In total command

On Wednesday night, in the third and final debate of this election year, President Bush proved that he is in total command. He's in total command of his armed forces, for example. I heard that an estimated eight of 10 service personnel are going to vote for him this year. Outstanding. It's funny that Kerry talks about General Shinsucky or whoever. Bottom line: General Tommy Franks was in charge of Afghanistan, the first prong in the war on terror, and he supports Bush 100%, and has even been on the campaign trail for him.

George W. Bush also is in total command of his policies. He spoke with conviction about his vision for an ownership society on Wednesday night. He has a vision for how the educational system should evolve. He has a vision for bringing moral values back into the forefront in an effort to strengthen the fabric of our society. Agree or disagree, love him or hate him, you cannot dispute the fact that George W. Bush is in total command of his presidency. He has a vision and he sticks to it, regardless of what polls and public opinion say. And remember liberals, half the country agrees with him so he's not a failure. He's a president in total command of his presidency. While more than half of likely voters who plan to vote for Kerry say they're voting for him out of spite for Bush, nearly 90% of those who say they plan to vote for Bush plan to do so because they respect and admire him, agree with his policies, and want him to continue leading our country.

Bush also proved he is in total command of his grammar, which is contrary to popular belief. Some of this perception has been fostered by Bush himself. His slip-ups, after all, have been his own fault. However, contrary to what the donks like to say, Bush is not an idiot with the speaking skills of a drunk monkey. I believe he is a victim of "thinking ahead." He is so very eloquent on the stump when he's relaxed and enjoying himself. He was strong in the second and third debates when Rove and Hughes turned him loose. And last night, in the third debate, he made a statement that really stunned me: "We will (hunt) the enemy wherever it hides." That really got my attention. Enemy in this context is a singular noun. Thus, "it" hides, as opposed to "they" hide. Bush got it right ... a very common grammatical error you see time and time again, even in print media.

Bush is not a victim of idiocy. Maybe he's a victim of his own commanding, visionary nature. He thinks faster than he talks. Kerry on the other hand, talks as fast as the polls change.
