The Ministry of Truth Called

I watched the convention last night and heard the same ol' party platform accept they've thrown the word maverick in there. Here's what all the speeches I heard sounded like to me:

Fine young men and women serving this wonderful country, God, maverick, 9-11, drill for more oil, maverick, terrorists, tax relief, fine military, maverick, family values, surge, maverick, defend America.

Just because you throw the word maverick in there 400 bajillion times it doesn't make it a new platform or different ideas, these are traditional Republican ideals that McCain is trying to uphold while speaking to his base voters. Do we still require kids to read 1984 in school?

what i couldn't believe was the issues they were toting, are the very issues their party is guilty of.
to me, there's a great lack of thought in the rebublican party. if they would just LISTEN to the rhetoric being spewed, they would realize they're the ones responsible for what they're criticizing.
also, honestly, when i looked in the eyes of the people in the audience, they all looked glazed over. their response was glazed over as well, i thought.
i really think the republican party's mantra should be "me first." that is, after all, what they really stand for.
