Q: That's what the Swiftvets said today. They offered it to Kerry if he would apologize.


A: Wouldn't that be great? You know why it would be great? Because the people of the United States of America could focus on what's important, and that's our children and our grandchildren and the next four years of leadership for America, where we are faced every day with one of the most serious threats we've faced in 100 years and that's terrorism. We're going to have to display consistency, character, be persistent in the face of the difficulty. And that's what America's going to have to draw from her President. Where are we going to get that kind of leadership? It's one thing to know what a man is against; it's an entirely different thing to know what a man is for.


Q: Thank you, General Franks.


It appears that George Bush has the fresh troops ready for the final push. Having a man with the credibility of General Tommy Franks on the trail pushing George Bush will raise confidence in Bush's leadership on national-security issues at the moment when Kerry already sees his support eroding on this critical quality. And it sounds like the former General has plenty to say, now that his retirement allows him to speak out.

Transcript of Arnold Schwarzenegger's Speech

Thank you.

What a greeting! This is like winning an Oscar! … As if I would know!


Speaking of acting, one of my movies was called “True Lies.” It’s what the Democrats should have called their convention.


My fellow Americans, this is an amazing moment for me. To think that a once-scrawny boy from Austria could grow up to become Governor of California and stand in Madison Square Garden to speak on behalf of the President of the United States that is an immigrant’s dream. It is the American dream.


I was born in Europe … and I’ve traveled all over the world. I can tell you that there is no place, no country, more compassionate, more generous, more accepting, and more welcoming than the United States of America.


As long as I live, I will never forget that day 21 years ago — when I raised my hand and took the oath of citizenship.


Do you know how proud I was? I was so proud that I walked around with an American flag around my shoulders all day long.


Tonight, I want to talk about why I’m even more proud to be an American — why I’m proud to be a Republican — and why I believe this country is in good hands.


When I was a boy, the Soviets occupied part of Austria. I saw their tanks in the streets. I saw communism with my own eyes. I remember the fear we had when we had to cross into the Soviet sector. Growing up, we were told, “Don’t look the soldiers in the eye. Look straight ahead.” It was a common belief that Soviet soldiers could take a man out of his own car and ship him off to the Soviet Union as slave labor.


My family didn’t have a car — but one day we were in my uncle’s car. It was near dark as we came to a Soviet checkpoint. I was a little boy, I wasn’t an action hero back then, and I remember how scared I was that the soldiers would pull my father or my uncle out of the car, and I’d never see him again. My family and so many others lived in fear of the Soviet boot. Today, the world no longer fears the Soviet Union — and it is because of the United States of America!


As a kid I saw the socialist country that Austria became after the Soviets left. I love Austria and I love the Austrian people — but I always knew America was the place for me. In school, when the teacher would talk about America, I would daydream about coming here. I would sit for hours watching American movies — transfixed by my heroes like John Wayne. Everything about America seemed so big to me — so open, so possible.


I finally arrived here in 1968.I had empty pockets, but I was full of dreams. The presidential campaign was in full swing. I remember watching the Nixon and Humphrey presidential race on TV. A friend who spoke German and English, translated for me. I heard Humphrey saying things that sounded like socialism — which is what I had just left. But then I heard Nixon speak. He was talking about free enterprise, getting government off your back, lowering taxes, and strengthening the military. Listening to Nixon speak sounded more like a breath of fresh air.


I said to my friend, “What party is he?” My friend said, “He’s a Republican.” I said, “Then I am a Republican!” And I’ve been a Republican ever since! And trust me, in my wife’s family, that’s no small achievement! I’m proud to belong to the party of Abraham Lincoln, the party of Teddy Roosevelt, the party of Ronald Reagan - and the party of George W. Bush.


To my fellow immigrants listening tonight, I want you to know how welcome you are in this party. We Republicans admire your ambition. We encourage your dreams. We believe in your future. One thing I learned about America is that if you work hard and play by the rules, this country is truly open to you. You can achieve anything.


Everything I have — my career — my success — my family — I owe to America. In this country, it doesn’t make any difference where you were born. It doesn’t make any difference who your parents were. It doesn’t make any difference if, like me, you couldn’t even speak English until you were in your twenties.


America gave me opportunities, and my immigrant dreams came true. I want other people to get the same chances I did, the same opportunities. And I believe they can. That’s why I believe in this country, that’s why I believe in this party — and that’s why I believe in this President.


Now, many of you out there tonight are “Republican” like me in your hearts and in your beliefs. Maybe you’re from Guatemala. Maybe you’re from the Philippines. Maybe Europe or the Ivory Coast. Maybe you live in Ohio, Pennsylvania or New Mexico. And maybe — just maybe — you don’t agree with this party on every single issue. I say to you tonight I believe that’s not only okay — that’s what’s great about this country. Here we can respectfully disagree and still be patriotic — still be American — and still be good Republicans.


My fellow immigrants, my fellow Americans how do you know if you are a Republican? I’ll tell you how.


If you believe that government should be accountable to the people, not the people to the government … then you are a Republican! If you believe a person should be treated as an individual, not as a member of an interest group … then you are a Republican! If you believe your family knows how to spend your money better than the government does … then you are a Republican! If you believe our educational system should be held accountable for the progress of our children … then you are a Republican! If you believe this country, not the United Nations, is the best hope of democracy in the world … then you are a Republican! And, ladies and gentlemen … if you believe we must be fierce and relentless and terminate terrorism … then you are a Republican!


There is another way you can tell you’re a Republican. You have faith in free enterprise, faith in the resourcefulness of the American people … and faith in the U.S. economy. To those critics who are so pessimistic about our economy, I say: Don’t be economic girlie men!


The U.S. economy remains the envy of the world. We have the highest economic growth of any of the world’s major industrialized nations. Don’t you remember the pessimism of twenty years ago - when the critics said Japan and Germany were overtaking the U.S.? Ridiculous!


Now they say India and China are overtaking us. Don’t you believe it! We may hit a few BUMPS — but America always moves ahead! That’s what Americans do!


We move prosperity ahead. We move freedom ahead. We move people ahead. Under President Bush, and Vice President Cheney, America’s economy is moving ahead in spite of a recession they inherited and in spite of the attack on our homeland.


Now, the other party says there are two Americas. Don’t believe that either. I’ve visited our troops in Iraq, Kuwait, Bosnia, Germany, and all over the world. I’ve visited our troops in California, where they train before they go overseas. And I’ve visited our military hospitals. And I can tell you this: Our young men and women in uniform do not believe there are two Americas!


They believe we are one America — and they are fighting for it! We are one America — and President Bush is defending it with all his heart and soul!


That’s what I admire most about the President. He’s a man of perseverance. He’s a man of inner strength. He is a leader who doesn’t flinch, doesn’t waiver, does not back down. My fellow Americans, make no mistake about it - terrorism is more insidious than communism, because it yearns to destroy not just the individual but the entire international order.


The President didn’t go into Iraq because the polls told him it was popular. As a matter of fact, the polls said just the opposite. But leadership isn’t about polls. It’s about making decisions you think are right and then standing behind those decisions. That’s why America is safer with George W. Bush as President.


He knows you don’t reason with terrorists. You defeat them. He knows you can’t reason with people blinded by hate. They hate the power of the individual. They hate the progress of women. They hate the religious freedom of others. They hate the liberating breeze of democracy. But, ladies and gentlemen, their hate is no match for America’s decency.


We’re the America that sends out Peace Corps volunteers to teach village children.


We’re the America that sends out missionaries and doctors to raise up the poor and the sick. We’re the America that gives more than any other country, to fight aids in Africa and the developing world. And we’re the America that fights not for imperialism but for human rights and democracy.


You know, When the Germans brought down the Berlin Wall — America’s determination helped wield the sledgehammers. When that lone, young Chinese man stood in front of those tanks in Tiananmen Square — America’s hopes stood with him. And when Nelson Mandela smiled in election victory after all those years in prison America celebrated, too.


We are still the lamp lighting the world — especially for those who struggle. No matter in what labor camp they slave — no matter in what injustice they’re trapped — they hear our call … they see our light … and they feel the pull of our freedom. They come here — as I did — because they believe. They believe in US.


They come because their hearts say to them, as mine did, “If only I can get to America.” Someone once wrote — “There are those who say that freedom is nothing but a dream.” They are right. It’s the American dream.


No matter the nationality, no matter the religion, no matter the ethnic background, America brings out the best in people. And as Governor of the great state of California — I see the best in Americans every day … our police, our firefighters — our nurses, doctors and teachers — our parents.


And what about the extraordinary men and women who have volunteered to fight — for the United States of America! I have such great respect for them and their heroic families.


Let me tell you about the sacrifice and commitment I’ve seen firsthand. In one of the military hospitals I visited, I met a young guy who was in bad shape. He’d lost a leg — had a hole in his stomach … his shoulder had been shot through.


I could tell there was no way he could ever return to combat. But when I asked him, “When do you think you’ll get out of the hospital?” He said, “Sir, in three weeks.” And do you know what he said to me then? He said he was going to get a new leg … and get some therapy ��� and then he was going back to Iraq to serve alongside his buddies! He grinned at me and said, “Arnold … I’ll be back!”


Ladies and gentlemen, America is back! — back from the attack on our homeland- back from the attack on our economy — back from the attack on our way of life. We’re back because of the perseverance, character and leadership of the 43rd President of the United States — George W. Bush.


My fellow Americans … I want you to know that I believe with all my heart that America remains “the great idea” that inspires the world. It’s a privilege to be born here. It’s an honor to become a citizen here. It’s a gift to raise your family here — to vote here — and to live here.


Our president George W. Bush has worked hard to protect and preserve the American dream for all of us. That’s why I say … send - him - back to Washington for four more years!


Thank you, America — and God bless you all!

Text of Elizabeth Dole's Speech

Thank you ladies and gentlemen for your warm welcome. And folks, this time I promise to stay behind the podium! For giving me the privilege and honor of representing them in the United State Senate, let me say thank you to the folks of the great state of North Carolina. For giving America courageous leadership in times of trial, decisive leadership in times of crisis, we thank you, Mr. President. You have restored honor and dignity to the White House.

The Presidency tests all who have been there. It has tested you, sir. Your road has not been easy; your burden has not been light; yet you have displayed the peace that surpasses all understanding. We salute you.


We live in a time of stark contrasts. Four years ago America was about to tumble into recession. Today our economy is recovering. Four years ago, 911 was just an emergency phone number. Today, it is a call to arms. For Republicans, through these changes and challenges, who we are and what we believe has never wavered.


The party of Abraham Lincoln has not wandered in a desert of disbelief or uncertainty. Led now by President Bush, this Grand Old Party is still guided by a moral compass, its roots deep in the firm soil of timeless truths. We still believe that character is king. We saw that lived out in the life of Ronald … Wilson … Reagan.


Ronald Reagan, who called an empire evil and won the Cold War.


We still believe that liberty is the birthright of every soul. That’s why in Afghanistan women were freed from virtual slavery and given access to books and education and a future. That’s why in Afghanistan and Iraq the dark clouds of oppression have parted for 50 million people. And until they can clearly see the blue skies of freedom, we are standing by them!


Yet we know our true strength is not in our weapons. We are a great nation because we are a good people. And we are a good people because of what we believe.


We believe in the dignity of every life, the possibility of every mind, the divinity of every soul. This is our true north - we believe in life. The new life of a man and woman joined together under God.


Marriage is important not because it is a convenient invention or the latest reality show — marriage is important because it is the cornerstone of civilization, and the foundation of the family. Marriage between a man and a woman isn’t something Republicans invented, but it is something Republicans will defend.


We value the sacred life of every man, woman, and child. We believe in a culture that respects all human life - including the most vulnerable in our society, the frail elderly, the infirm, and those not yet born. Protecting life isn’t something Republicans invented, but it is something Republicans will defend. We believe in the treasured life of faith.


Two thousand years ago a man said, ” … I have come to give life and to give it in full.” In America I have the freedom to call that man Lord, and I do. In the United States of America we are free to worship without discrimination, without intervention and even without activist judges trying to strip the name of God from the Pledge of Allegiance; from the money in our pockets; and from the walls of our courthouses. The Constitution guarantees freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. The right to worship God isn’t something Republicans invented, but it is something Republicans will defend.


We believe in the compassionate life of service. Our enemies in this war on terror say that America is selfish, self-centered, self-obsessed. They do not know America. As the President said, “If you want to help in the war on terror, love your neighbor. Love your neighbor.” Americans will cross town or cross the globe to help people they’ve never met and will never see again. So yes, if neighbors are hungry, we feed them; if a storm named Charley or Francis strikes, we help them. Serving others isn’t something Americans invented, but it is a calling we’ll always accept.


These are just some of the principles that guide our party. Some may call them values. Others may call them virtues. I like to think of them simply as the truths my parents and grandparents taught me. Despite what you might hear on the news, they are the shared truths of the American people. They are true from sea to shining sea - from my hometown of Salisbury, North Carolina to the South Side of Chicago, from Little Havana to Bob Dole’s Russell, Kansas, from Madison Square Garden to the Space Needle, from Crawford, Texas to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.


The last century was known as the “American Century.” In a single lifetime, I have seen Americans split the atom, abolish Jim Crow, eliminate the scourge of polio, win the Cold War, plant our flag on the surface of the moon, map the human genetic code and belatedly recognize the talents of women, minorities, the disabled and others once relegated to the shadows. We are now in the earliest years of a new century … writing another chapter in American history.


And if we reaffirm these timeless and unchangeable truths, if we choose life and liberty, compassion and service, character and faith, we will honor those who came before us, and inspire the children of tomorrow. It will be said of us that we lived in a time of great challenge, and great hopes. And let it also be said that we loved our country … and served her well … and chose leaders wisely. That is what brings us to this convention, ladies and gentlemen.


I am honored to stand with you in support of a great American: our nominee … our President … George W. Bush!

Barbara & Jenna Improv


http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/news/special_packages/election2004/9548821.htm?1c


NEW YORK - (KRT) - It was a comedy skit that was pretty risque for the Republican Party. It mentioned "Sex and the City," underage drinking and poked direct fun at the two daughters on the other side of the aisle, Vanessa and Alexandra Kerry.


Barbara and Jenna Bush, the irascible 22-year-old twins who have stuck out their tongues at reporters, gotten in trouble for drinking, and landed themselves in the tabloids during their most recent trip to New York, took center stage at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday night.

They were no shrinking violets.

"Our parents have always encouraged us to be independent and dream big," Jenna said. "We spent a lot of time at the White House so when we showed up for the first day we thought we had it all figured out, but apparently my dad already has a chief of staff named Andy."

"When your dad's a Republican and you go to Yale, you learn to stand up for yourself," Barbara said.

Looking out at the family box directly across Madison Square Garden, the girls joked that after Arnold Schwarzenegger's popular speech, in which he laughingly complained about marrying into the liberal Kennedy clan, the Bushes could never complain if one of them married a Democrat. Then they teased their beaming grandmother, the ever-proper Barbara Bush.

"We love you dearly," Jenna told the laughing former first lady. "But you're just not very hip."

They used an example from HBO.

"She thinks `Sex and the City' is something married people do but never talk about," Jenna said to even more laughter from the packed convention floor.

By contrast, the girls told the audience that their parents were at least partially on the cutting edge when it came to pop culture. They said the Bushes knew the "difference between mono and Bono." They quoted a popular rap song by the group OutKast, saying that if they really begged their parents, they could probably get the president and the first lady to "shake it like a Polaroid picture."

The political prerogative of a convention is to put a party's best foot forward and fast forward through any missteps. Instead, the Bush twins tackled their embarrassing incidents head-on.

"We spent the last four years trying to stay out of the spotlight," Jenna Bush said, alluding to her now-famous underage drinking escapades. "Sometimes we did a little better job than others."

Their speech on Tuesday in Madison Square Garden was certainly their most visible moment while visiting New York this week. But they haven't exactly been staying in their hotel rooms. While making the rounds of parties at hot Manhattan clubs, Barbara managed to land herself on the front page of a New York tabloid after a photographer caught her dancing with what has been reported as a handsome Ecuadorian playboy. Jenna, for her part, has earned her mother's description of "impulsive" after being charged with underage drinking during college and for sticking out her tongue at reporters last month.

The Republicans laughed at the sisters' routine Tuesday. How could they not? The twins may have been a little off-color, but they were charming, too.

They made fun of themselves. They mocked their politically powerful family. And they took a quick swipe at an almost-too-good-to-be-true story the Kerry daughters told at the Democratic convention about how their father had once saved a family hamster by giving it CPR.

"We had a hamster, too," Barbara said. "Let's just say ours didn't make it."

Perhaps the only line that the party faithful - particularly the grandmothers among them - couldn't take was the light-hearted dig at Barbara Bush. Even as the former first lady laughed and shook her hands in jest at her granddaughters, a little gasp could be heard from the crowd.

"Oooooh," one female delegate said to the walking woman next to her. "They're going to go to hell for that one."

It was a good speech for Arnie. Nice immigration story. There were a few times when Maria looked a little ill but what can ya do eh? You gotta support your husband.

One glaring problem in the speech....Nixon and Humphrey never debated each other....and I'm not sure if you would really want to be like Tricky Dick.

<>

Cute little catch phrase there...I'm sure no Democrats believe in accountable government (sarcasm)

<>

Tell that to the religious right, big business, the anti-gay crowd, the anti-abortion crowd etc...

<>

Sure, Democrats all want to see children fail in school. (sarcasm)

<>

Yes, let's take the simplistic approach, take that out of context and ignore the reality that half the American population are unhappy with the way Bush is running the country and it is more polarized than it's ever been since the civil war with no signs of bridging this gap in the near future. I suppose they still want to perpetuate that myth that Bush is a uniter, not a divider.

<>

That I cannot critisize at all. This is wonderful...the only thing I want to point out that if you were to look at contributions of humanitarian aid as a percentage of GNI....then America is below average in that regard

Nice tactic....make nebulous links and take credit for the sacrifices of others, even if the association is very loosely based.

A perfectly understandable mistake, given that the Republicans aren't letting anyone who actually agrees with their platform to speak in primetime. Perhaps you mistook them for moderate Dems.
