Back To Basics?
McCain Invokes (Teddy) Roosevelt and Reagan

John McCain Acceptance Speech -- September 4

"...We're going to recover the people's trust by standing up again for the values Americans admire. The party of Lincoln, Roosevelt and Reagan is going to get back to basics.
"We believe everyone has something to contribute and deserves the opportunity to reach their God-given potential from the boy whose descendants arrived on the Mayflower to the Latina daughter of migrant workers. We're all God's children and we're all Americans."
What they said....
Teddy Roosevelt: "There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation of all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities."
Ronald Reagan � Via Bill Bennett: "A Nation Without Borders Is Not A Nation"
