The Republican National Convention (Days 3 and 4)

The final two days of the convention were in my opinion a grand slam for all those Americans out there who would put their country before their party. I think we can all say that George Washington was right to think that parties would be intolerable. John McCain and Sarah Palin have shown us that after they are in office, America will be closer to the true image that George Washington had in mind as he watched Thomas Jefferson and John Adams beginning to divide the country. Here is a recap of the last two nights of the convention.

DAY 3
In case you missed any of this day's convention here are a few clips:

Here's the Roll Call vote which gave McCain enough delegates in order to be officially nominated the next day.



This next clip is Mitt Romney's scathing attacks on the liberal left.



Here we have Mike Huckabee's down to earth speech talking about American values and his support for John McCain.



Next we have Rudy Giuliani's speech which ran about 25 minutes as the keynote address at the Republican Convention.



And now we have the biggest speech of the night, Sarah Palin's acceptance of the Vice Presidency.



As you can see, Day 3 was action packed with a barrage of speakers from all points of view of our great party. The next day would prove essential to get a Convention bump and keep the polls tight until election time.

DAY 4
This was the final day of the Convention with John McCain's acceptance of his party's nomination for president of the U.S.

I guess CNN determined McCain's speech to be so good that they broke it up into two parts. Here we have John McCain's 2-Part acceptance speech.





As we have just seen, the Republican party is the party of "country first" where Obama has shown us that his campaign is all about party and not about the entire country. The last I heard this is the United States of America not the Democratic Party of the United States. Country should always come first, especially in the case of the presidency of the United States.
