GILLESPIE SAYS DEMS HITTING NEW LOWS
REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN ED GILLESPIE ON SUNDAY ACCUSED DEMOCRATS OF HITTING NEW LOWS IN THE BUILDUP TO WHITE HOUSE RACE â04.(Can they dig any deeper? Of course they can.) GILLESPIE EXPLAINED ON NBCâS MEET THE PRESS: "IF YOU SAW THE DEBATE THE OTHER NIGHT WITH THE NINE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES, I THINK HISTORY WILL SHOW THIS FIELD HAS TAKEN PRESIDENTIAL DISCOURSE TO A NEW LOW. THE RHETORIC YOU HEAR, ON EITHER SIDE OF THE AISLE, RONALD REAGAN NEVER SAID JIMMY CARTER COULDNâT FIND COUNTRIES IN HIS OWN HEMISPHERE. "MONDALE NEVER SAID REAGAN WAS A MISERABLE FAILURE. WHEN BILL CLINTON RAN AGAINST GEORGE BUSH, HE DIDNâT COMPARE HIM TO SADDAM HUSSEIN OR THE TALIBAN. WHEN BOB DOLE RAN AGAINST CLINTON, HE DIDNâT SAY HE WAS A PHONY OR LIAR. THE WORDS WEâRE HEARING FROM THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES IS SO BEYOND POLITICAL DEBATE. THIS IS POLITICAL HATE SPEECH. "I THINK THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL REJECT THAT APPROACH. THEY APPRECIATE THE PRESIDENTâS STRONG AND PRINCIPLED LEADERSHIP, THAT HE HAS A POSITIVE AGENDA AND THEY HAVE NOTHING BUT NEGATIVITY AND PESSIMISM TO OFFER." (I watched this and the DNC Chairman had NO reply except a charge that Bush called McCain crazy (Not true/No proof). Even IF true the Dems have pushed the line of rhetoric to that far side of the field. I was convinced when I saw an interview with Gen (Wussy) Clark. he could not find ANYTHING that Bush had done right other than post 9/11 speech. Saddle up boys this is going to be one rough ride until the next election.) Posted by: Cyber Sarge (VRWC CA Chapter) 2003-09-08 |
