It's Official: The GOP is Anti-Hope

Maryland Lt. Governor Michael Steele, the GOP-token african-american speaker, had this to say last night at the RNC:

"We heard one word over and over again at the Democratic Convention: Hope.

But there is a problem, my friends: Hope is not a strategy. Hope doesn't protect you from terrorists, hope doesn't lower your taxes, hope doesn't help you buy a home, and hope doesn't ensure quality education for your kids."

So there you have it, the party of anti-hope. Tonight I hear the GOP will assault "joy" and Thursday it may be "pursuit of happiness."
