Maybe the Republican’s will be highlighting their vaunted success in Iraq. All that freedom they created in the Middle East for less than a trillion dollars and a million lives. That’s quite an impressive feat considering todays high cost of marching freedom. Surely they can beat their chests on that issue.

Compared to the Democtratic Convention, the Republican one will look like the bar scene in Star Wars. Ugly creatures grousing about the Liberal’s and pretending everything is fine – if only we bomb everything in sight, drill anywhere we want, and stop any woman from avoiding coming to term – under any condition…
I think when the American people see the differences, they’ll get it. After Rudi says 9/11 for the 357th time in a paragraph, they might finally tire of the fear, fear, fear.
