Night One of the GOP Convention

This commentary on GOP Convention speeches from last night comes from Chuck Muth at Muth’s Truths.  Pretty good commentary in my view.

A tough balancing act faced Republicans with how to handle President Bush. Not the most popular guy in America today, or even in his own party. But the man is the sitting incumbent president. You couldn’t “dis” him and not have him speak at all, much as some may have liked. But giving him a relatively short speaking role via satellite seemed to strike the right balance. Republicans certainly treated Bush tonight better than Democrats have treated Carter for many, many years…and to this day.

* President Bush did throw a little red meat out there, telling the GOP faithful – as well as the rest of the nation watching on TV – that if his captors at the “Hanoi Hilton” couldn’t break John McCain’s resolve, the “angry left” sure won’t. Ya hear that, Michael Moore?

Speak Your Mind


This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.

Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.
