Rhettorical

The rantings, views and commentary of a right-winged criminal justice student on current events, politics, law, and even life. The goal of this blog is to allow the writer to vent on articles and experiences that make him angry and to open up discussions in a hostile atmosphere. So please sit back and relax as I convert you to the dark side.

RNC

I know its a sucky CNN article but its tone and coverage sure is interesting.

Zen Miller: "No one should dare to even think about being the commander in chief of this country if he doesn't believe with all his heart that our soldiers are liberators abroad and defenders of freedom at home," Miller said.

Listing a half dozen of the weapons programs he said Democratic nominee John Kerry voted against during his Senate tenure, Miller asked, "This is the man who wants to be the commander in chief of our U.S. Armed Forces? U.S. forces armed with what? Spitballs?" Miller asked. "Twenty years of votes can tell you much more about a man than 20 weeks of campaign rhetoric."

Pretty interesting that they state that in the media, but perhaps it is because Fox is beating out all news networks when it comes to ratings.

The next big positive is the democratic rebuttal.

Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe called the convention "a masquerade ball."
"The people up there don't represent the platform of the Republican Party. The platform that they adopted on Monday is so far right, so extreme, out of the mainstream of America, and yet they put on these speakers," McAuliffe said Wednesday on CNN's "American Morning."
"Not one of these speakers would or could be appointed a federal judge by George Bush because they are not where George Bush is on all these different issues."


It seems a bit weak to me, even for democrats. I think they were to blown away from Miller and Cheney's speeches to say anything worth noting.
