Mac's speech - more tomorrow

Highlights:

“The party of Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Reagan is going to get back to basics.”

“We believe in a government that unleashes the creativity and initiative of Americans. Government that doesn’t make your choices for you, but works to make sure you have more choices to make for yourself.” [Ed: Sounds like Reagan.]

“I will keep taxes low and cut them where I can.” [Ed: Sensible and practical not "read my lips" Bush Senior BS.]

“Senator Obama wants our schools to answer to unions and entrenched bureaucracies. I want schools to answer to parents and students.” [Ed: Nuff said.]

“I’m not running for president because I think I’m blessed with such personal greatness that history has anointed me to save our country in its hour of need.” [Ed: Unlike he whose shit doesn't stink, Oblahblah, who will turn water into wine gasoline.]

“If you’re disappointed with the mistakes of government, join its ranks and work to correct them. Run for public office.” [Ed: amen to that! Shut up or put up.]

Okay, I'll admit it: Mac is no Reagan the Great Communicator. He's not an actor who knows how to deliver lines but a tough old warhorse who knows how to fight and he's the best man for the job right now - and at least he has put his money where his mouth is most of his life - unlike - oh let me see - maybe I should shut up. Mac's the real thing.
