In response to Mr. Regan's post I have decided that I will get on here and say who I am voting for and why I am voting for them.......maybe someone will read it.
I am going to vote for Dubya for the simple reason that I CANNOT vote for Mr. Kerry. I am not overly pleased with the job that George has done thus far, but I am willing to forgive many of his mistakes because I think he has had to deal with a situation that no president has been faced with since Roosevelt in 1941....a direct attack on our own soil by an enemy who HATES us. I think he has kept this country relatively safe . As for our situation in Iraq right now, I think if Kerry is elected he will not do enough to complete the job that needs to be done and democrats in general are focused on getting out of Iraq. This would be a terrible mistake. The post-war occupation of Germany lasted from 1945-1949 and the U.S. provided military assistance until 1955. That was after a dictator was overthrown and a democracy was established.......sound familiar? It took that long because even though Hitler was defeated, there was still a sect of Nazis and a mindset that had to be defeated as well. If we would have pulled out and headed home after the war ended in May of 1945, there would be no chance that Germany would have taken the necessary steps to create a democracy, and all those lives (a lot more than 1200) would have been in vain. THAT would have been a tragedy. I think that Kerry is appealing to the uneducated and short-sighted voter in his attack on this war. Sorry they haven't found any WMD's........but a dictator who was murdering his own people is out of power. If anything, I think we need more occupation and more force in that region. I hope that Bush rules more strongly if he is re-elected, but I know that Kerry will not. He doesn't even understand his enemy. This IS a religious war and the so-called practitioners of the "religion of peace" hate our country and the principles it was founded on. What it is not, and what it will never be, is a small group of radicals who are behaving as a "nuisance".
However, the main reason I will not vote for Kerry has nothing to do with the war in Iraq. It is that he is a proud and outspoken liberal, and I believe the liberal mindset is so much more dangerous to our country than people realize.
- They want to destroy our culture by allowing anyone and everyone to come here and impose their views on us. God forbid that we stand for what we once stood for because it may offend someone
- They want to destroy our family structure by allowing lawyers and judges to decide that what our founding fathers said was unlawful and wrong, is not only lawful but beautiful and should be embraced.
-They want to not only allow for the murder of babies, but to then take that aborted child and harvest his stem-cells for the sake of medical advancement.........actually, for POSSIBLE medical advancement. Forgive me if I consider that a step in the wrong direction. For those of you who only hear "we WILL cure diabetes, alzheimer's, parkinson's......" (reference John Edward's speech to a high school during this campaign), notice that they never mention how they will "cure" all these things. Or from whom they plan to get these stem cells.
-They call evil good and good evil. They think that peace can be obtained without war, and lives can be saved without death....for the first time in history of course.
Maybe there will be more jobs if Kerry is elected and maybe your stock will go up a few points. I am really sorry that Bush spent a large amount of money fighting a WAR and that your portfolio took a hit after 9/11 and has not fully recovered. I am sorry it takes $40.00 to fill up your car, but I don't remember it saying anywhere in the constitution that it is the job of the president to get you a job or put money in your pocket. It is the job of government to protect its citizens and create an environment through legislation that allows you to have all the money in the world if you are willing to work hard for it. However, that was accomplished a few hundred years ago. Why do we want to let liberal judges who don't share the values we were founded on determine the values that we live by now? Are those concepts outdated? It is still the land of opportunity; that's why everyone in the world is trying to get over here and it is also the reason that many people in the world hate and resent us. Why is that hard to understand?
I don't think that jobs or money is a good enough reason to vote for someone that clearly represents a step toward the breakdown of values and acceptance and tolerance of just about anything. I think the liberal mindset "rejects the wisdom of the ages for the foolishness of today" (not my words......Michael Savage, but I think it sums up quite nicely).
This is a very scary election, because the wrong choice could hurt us really, really badly.
Anyway..... I'm voting for Bush and hoping that he is re-elected and he takes even stronger steps toward the preservation of our culture and our borders. And I hope by the end of it he has Jesse Jackson and John Kerry and Bill Maher and Michael Moore foaming at the mouth even more than they are already. Because anything that angers the liberal left is probably a nice big step towards morality and family and wisdom.
