Republican Convention

1) some great comments by Arizona Senator John McCain

Our choice wasn't between a benign status quo and the bloodshed of war. It was between war and a graver threat. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Not our critics abroad. Not our political opponents. And certainly not a disingenuous film maker who would have us believe that Saddam's Iraq was an oasis of peace when in fact it was a place of indescribable cruelty, torture chambers, mass graves and prisons that destroyed the lives of the small children held inside their walls. Whether or not Saddam possessed the terrible weapons he once had and used, freed from international pressure and the threat of military action, he would have acquired them again

.2) Arnold again used the "girlie men" comment in reffering to Democrats. I admit, it was funny to hear Arnold say "dont be economic girlie men". But the feminists do have a point in saying that the "girlie men" comments gives the image that women are weak and therefore, weak men are "girlie men". Maybe next time, Arnold can call his opponents "cowards" and "whiners"!
