It’s a BIG day in Florida. It’s a really big day for Mitt Romney….for his family, his campaign, and his supporters. It’s a big day for talk radio, for the Republican party and the Conservative Movement.
I’ve been web surfing off and on since about 5 a.m. looking for something that is suitable, and more importantly, unique, to post up as we await election results later this evening. Everyone has the polls, the “Winner Take All” articles, the sound bites, and the play by plays of the last few days…..I was looking for something a little different.
And then, I happened across this video. Sure, it’s a bit hokey, but that’s not what hit me when I watched it. What hit me was that it was a genuine effort and labor of inspiration that can only be produced when one is moved. As I have personally experienced while listening to Governor Romney speak, he is more than capable of such inspiration. Mitt Romney’s Faith in America Address was definitely one of those times. Actually, I don’t recall being moved by a politician prior to that, since George W. Bush’s Remarks at National Day of Prayer and Remembrance at the National Cathedral after 9-11, when he actually moved the entire world that day. The words ” And the commitment of our fathers is now the calling of our time” are words that I will forever associate with the legacy of George W. Bush. It has been a long and tumultuous period between that day and this. It’s about time, that we as a people, found someone to inspire us again, and Mitt Romney has the ability to spark and then ignite those embers.
I’ll drop the post now, as it’s getting late in election day, and before you know it, we’ll all be sharing the results from Florida. In the meantime, I’ll leave you with this…..for I know from what place in his heart the composer of this song found the words and the inspiration to make it….. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Thank you Lon Gibson, for sharing it with us.
GO MITT!
A very brief review of the debate last night:
The format was choppy, and the questions throughout the evening were posed in a way that made it all too easy for the candidates to respond in the negative, blaming our country, belittling our president and faulting their party. Most of the candidates fell into that trap, some worse than others, and the negative tones created a not so pretty picture overall.
Thankfully, Governor Romney rose above that with a clear mission; to acknowledge the problems, but to project the positives. His theme, woven into extremely informative answers was one of optimism, solutions and visions for the future of this great country. He came off as a man with a plan, a man with strength of faith, and a man that is not willing to delve into the bitterness of personal politics.
This video wraps it all up nicely. Enjoy!
