We're gonna need a wooden stake - this might do

During two of the 2000 stump speeches, Gov Bush said the most evil phrase I’ve ever heard:

“the main difference between me and my opponent is he believes in the federal government, we don’t”

These words and image are burned into my brain. I can still hear the syncopation, see him sashay across the platform, and then stop and proudly saunter back while the crowd goes absolutely wild. It’s a mini-climax in the speech.

Here’s what I propose we do. We run that clip and then ask:

Mr President, do you even know the name of the federal government?


That's it. We make him answer that one question.

When the hand waving and finger pointing starts, and it will, this might get through. I think it may shock the CM into listening.

The stump speeches were consecutive, I think Oct 27 and 29 real close to the end (tough campaign for him against Gore) and he was really letting his hair down. Then somebody reeled him back in. I remember looking for them on CSPAN archive but these two are missing.

They would have to come from another source. Also, I distinctly remember John McCain and Colin Powell on the dais. In the Midwest, Missouri may be. Can the tapes be found?

I swear that’s what he said, he said it twice.

(If found, I know the tapes are hard to listen to so I apologize in advance)

I gotta go - chew on it for a while. I'll try to get back tonight.

P.S. We need both tapes so when they say he just mispoke we have the other. Must have both. With the crowd cheering.
