One of the best rhetorical performances ever given, at a time when people didn't want to hear it.

The problem with politics is mainly that the candidates refuse to address the actual issues - one thing Bush was actually good at even if he was an evil satanic president - and just speak rhetoric... nobody has any sense any more, politics has honestly turned into a game.

Cause he was a leader and he was willing to lead unlike any of the nominees against Reagan. Carter was to honest and people don't want total honesty and Regan knew how to lead even if his ideas were backwards. I am 20 and wasn't even alive but this what my Dad has told me for years and when you look at it you know that is the fact.

I wasn't even born until 1989 but my Dad went to that convention. Sounds like a blast for sure!
