Republicans Staying On Message for 44 Years

A short video from the Republican National Convention: gopconstrm.mov (video/quicktime Object)

Editing can make anything better or worse than it might otherwise seem. Still, this short film shows how consistent the Republican message is.

In fact, I was interested to hear a quote from 44 years ago from Richard Nixon during his debate with Kennedy in which he talked about a danger like never before from a ruthless enemy (while implying Kennedy was too soft to stand up to the threat). Of course, he meant our current friends, the Russians. There will always be enemies, which makes them such a reliable campaign tool. Fear wins votes, as Nixon showed again in ’68 & ’72. mjh
