Hugh Hewitt asks "Why vote for Bush and What's Wrong With Kerry?"
I'll leave it to others to tackle the second half of that question as they do so ably at the many links off Hugh's site.
The polls are open in California and after I finish this item, I'm going down to the Albertson's Supermarket across from the beach here in Laguna Beach and cast my ballot. It will be the first time I've ever voted for a Republican ticket in a National Election.
Before this, I voted Democrat right down the line. But I was asleep and I was foolish. Now, at least I can say I'm awake.
It's not that I'm overjoyed with George Bush (although at least one of my friends cannot be convinced otherwise), nor that I think the Republican Party is overwhelmingly admirable. None of that. It's never easy to vote when the only viable choices are two, but that's the deal right now. And my job today as a citizen is to choose. So I will choose George W. Bush.
There are many reasons why, but here's 50.
That our soldiers like this keep flying and they come home soon with honor.
That this hero will not have died in vain, and that our victory means a birth of freedom for Iraq.
That men like this are hunted to the ends of the Earth and destroyed.
That those who would do this to children and the innocent are utterly defeated.
That the mass graves vanish never to reappear, and that the animals are given swift and certain justice.
That our soldiers fight with valor and that biotoxins are kept from our land.
That quislings are shown in their true colors, and the carnage of war kept from our shores.
That the cowardice of kidnappers and hate-merchants be brought to a swift end.
That the cowardly killings in Spain are answered even though that country lacks the courage to answer them itself.
That even though many in Spain died in vain, none of our soldiers will.
That the American Flag will be seen around the world as it truly is -- the harbinger of freedom and the last, best hope of Earth.
That the secret assassins of tyranny continue to fall before the secret soldiers of Democracy.
That children may grow up knowing that soldiers came from far away, and gave their lives so that they could be free.
That evil is consumed unto ash, while the good rise up on the prayers of comrades.
That those who order the murder of children be exposed as the butchers they are.
That the creatures who would do this to an American or to any human be removed from the future of the world by any means necessary.
That the body bags of Beslan are never seen in Baltimore.
That the killers of babies are sent to the Pit.
That corrupt institutions are expunged from our soil, ..... and that... this,
... and this, ... and this,
... and this, ... and this,
... and this, ... and this,
... and this, ... and this,
... and this, ... and this,
never happen again.
And that Freedom reign.
How they can justify the draft story, the Social Security story, the stories about Bush's record, and on and on.
Democrats believe that all is fair in love sex and politics – but not war.

speechless.
Thanks for the ping. An outstanding photo essay!
Thanks for the ping - never forget!
Thanks Gabz.
Pinging the rest of the Richmond pinglist.
Thanks, for the ping Misty.
Strong statement with great photos.
It looks like the biker in the last photo is wearing a helmet. If that's his choice, wonderful. If not, that ride is about as close to freedom as he can get right now.
Ridin', with the wind in your face on a warm sunny day, is pretty close to heaven. The flag says it all.
This should be preserved forever....
Two more reasons why:

Thanks for pinging folks to this.
.
I pinged those I know with large lists............although it's been around before, I thought it was well worth a re-read.
Thank you for pinging.
This is a very powerful and quick read.
Very powerful. Thanks for the ping!
Bump!
Is there a thread about these interviews? If there is, I can ping it.
It is very moving. I am just blown away by the little child wrapped in bombs. It just hurts to see children harmed in any way. And it is amazing that when we show these pictures the dim dems start screaming that we are playing dirty by influencing emotions. If someone could influence their sense of shame, we would all be better off!
I don't know if there is a thread or not. You might try contacting the Admin Moderator. If there isn't a thread someone should put it up.
You are so right.
