Remember his "old west, wanted dead or alive" poster comment? This I thought came off very stiff, and too obvious. That's the kind of statement you have to say like you mean it, or not say at all. I was behind the idea, but the statement didn't "bring me in".

Very little if anything in Bush's planned speeches are "off the cuff". You can see that by the way he keeps using the same phrases over and over. I tend to dislike it because phrases like "get him dead or alive", "smoke'em out of their holes", "they are evildoers", "bring them to justice", and others become little more than catch phrases. I'd like hear something different so that it least it sounds legit and real.
