Rhetoric, Lies, and Videotape, Day One at...

the Republican National Convention.

By Anthony Wade

In my preview of the Republican National Convention I warned about the impending rhetoric that would be coming for these four days. I was unprepared for the outright lies however. Mixed throughout these, were vignettes of GW Bush, pimping his plan for America over the next four years. They of course did not address why it took him four years to come up with a plan. Lets take a look at day one.

Rhetoric

There were talking points throughout all of the speeches tonight, so much so, that it seemed that the same speechwriter wrote all of the speeches. The salient points the GOP was pushing tonight were:

We have to fight this war

The wars we have had in the past four years were necessary because of 911

Bush has not wavered or flinched

John Kerry is a dangerous flip-flopper

Steady leadership should be the core of each voter’s decision
