The confident veteran attacks !


From  my FB notes archive , " Covering the Republican Con. and the McCain-Palin campaign " September '08 


'' When I was five years old, a car pulled up in front of our house in New London, Connecticut, and a Navy officer rolled down the window, and shouted at my father that the Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor. My father immediately left for the submarine base where he was stationed. I rarely saw him again for four years. My grandfather, who commanded the fast carrier task force under Admiral Halsey, came home from the war exhausted from the burdens he had borne, and died the next day. In Vietnam, where I formed the closest friendships of my life, some of those friends never came home to the country they loved so well. I detest war. It might not be the worst thing to befall human beings, but it is wretched beyond all description ''
Those were the words that sinator John McCain chose to begin his speech in the Republican Con. with and it's so clear that those words were chosen carefully for a dramatic strong beginning of his last speech that took him a big jump forward .
Playing on the chords of American Patriotism , McCain started his speech showing off with his own heroic record of patriotism and loyality to mother America starting from the heroic family roots with a grandfather and a father serving in the World War II , passing through his own record in Vietnam including being captured in the Northern Vietnamese capital for more than five years & ending with his honest role as a successful active republican sinator .
" I am an idealist '' , Said McCain in his speech in a good try to show the Americans that they wont regret voting for a republican conservative veteran with a record like his , and to tell the truth , Americans are emotional those days like they never were before !
President Harry Truman once said of America, "God has created us and brought us to our present position of power and strength for some great purpose " , and relying on this quote and also relying on the prosperous past during the cold war , Sinator John McCain wont surrender and wont hesitate to direct a strike after strike on America's so called enemies .
And in a quick smart step during his speech , sinator John McCain began to make short comparison between him and his opponent Sinator Barack Obama of the Illinois in the most few vital points Americans do care for :
1) Tax : '' I promise to decrease taxes while my opponent tends to increase them to cover the leakage in our financial systems '' , he said
2) Education : He promised to give the bigger rights to father and society to choose the material their sons will be taught at school , while his opponent promised to give those rights for well qualified teachers and civil educational parties and organizations
3) War : As a veteran , McCain can never ever admit a defeat , so he mentioned he won't hesitate to destroy the surrounding enemies of the ''good'' American nation , and our sons will be back home soon ( without mentioning when exactly will that ''soon'' come ) after celebrating huge victories of democracy and idealism in Iraq and Afghanistan.
4) Separate social issues : promised to find solutions for some rising social problems in America , like that of homeless people who were kicked out of their homes becuase of high interest bank loans , also the problem of '' Crime'' in states like NewYork , New south Wales and Indiana .
I'm almost done ! but i want to write few separate notes that worth writing and then attaching the most important quotes I found while watching his speech ;
I-Choosing Sarah Palin of Alaska as a female youth vice president was a smart huge jump for the republicans after pushing some youthful leadership forward and shared Obama what he though is his biggest advantage and his exclusive right , which strengthened the sitiuation of the republicans in an important time
II-An imotional speech is what both the Americans voters and the republicans need at this time ,and that's what McCain gave them. It was smart i admit !
Finally , I wanna say that I don't prefer McCain , I also don't prefer Obama but that last Republican Con. was a good shot for the republicans and it was perfectly planned and organized ! It attracted me! and it worthed staying up till 6:00 am to watch it!
III- The slogans of the Con. like : Country First , Reform , Prosperity & Peace
( Notice the order of words! )

Now here are the quotes that attracted me in his speech and luckily I could find a link that gets you directly to the full speech Written! , http://www.johnmccain.com/Informing/News/Speeches/872473dd-9ccb-4ab4-9d0d-ec54f0e7a497.htm

AND HERE ARE THE QUOTES THAT ATTRACTED ME IN THE SPEECH :

* "Today we are not alone. There is the powerful collective voice of the European Union, and there are the great nations of India and Japan, Australia and Brazil, South Korea and South Africa, Turkey and Israel "
* " Relations with our southern neighbors must be governed by mutual respect, not by an imperial impulse or by anti-American demagoguery "
* " China and the United States are not destined to be adversaries "
* " For decades in the greater Middle East, we had a strategy of relying on autocrats to provide order and stability. We relied on the Shah of Iran, the autocratic rulers of Egypt, the generals of Pakistan, the Saudi royal family, and even, for a time, on Saddam Hussein!!!! "
* " I run for President because I know it is incumbent on America, more than any other nation on earth, to lead in building the foundations for a stable and enduring peace, a peace built on the strength of our commitment to it, on the transformative ideals on which we were founded, on our ability to see around the corner of history, and on our courage and wisdom to make hard choices. I run because I believe, as strongly as I ever have, that it is within our power to make in our time another, better world than we inherited.

Thank you. "
