Post transcript):<BR/><BR/><I>Look, we're in a sour time. I readily admit it. <BR/><BR/>I mean, being in the middle of a war where people turn on their television sets and see brave men and women dying is not something that makes people happy and optimistic and upbeat. <BR/><BR/>ROVE: But I'm absolutely confident that -- I heard this same kind of language about the 2004 elections in roughly the March, April, May, June period of June 2004. <BR/><BR/>We're going to be just fine in the fall elections. <BR/><BR/>And we're going to be fine because we stand for things that are important. We stand for strong natural defense abroad and complete victory in the war on terrorism which involves victory in Iraq. <BR/><BR/>We stand for a strong national defense. We stand for economic policies that are pro-growth, involving tax cuts and free trade. We are strongly for fiscal restraint in the budget process. <BR/><BR/>And our opponents, at this point, stand for little or nothing, except mere obstructionism. Whether it is the nomination of superbly qualified men and women to the judiciary, or our policies to reauthorize the Patriot Act to keep America safe in a time of global terror, the other party seems to stand for little except obstructionism. <BR/><BR/>And ultimately, the American people are a center-right country, who, presented with a center-right party with center-right candidates, will vote center-right. </I>Mike's Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262938295909490454noreply@blogger.com
