Subject:      Moves to Help Bush

With the Republican Convention coming up in August, two conservative
columnists made suggestions as to what to do to help George Bush gain
in the polls and win in November.

The two columinsts were Cal Thomas (HI RUFUS!) and George Will, and here
is what the two advised:

Thomas:(HI RUFUS!)

1) Show the flags and representativesof nations no longer under communism
during the Reagan/Bush administration.

2) Crediting workers from defenseindustries who countered the Soviets.

3) Remind that most Democrats opposed peace-through-strength under Ronald
Reagan which defeat communism.

4) Invite Gianna Jessen to speak. (She was a late term fetus who survived
a late-term abortion).

5) Invite Lee Ezell to speak. (a woman raped in 1962 who had her child)

6) Invite pro-life Democrats to speak as the Demos invited pro-abortion Reps.

7) Invite parents who have adopted unplanned pregnancy children to speak.

8) Invite black Reps. who own smallbusinesses they started during R/B years
because taxes were lowered and incentives increased.

9) Have these businessmen take on black liberal Demos and the welfare mess.(
critizism would be fair here as to why Bush went along with liberal policies
from the House, this will probably be analyzed by media people before each
convention like the Demos were)

10) Feature companies that promotegrowth along with environmental growth
along with enviornmental responsibility instead of eliminating jobs because
responsibility instead of eliminating of EPA policies.  (NASA in Houston
and Florida as featured on 'Nature' is a good example)

11) Invite scientist(S) & other enviornmental experts who disagree with Gore
and give their assumptions and conclusions.

12) Invite former homosexuals to speak of their former lifestyle and why they
left.

13) Also invite someone with AIDS to speak and how they got the virus.

14) Continue the Quayle attack on Hollywood.  (this would be good in light
of the recent Newsweek poll on Hollywood and country.)

15) Attack MTV and Clinton's use, Ice-T lyrics, and invite police to speak
about 'Cop Killer, 'KKKB___h' and others.

Will says:

1) Sign an executive order indexing capital gains. This could start a econ-
omic activity.

2) Fire Treasury Sec. Brady and replace him with Jack Kemp, tell Kemp to
end the credit crunch with is primary reason for economy's slowness.

3) Replace Richard Darman, head of Office of Management and Budget, with
Minnesota Rep. Vin Weber. (Which I disagree with because he is the one
who caused Bush to break his 'No-new-taxes' promise which means he agreed
with the liberal Democratic Congress who create more taxes.)

4) And George Will says replace Quayle, but not as Carter's personnel
changes in the summer of 1979 caused so much instability.  "Therefore
Quayle's replacement must be so exciting that he becomes the topic of
conversation." - Will   He suggests Colin Powell which would be good
being recently part of a military operation, and statisfing voters who
delighted in the pro-military Reagan era.

"Colin Powell would be good for the country and would scramble the political
equation, perhaps for a generation." - Will  This could checkmate Gore.

My suggestions:

1)
That's the two columists suggestions.  As an added incentive they should
let Reagan give a keynote address and have him tell of his battle with
the Democratics in Congress during his administration.  He would perhaps
get ex-Perot supporters interested in the Republican Party again.

2)
An attack on Iraq now would be a boost to the country's moral and timed
well just before the convention.  This would show Bush as giving Iraq time
to show the UN inspectors all the facilities, and show Bush as being patient
with Saddam.  (And now with Clinton's blessing just announced) should follow
through on the 10 day ultimatum.

3)
Display the home video shown last night (Wednesday) of Ice-T openly stating
to kill cops.  This would be good during the speech of the police officers.

Of course, there will be those who criticise these suggestions, but that is
all they are, suggestions.  But if you have 'positive' suggestions to add
that is fine too.  (I am sure there will be enough criticism to fill Madison
Square Garden.)  So be it.

"Democrats who feel strongly about the rights of the unborn children have only
two other choices, not to vote at all or to vote for the Republican candidate."
That's where many of them went in 1980, in 1984 and in 1988.  And that's where
they'll go this year unless the party listens to its Caseys."

"These are difficult times for Casey.  He is a man who loves the Democratic
Party.  He is a two-term governor who won the last time out with 68% of the
vote and won every county.  Yet at this (DNC) convention, in a pique of poli-
tical correctness, organizers shunted him and the Pennsylvannia delegation
to a remote corner of Madison Square Garden because he has the courage to
speak against abortion....until it somehow reconciles itself with so many
lifetime Democrats who cannot support the Democratic platform on the
abortion issue, the party will not have a president in the White House."
