You don't protect Israel and deter Iran just by talking tough in Washington. You can't truly stand up for Georgia when you've strained our oldest alliances.<BR/><BR/>And:<BR/><BR/>We are the party of Roosevelt. We are the party of Kennedy. So don't tell me that Democrats won't defend this country. Don't tell me that Democrats won't keep us safe.<BR/>----------<BR/>I was impressed. Obama has grown on me. McCain looked like a cadaver til Palin showed up and he was reanimated. Is that weird?Betsy Davenporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11332334981838727413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188674.post-58965677505390199022008-08-30T16:13:00.000-04:002008-08-30T16:13:00.000-04:00Very exciting.

I was too "elsewhere" to listen to the commentary. Instead I began blogging to try to understand where I was. I finished just in time to watch the rebroadcast of Stewart and Colbert from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. (loved the Lion King bio, Jon!) and finally fell asleep to the rebroadcast of the TV pundits. It sure seemed to me that those hard-bitten, cynical reporters had been reached!<BR/><BR/>Some years ago, at an event at Riverside Church, I got a button that read, "Let Justice Roll." I dug it out and put it on today. I'll be wearing it from now on.<BR/><BR/>It's not the same world it was yesterday. It's better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
