What irony! After Al Gore's speech, Jim Lehrer gets David Brooks to comment on the speech, and Brooks says that Al Gore's passionate speech illustrates a man who should have been himself when running for president, who shouldn't have listened to his political handlers because that is what cost him his passion and the election of 2004. This--following Gore's forceful description of John McCain's abandoning HIS honorable self for the support of the far-right and for partisanship. Gore demonstrated how John McCain will carry on the same policies of the Bush administration. He added: "Hey, I believe in recycling, but that is ridiculous."
Thank God that speakers at this convention are finally demonstrating that McCain and Obama represent two very different choices. Recent media outlets have tried to argue that the two candidates are not that different on the issues. That's hogwash!
And, finally, a speaker who raises the moral issues of torture.
