...an excerpt from Bay Republican Times #2

"At 9:00 sharp on Wednesday morning the Veteran Victory 2008 tour bus
pulled into Bay County Republican headquarters to a cheering crowd. Over sixty sign-waving
patriots greeted the quartet of dignitaries and were treated to a few minutes of personal chats
with the gentlemen before the program began.
The four included Captain Bob Stumpf, USN (Ret), former commander of the Blue
Angels aerial performance team and now Co-Chair of Florida Veterans for McCain+Palin,
Master Chief Bill Randall, USN (Ret), former Command Master Chief of the Great Lakes Naval
Training Station, as well as former Governor of Louisiana Buddy Roemer, and Colonel Tom
Moe, USAF (Ret), former Hanoi Hilton-mate of Senator John McCain.
Bay County REC Chairman, Ted Haney, first introduced Captain Stumpf to the delighted
faithful. Captain Stumpf told of his tour of duty in a disintegrating training command, to which
McCain was assigned shortly thereafter, and how quickly McCain’s overarching positive
presence turned it around. “Simply put, John McCain brings leadership to the table,” he
concluded.
Colonel Moe spoke briefly of their time in the infamous North Vietnamese prison, but quickly turned his address into an uplifting message of the deep integrity and unquenchable
character of Senator McCain.
“When people ask, ‘Where’s the beef?’ I tell you that there’s only one
man you can believe in. John McCain is incapable of telling a lie, and he always
puts country first!” CMC Bill Randall echoed Moe’s words, adding an encouragement to party
workers to match McCain’s honor. “We must leave the low road to others. We can
take the high road and talk about what Senator McCain and Governor Palin are
going to do for America.”
Buddy Roemer talked humorously of his wild ride with the McCain campaign
since the first days before the Iowa caucuses, but ended with an almost
benedictory praise of his good friend, “John McCain will reach across the nation,
he will reach across genders, he will reach across race and parties in order to build a coalition of responsibility for America.”
