david, you are probably a "safe" vote for Gore. However, in my opinion, you are considered a fool and no one will listen to your unbalanced rhetoric. Sorry.

You are the one showing the biased, and billious, attitude. If you knew the first thing about GW, you would know that the look on his face has been the way he has smiled since childhood, which I saw, personally. There was no "frazzled" to it, and it wasn't his fault that the crowd cheered so loud and long, that he had to wait to finish a comment. What is important about emotion, and body movement. He is not supposed to be an actor, playing a lie, like clinton and gore. He is going to be the President of the United States. He's not bucking for an Oscar. Did you ever see Truman do a tap dance? He did play a lousy piano, though. Did you ever see Kennedy put on a puppet show like clinton is doing with gore?? Forget the "charisma" crap, and get real about bring some respect back to this nation. But, you don't give a tinker's damn about that, because your last sentence shows that you don't have a patriotic bone in your feeble body. If that patriotism had not flourished in the time of need, you wouldn't have a pot to pi** in, little boy. Now, run to momma and tell her some mean old man was nasty to you. ~H~

I thought that Bush spoke well, but then I was listening to him on the radio; I think he sounded better than he looked, judging from the comments I've heard. More than half of that speech could have been given by the Democratic nominee -- I guess if Clinton stole prosperity, balanced budgets, law and order and welfare reform as issues from the Republicans, they are free to steal Social Security, Medicare prescription drug coverage, education and the dividing wall between the haves and have-nots from the Democrats. Shall we call him a "New Republican?" The Republican Congress must have been locked up in the doghouse. The way he attacked Clinton -- "I will restore dignity after all the scandals and shouting" sideswiped the Republican Congress pretty well. I didn't hear anything about term limits or the evils of government in this speech, in fact, if I wasn't dreaming, I thought I heard Gov. Bush use the phrase "noble public service" somewhere in there. I think the Republicans are finally ready to stop running against the government. Gov. Bush got in some good shots at Al Gore. I thought the line "I am not running in borrowed clothes" was quite effective. That said, everything Gov. Bush said about his plans was standard pablum. Take education, for example. I'll grant that it's one of Bush's issues -- but education is funded locally in this country -- only 6% of funding comes from the Federal government. What does Bush intend to do to help poor schools once he gets to the White House? And why was there not one word in the speech about campaign finance reform? So Gov. Bush has shown that he (unlike his father) can keep the hard-right under control (he only threw them a few bones in that speech), hire a good speech writer, and give a good, slick marketing speech. He also basks in adulation quite well. So far, so good, but there's a long campaign ahead.
