Pataki Speaks

He thanks allof the various state delegations for the many good efforts people extended to New York. He talks about the sacrifices workers in New York did in the aftermath of September 11. I am waiting for him to make a connection that would dare imply that it was the conservatgives who did these things.

Instead, he falls into the same rhetoric we have heard for three days.

He said he'd do it, and he did, on and on!!

What about...
He said he would fund No Child Left behind... (no response?)
He said he would create jobs with a tax cut... ( no response?)
He said he would be a uniter, not a divider... ( no response?)
He said he would not create higher deficits with his tax cuts... (no response?)
He said that they would find WMD in Iraq... (no response?)
He gave us a "Blue Skies Initiative" to improve air quality... (no response?)
He promised to keep Nevada free of Nuclear waste... (no response?)
He said when he ran in 2000 that Gay marriage is an issue best left to the states..(no response?)

I could go on and on.

Here is another guy who thanks God GW Bush was president on September 11.

How he wishes the Clinton Administration had moved to protect us whe Al Queda first attacked us, and he names the events. How I wish that Clinton didn't have to work with a Republican Congress who apposed his attempts to do just that. How things might have been, and much sooner for the people of Afghanistan.

He tells us how we need to go after those who have attacked us before they can attack again. And I agree. But where is Osama? Where are the Taliban?

Instead we attacked the mayor of Bahgdad and are stuck in a quagmire that leaves our troops vulnerable abroad and our homeland less secure.
