Republican Message – President Bush’s Resolve

I guess some people are getting it! The hubbub about moderate speakers at the Republican National Convention and the innuendos from liberals that the Republicans are attempting to “put up a more moderate front” got a hard right cross last night. In his LA Times, analysis Ronald Brownstein noticed the true message:

When former New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) were named to headline the Republican National Convention's opening night, most analysts in both parties took it as evidence that President Bush's campaign wanted the gathering to project a message of moderation.

But in their speeches Monday night, Giuliani and McCain signaled that the real mission for the Bush campaign this week was to send a message of strength.

The message that Republicans are attempting to relay, as I see it, is that they are unified on the biggest issue facing America and people that have different opinions about social issues can still be UNIFIED! This contrast the Democrats’ message “you are either totally with us or totally against us” – the Republicans demonstrate they are a party of inclusion where the Democrats are a party of exclusion!
