Oratory Lives!

We've mentioned Cong. Thad McCotter before. He is really, really good.

The best way to absorb oratory, of course, is by listening (go to the link.)

But here's a taste of the speech, in pixels:

...As families lose their jobs, their homes, and their dreams for their children; as our troops fight and sacrifice in foreign fields for our liberty and security, President Obama’s obsessive-compulsive pursuit of an abominable government takeover of health care has defied the public’s objections, despoiled this, “The People’s House,” and further alienated Americans from their representative government.

...Such hubris threatens not only our health care system but it tears the social fabric and political contract of our Nation. Instead of working for a more perfect Union, the President’s ideological obstinacy exacerbated the disorder and divisions within our Nation, and wrought a crisis of consent—one that puts America’s exceptional experiment in human freedom and self-government on the precipice of implosion.

Tad is good with rhetoric, but he really is a RINO. While I like to liseten, I try to keep that fact in mind - that's how so many morons fell for BO after Iowa.

Rhetoric is important, but actions matter more.
