Why Vote For Bush / Why Not Vote for Kerry-Boy

Let me begin by saying John Kerry never had a ghost of a chance of getting my vote. I'm old enough to remember with total clarity his shameful performance in front of the Senate. I'm married to a Vietnam Viet who remembers him better than he'd like to, and who disdains Kerry more than I do. He hasn't forgotten a single word of Kerry's testimony. The Swiftvet accusations against Kerry in Vietnam are like frosting on the cake, so to speak, illustrative of a man who has singlemindedly and obsessively pursued the idea of the Presidency for most of his adult life. So why not vote for him, aside fron the Vietnam stuff? Aside from his treasonous behavior? Aside from his deception and lies about his Vietnam testimony? Aside from the fact that he had "vets" testifying who were not vets, telling manufactured lies to further the radical cause? Aside from the fact that John Kerry is largely responsible for the tainted portrait of the crazy Vietnam vets presented by the media and Hollywood for the last 30 years? Well, how about taking a very short moment (that's all it takes) to peruse his pathetic and undistinguished record as Senator from Massachusetts, a man with virtually nothing to brag about over a 20 year stint in the Senate. What was it...5 bills put into law? And worst of all, a man who consistently voted to undermine our national defense. His record leads me to wonder if he wasn't purposefully and systematically attempting to cause America's eventual defeat and loss of power. I have to wonder about the good people of Massachsetts who keep re-electing this useless (what was his absentee record???) and arrogant dilletante. If the former Communist "evil empire" had wanted an "insider mole" to vote American policy to their own benefit, they couldn't have handpicked a better candidate than John Forbes Kerry. His voting record was that of a person who wanted to weaken America.

Why vote for President Bush? I'll admit I didn't vote for him first time around; I didn't know enough about him. I'm sorry about that now. But in the last 3+ years he has earned my honor and respect--and my enthusiastic vote this time around. The first thing I came to like about him was how straightforward he was, and how he said exactly what he would do, and then he did it. No mincing words, no waffling, no currying favor with political morons. He didn't kowtow to the French & Germans, thank goodness. So he earned my trust and admiration. In spite of the way the press and the Donks have tried to portray him as a dunce, if you read the facts (yes, those pesky facts!) about him you can see he's a very intelligent guy. I think his business degree and background are assets. I honor his National Guard service...and I know that learning to fly that plane was not child's play. So what if he wasn't in Vietnam? He could have been sent. He served. Yeah, he really was there. His service points accumulated showed he did more than required. He is guided by his faith and unabashed about it, and I prefer that to a man who exhibits politically opportunistic displays of faith. And to top it off, he is married to the wonderful Laura and he has two delightful, very typically American daughters that remind me of my own daughter. W is a rich man, but any of us could imagine ourselves lolling around and sipping a lemonade with him. He IS one of us, we can feel that.

I am confident that down the road, history will recognize honor George W. Bush as a true visionary whose positive influence on the world will be unparalleled. He will be acknowledged as one of our greatest Presidents. What he is accomplishing in Afghanistan and Iraq will eventually change the whole character and future of the Middle East, and that, in turn, will afffect the entire world. Those who lack future vision (translation: today's Kerry Democrats) simply cannot fathom the miracle that George Bush is engineering. Perhaps certain people will never grasp the magnitude of the democratic Middle East George Bush is creating and the ultimate impact of that change. John Kerry's pathetic lack of future vision is precisely why he will not be elected. I have to believe the American public is far more astute than Mr. Kerry and his crew, who when all is said and done, "just don't get it." So "hello George W, welcome back for 4 more years, and goodnight Kerry-Boy."
