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.
Well, I suppose Teresa gave them some support in kind. I hate all the dishonest scum we see in politics.

What a GREAT POST !!!!! Thank you vanderleun !!...and a BTTT for the "morning" FR crew !!!
W must win, and then we must go to work to stop the lunatic fringe from destroying our voting system. We need to be offensive and agressively chase the rats off the cliff!
It's great, isn't it. You are right about it being a video.
I am still blown away by GW's ability to touch people and ignite the base. People actually love the man and you can see it at his rallys. Kerry is just a loser who is riding on the coattails (again) of strong emotion. What an a$$.
BTT!!!!!!!
What an amazing post thank you.

Like Hugh Hewitt, 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.
As I have mentioned before, I have voted independent for at least the last 5 elections. This year the stakes are just too high and I have no choice but to vote for President Bush.
I do have reasons for preferring President Bush as President.
I agree with his handling of the war on terror specifically the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Democrats are saying that this is a failure because it has turned these countries into magnets for terrorists. That is exactly why I prefer President Bushs current policy its much better to have the terrorists congregate in one or two places far from our shores. It makes it easier to kill them and it keeps them away from us.
Now for why I can not support Hanoi Johns bid for the Presidency other than that he is a despicable, self aggrandizing, lying, backstabbing, seditious traitor who flip flops with the winds of public opinion on nearly issue but national defense which he has always been against.
I do not believe that the sovereignty of the United States of America should be ceded to the United Nations.
I believe that our military forces are important and should be supported but maybe thats because I had over twenty years of Army service before retiring.
I do not believe that terrorist groups or foreign leaders should dictate our foreign policy.
I believe that if we have to choose our Chief Executive from the ranks of the politicians, we should at least pick a full time representative.
As this is getting longer than I care to post or many care to read Ill cut it off here and not list more reasons for disliking that despicable, self aggrandizing, lying, backstabbing, seditious traitor known as Hanoi John Kerry.
BUMP
That preaches...
mush it and find out.
I am simply offended by the lies and distortions. I am offended by the game playing. I thought we saw the worst when we were introduced to the Clintons, but I was wrong. I am disgusted by the people who get on the tv and spin what they know is not true. People like Chad Clanton and Terry McAuliffe and Al Gore and Susan Estrich. I would feel such shame in myself if asked to do such a thing, but I don't think I could live with myself knowing I had.
How they can justify the draft story, the Social Security story, the stories about Bush's record, and on and on. It's sickening. I am only sorry that so many in this nation chose to believe liars rather than check things out for themselves. I have to believe that given the choice between the truth and a lie, most Americans would want the truth. I just wish most Americans would search for it!
Bump!
It is very good! Thanks for the ping Don W!
