Thompson and Lieberman Deliver Barn Burners
President Bush:
"If the Hanoi Hilton couldn’t break him, the angry left never will."
"John McCain is not afraid to tell you when he disagrees with you.
Believe me, I know!"
Fred Thompson:
"God Bless America and God Bless John McCain!"

Joe Lieberman:
"Country Matters More Than Party!"
"God Only Made One John McCain and He is His Own Man."
"If John McCain Is Just Another Republican,
Then I am Michael Moore’s Favorite Democrat."
"Barack Obama, in three years in the United States Senate, has never reached across the aisle to accomplish anything significant."
"John McCain will be a President
our allies will trust and our enemies will fear."

The GOP convention started with some touching tributes to Presidents Reagan and Bush I. Our beloved First Lady graced us with some self-described "Straight Talk" giving touching remarks about John McCain and pointing out her husband’s many and seldom heard, even here, accomplishments these past eight years.
President Bush gave a great speech via satellite from The White House. Our President spoke touching words to his parents and spoke convincingly of John McCain. He went on to say of McCain, President Bush began the process of passing the torch from the Bush Family to the McCain’s–if they win.

Fred Thompson gave an inspiring, barn burner of a speech. Thompson said, "We need a President whose doesn’t think protecting the unborn is not above his pay grade." Thompson also got cheers for his defense of Sarah Palin in view of her being ridiculed for not being a Sunday talk show regular and Washington cocktail party hound. I agree with him. My criticisms of her are not about her being a Washington outsider.
Joe Lieberman gave a credibly incredible speech. I don’t think Republicans appreciate the hits he has taken to stand up for President Bush and now John McCain. His speech and Thompson’s, along with President and Mrs. Bush, were candidate based not party based. An ad lib addition to Lieberman’s speech were his subtle remarks that McCain will do better than Bush in dealing with other countries.
It was a great night.
