 The Sesame Street
Convention
By Michael Reagan
CONTINUED
Noted for her tendency to be
less than genteel - she recently told a reporter to "shove
it," - Mrs. Kerry was all sweetness and light and as dull
as a cake knife. If the convention officials thought that by
confronting the voters with a sanitized version of this spitfire
they could clean up her image and make her look like little Mary
Sunshine they were wrong. It would take a lot more than that
to remake her image. They should have kept her under wraps instead
of parading her before the voters.
They should have also realized
that Americans want their first ladies to be well ladies. They
want the president's wife to be in the same mold as Jackie Kennedy,
or Nancy Reagan or Laura Bush, none of whom would ever have told
anybody to "shove it." The voters are not looking for
a modern version of Tugboat Annie, even if she's worth a billion
dollars.
The main reason Barack Obama,
the keynote speaker was so widely acclaimed is due to the fact
that the people who came on before and after him were just flat-out
boring.
Obama's main theme that
there is only one America and we're all a part of it - is just
plain deceptive once you realize that the Democrat idea of oneness
is not most Americans' idea.
His party believes in one America
only if it is their America and that America is a socialist America.
Let's look at who is supporting
John Kerry. The U.S. Communist and Socialist Parties and the
head of the communist Sandinistas in Nicaragua, for example.
If you cast your vote for John Kerry these are the people who
you'll be joining.
Is that the one America the American
people want? The day after the election do they want to wake
up realizing that they were on the same side as the Communists
and the Sandinistas who brutalized Nicaragua before they got
thrown out?
The convention would have been
better if the Democrats had shown their real selves and engaged
in shouting and screaming and shaking their clenched fists as
is their usual practice, instead of trying to look like a bunch
of loveable pussycats who won't really tax you down to your last
dollar or surrender our sovereignty to France and Germany as
soon as they get to the White House.
Mike Reagan, the eldest son of
the late President Ronald Reagan, is heard on more than 200 talk
radio stations nationally as part of the Radio America Network.
