“When it comes to political rhetoric, we’ve got to go to school on this guy, this eloquent Mr. President. He’s taking about style, saying he will argue with “passion and conviction”, while still extending a “presumption of good faith” through “fair-minded words.” We need to do that. We need to sound like that.”
“Meanwhile, the Right would still be represented by (let’s be honest now) shrill, antagonistic, accusatory, and sometimes downright snarling Savages and grating Great Ones.”
Two quotes from this post caused me to shake my head sadly.
There are pro-life Republicans who DO sound like that–with the advantage that they ALWAYS have sounded like that through long and successful careers in politics and public service. They haven’t,to grossly understate, been treated very well by the party. Again, we need Huckabee, Palin, Ron Paul, and a whole bunch of other leaders to form a conservative party. I think we are ready.
I’m so happy Jim Kearney was able to enjoy a warm fuzzy moment during the president’s speech. Have a nice day.
