GOP 2004 vs. Dems 2012
Dick Cheney at the RNC, 2004.
Quote: "As in other times, we are in a war we did not start, and have no choice but to win.
(APPLAUSE)
"Firm in our resolve, focused on our mission, and led by a superb commander-in-chief, we will prevail.
(APPLAUSE)
"The fanatics who killed some 3,000 of our fellow Americans may have thought they could attack us with impunity, because terrorists had done so previously.
"But if the killers of September 11 thought we had lost the will to defend our freedom, they did not know America, and they did not know George W Bush.
(APPLAUSE)
"From the beginning, the president made clear that the terrorists would be dealt with and that anyone who supports, protects or harbors them would be held to account.
(APPLAUSE)
"President Bush does not deal in empty threats and half measures. And his determination has sent a clear message …
"Even in this post 9/11 period, Senator Kerry doesn't appear to understand how the world has changed. He talks about leading a 'more sensitive war on terror' …
(LAUGHTER)
" … as though al-Qaida will be impressed with our softer side.
(LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE)
"He declared at the Democratic convention that he will forcefully defend America after we have been attacked. My fellow Americans, we have already been attacked …"
(APPLAUSE)
[AUDIENCE:] "USA. USA. USA."
[CHENEY:] "But as the President has made very clear, there is a difference between leading a coalition of many nations and submitting to the objections of a few.
(APPLAUSE)
"George W Bush will never seek a permission slip to defend the American people."
(APPLAUSE)
[AUDIENCE:] "USA. USA. USA."
John Kerry at the DNC, 2012
Quote: And let me say – let me say something else – let me say something else, no nominee for president should ever fail in the midst of a war to pay tribute to our troops overseas in his acceptance speech.
(APPLAUSE)
"Mitt Romney – Mitt Romney was talking about America. They are on the front lines every day defending America and they deserve our thanks."
(APPLAUSE)
[AUDIENCE:] "USA! USA! USA!"
Quote: "And after more than – after more than 10 years without justice for thousands of Americans murdered on 9/11, after Mitt Romney said it would be naive to go into Pakistan to pursue the terrorists, it took President Obama, against the advice of many, to give that order and finally rid this earth of Osama bin Laden.
(APPLAUSE)
"Ask Osama bin Laden is he is better-off now than he was four years ago."
(APPLAUSE)
And it looks like Joe may have plagiarized again:
Quote:And he also knew – he also knew the message we had to send around the world: if you attack innocent Americans, we will follow you to the end of the earth.
(CHEERS, APPLAUSE.)
"Look …"
[AUDIENCE:] "USA! USA! USA! USA!"
Democrats parade Osama bin Laden's corpse as their proudest achievement

Aren't you pleased that the al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden is dead? That's a victory for America, and President Obama was the man who saw it happen.

If that's all you have to go on, you're not in a very good shape. Hell, trudging out Jimmah f'n Cahtah wasn't a good idea either, IMO.

He's also the man who has given support to AQ rebel fighters in Libya and Syria. Conflicted much? Plus, his drone campaign in Yemen has contributed to major growth in AQ's presence there, fueled by anti-American sentiment.

I certainly am. I give President Obama a lot of credit for getting this done. As Commander-in-Chief he should get the credit. However, I can't think of one other thing he has done in the last 4 years that would make me think he deserves another 4. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

I was disappointed that they didn't carry his head around the arena on a stick. Anyway 2016.
