Tom Ridge Sums Up The McCain Platform

Well, that's the end of the Republican National Convention. Quite a night! Quite a message! That's a lot to absorb, but let's let Tom Ridge summarize the big takeaway from four days of McCain's coronation.

[WATCH.]

TOM BROKAW: But the fact is, governor, that you have had eight years of a bush administration and a lot of Republicans in Congress for the last eight years, so why wouldn't the american people say, look they had their shot we're going to change?

TOM RIDGE: Because John Bush - because John McCain is very much his own man...

Hear that? John BUSH. Bet all you people calling him "John McSame" feel pretty stupid now! FOUR MORE YEARS!

It's these special moments you cherish.

I think Gov. Ridge was doing a payback for McCain thanking "John" Ridge last Saturday for his introductory remarks at a campaign stop in Washington, Pa. The poor crowd didn't clap because they didn't know who John Ridge was....surely McCain wouldn't forget the name of his good friend Tom Ridge.

Senator Obama should be gracious when he thanks Tom Ridge for his support.

I wonder how much he raised last night.

BARACK OBAMA ------ This is a golden opportunity. Use this clip in your ad against McCain. GO GO GO. GET THIS CLIP. ARE YOU LISTENING, BARACK??????????????????

There you have it folks John Bu sh, even people in his own party are calling him that because there is really no difference between the two. He claims that he wants change but exactly what change do we have when we continue to get lip service about reducing our dependence on foreign oil? Did he outline anything in his speech last night? No, just empty rhetoric and bravado.

oh snap, this from Bulldog Ridge.

Pretty much McBush! There is no difference and we cannot afford four more years of failed policies.

first sarah pawlenty. now john bush. i think the take away here is you cannot tell ANY of these antidulluvian bronze age thinking republicans apart. they are called conservatives for a reason they are the agents of stagnation. democrats are called progressives for a reason. they are the agents of change.

The Republican Party is getting Alzheimer's, aging, and dying. Rest In Peace!

[WhoIsJohnGalt42]

we couldn't have said it better ourselves. now this is a viral video that needs to spread. maybe john bush will see it on the googles.

[IowaKid]

He had it right the first time John Bush...... Palin's husband a union worker that works for BP.

We will effectively have 2 more oil people in the White House. Big oil sees the writing on the wall, they know that an Obama presidency will mean a shift away from big oil.

[JackLivigni]

Haaa..... Now that should be made into a TV ad!!!

[kfdan]

Let's see that would be Jeb Bush as the left leg and George Bush Jr. as the right leg and John Bush as the limp leg ... !

[grf67]

Have we identified one honest man in the republican party?

[filo]

NAAAH ! These are republicans were talking about !

[jollyelle]

Ridge looked like even he was about to burst into laughter...........good one, Tom!

[Scott3843]

Agreed. His gaffe almost seemed intentional, too.
