This election should be about issues not back slapping. I hope each of you participating today will check the record for yourself and spread the word. Talking to our friends and neighbors about the real record of George Bush is important. And I don't ask you to take my word for it. Do some research for yourself, and you'll see I'm telling you the truth.
People have a right to protest peacefully.
I am saddened to see violent fights at anyone's convention. You mentioned that Gov. Bush would have the thinnest resume' of any president. Jimmy Carter had a noble career as a Navy officer, then distinguished himself as a Georgia legislator, then as an extraordinarily successful two-term governor. Additionally, Jimmy Carter earned high marks prior to becoming president as a private sector attorney. By the way, remember there's 18 months of Bush's military career that he can't answer for.
