The terrorists would love to have anybody but Bush. That's because Bush is
kicking their ass. Over 70% of Al Qaeda leadership is dead. They are in utter
disarray, and that's why they haven't been able to attack us. If John Kerry is
president, he's basically said he's not going to "go it alone"
*ahem*30 countries in Iraq*ahem*. There is little to no guarentees that Kerry
will defend us the way Bush has, and that's why they support him. We aren't even
sure if Osama bin Ladin was at Tora Bora, or if he's even still alive now. He
might have died in Tora Bora. He might have died earlier. He might have died
since (he was in terrible condtion for quite a while).
Ask Vladmir Putin of Russia. He thinks all of the recent terrorist activities is
entirely bent on affecting our elections, while all but endorsing Bush. Why do
you think al-Zarqawi said he's aligned with Osama bin Ladin just recently? He's
trying to create as much fear as possible. He's trying to set the stage for
making people scared that Bush is actually going to be brave and keep fighting
them.
Kerry's not going to get any additional countries to join. One German official
said, quote, "pound sand" regardless of who wins. The French have said
the same. I think President Bush is more likely to get Putin to join the fray,
because Putin's starting to sound alot like him now with the incident in Beslan.
He wants the world to help him take on his terrorists as well, even if it is
only 31 countries (adding one for Russia) instead of the 34 during the first
Gulf War that came with U.N. approval.
John Kerry supported going to war in Iraq. Quote:
"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority
to use force -- if necessary -- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that
a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave
threat to our security."
Remarks of Senator John Kerry on Iraq to the US Senate
October 09, 2002
He then voted against the funding for armor and equipment for our troops. He
said before hand on Meet the Press that to vote against that would be
"irresponsible", but that didn't stop him. Then he later admitted he
voted against it as a "protest". He's using our troops' very lives as
nothing but a political tool. Making a big deal about the magical number of
1,000 casualties is a perfect example of this.
Oh, and if you think the only scandal Clinton was involved in was the Monica
Lewinsky incident, I suggest you go to the [
www.judicialwatch.org]
website. It's non-partisan, but it shows alot of the scandals he had under his
belt (no pun intended) including White Water, which was a pyramid scheme.
The truth is, Kerry is going to be weak if he wins. His record proves it. His
protesting the Vietnam War, with 50 admitted war criminals is worthless because
it was later proven that many of them weren't in the military and some the were
weren't in Vietnam. None of them ever signed a deposition for their war crimes.
Investigations failed to prove a single one of their war crimes. What war crimes
there were happened very rarely and were prosecuted when discovered. They never
were status quo.
The point is, John Kerry claimed he was a WAR CRIMINAL. Quote:
There are all kinds of atrocities, and I would have to say that, yes, yes, I
committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have
committed in that I took part in shootings in free fire zones. I conducted
harassment and interdiction fire. I used 50 calibre machine guns, which we were
granted and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against people. I took
part in search and destroy missions, in the burning of villages. All of this is
contrary to the laws of warfare, all of this is contrary to the Geneva
Conventions and all of this is ordered as a matter of written established policy
by the government of the United States from the top down. And I believe that the
men who designed these, the men who designed the free fire zone, the men who
ordered us, the men who signed off the air raid strike areas, I think these men,
by the letter of the law, the same letter of the law that tried Lieutenant
Calley, are war criminals.
-- John Kerry, on NBC's "Meet the Press" April 18, 1971
So either he's an admitted war criminal or a liar who painted our servicemen as
such. He's a God-damn bastard that shouldn't be president... period.

You’re a Republican???
In today’s America, ask a growing number of high school and college students;
their teachers and professors; the self-anointed media elite and/or hard working
men and women of all ethnicities, the question, “What is a Republican?”, and
you’ll be told “… a rich, greedy, egotistical individual, motivated only
by money and the desire to accumulate more and more of it, at the expense of the
environment … the working poor ….and all whom they exploit…”
I am a Republican … I am none of those things… and I don’t know any
Republicans who are.
WHAT I AM … first and foremost, is a loving husband of some 52 plus years, the
father of four and an American who’s proud of his country… and his
country’s heritage.
WHAT I AM … is the grandson of immigrants who risked everything, including
their lives and those of their children, to escape tyranny in search of freedom.
WHAT I AM … is a man who grew up during the Depression and witnessed, first
hand, the effects of the Stock Market crash and the soup lines that followed. I
watched as both my parents and grand parents, who had very little themselves,
share what food they had with a half dozen other families, who had even
less.
WHAT I AM … is someone who worked his way through college by holding down
three and four jobs at a time and then used that education to build a better
life.
WHAT I AM … is a husband who, at age 24, started his own business for the
“privilege” of working 60, 70 and 80 hours a week, risking everything I had,
including my health, in search of a better life for myself and my loved
ones.
WHAT I AM … is a businessman whose blood, sweat and tears…. and plenty of
them…, made it possible for me to provide a secure living, not only for my
family and myself, but also for literally hundreds of my employees throughout
the years. Employees, who in turn, were able to buy their own homes, raise their
own families and give back to their communities and their country.
WHAT I AM … is a man who believes in God; a God who has blessed this
country… and all for which it stands.
WHAT I AM … is someone who knows, if you doubt miracles exist in today’s
world, you need only to look into the face of those who received them … and
the eyes of those who give them.
WHAT I AM … is an American who’s proud that his President embraces a belief
in God; proud of a President who understands, as “politically incorrect” as
it may be, there is evil in this world and for the security and safety of all
freedom loving people everywhere, it must be confronted… and it must be
defeated.
WHAT I AM … is an American who takes comfort in the knowledge that our
President refuses to allow decisions concerning the very safety and security of
this nation, to be governed by the political whims of foreign governments.
WHAT I AM … is tired of hearing from leading Democrats who see only negativity
in America; racism in her people; class warfare in her society and “political
incorrectness” in her character.
WHAT I AM … is a former democrat who now understands that it is the soldier
and not the reporter that guarantees us our freedoms of press, speech and
dissent.
WHAT I AM … is a man who believes in the sanctity of life. A man who is
repulsed by the pandering of the political left for votes, at the expense of the
unborn.
WHAT I AM … is a husband and father who believes in the sanctity of marriage
and the preservation of the family unit.
WHAT I AM … is a movie go-er who is repulsed by those insecure, socially
inept, elementary thinking, ego-inflated “entertainers” who have appointed
themselves “experts” in the fields of national security and geo-politics and
then use their forum to attack this nation, its leaders and its actions…. much
to the delight and encouragement of our enemies.
WHAT I AM … is an American who understands the difference between
“censorship” and “choice”. Evidently, these individuals do not, because
when these same “celebrities” receive public ridicule for their offensive
actions, the first thing they yell is “Censorship!”. What they seem
incapable of understanding is… the right of free speech and dissent is shared
equally by those offended… as well as those who offend. I support and will
continue to support those films and performers whom I choose to … and refuse
to support those I don’t. It is my right as an American … a right I will
continue to enthusiastically exercise.
WHAT I AM … is a voter, tired of politicians, who, every time their voting
records are subjected to public scrutiny, try to divert attention from their
political and legislative failures by accusing their opponents of “attack
ads” and “negative campaigning”…. and the news media who allow them to
get away with it.
WHAT I AM … is a Catholic who loves his God and his Faith… and who’s been
taught to respect all religions whose teachings are based in love, peace and
charity. As such, I am embarrassed and ashamed of those individuals, in both
private and public life, whose decisions and actions are devoid of any sense of
character or morals; individuals who are only driven by what’s best for them
… rather than what’s right … often times at the expense of many ….
including our national security.
WHAT I AM … is a realist who understands that the terrorist attack that
murdered hundreds of innocent Russian children could have occurred here, in our
heartland. That’s why I sincerely believe America needs now, more than ever, a
President who sees with a clear and focused vision and who speaks with a voice
when heard by both friend and foe alike, is understood, respected and
believed.
WHAT I AM … is eternally grateful to Ronald Reagan for having the bravery to
speak out against Communism and the courage of his convictions in leading the
fight to defeat it; and George W. Bush for the vision, courage, conviction and
leadership he has shown in America’s war on terrorism amidst both the constant
and vicious, personal and political attacks both he and his family are made to
endure.
WHAT I AM … is a human being, full of numerous faults and failures, but a man
nonetheless, who, though not always successful, has continually strived to do
“what’s right” instead of “what’s easy”. A man who is challenging
the religious leaders of all faiths, to not only preach to their congregations
the fundamentals of “what’s right” and “what’s wrong”, but to also
then hold them accountable for their actions in both the public and private
sectors.
WHAT I AM … is disgusted with the Courts who, on one hand, call the murder of
a pregnant woman a “double homicide” but then refer to the abortion of her
baby as, “pro-choice”.
WHAT I AM … is someone deeply troubled by a political party which embraces a
candidate whose primary “leadership” qualities center around his protesting
of the Vietnam war and his labeling the honorable men and women who fought in
it, (50,000 of whom gave their lives in that action), as rapists, and war
criminals. That same political party then stepped forward this year to block the
appearance of a true Vietnam war hero, retired Admiral and former United States
Senator, Jeremiah Denton, (a man who spent seven years and seven torturous
months in a North Vietnam prison), from speaking before an open session of the
California legislature as part of that state’s 4th of July celebration. The
reason Democrats gave for refusing to allow this American hero to speak before
their state legislature was because of the “conservative” nature of his
views. As an American, that troubles me deeply ….as well it should you.
WHAT I AM … is a man who feels the need to spend, $104, 655.60,(tax paid) of
his own money, to purchase this advertisement, in order to set the story
straight. Some may say this money would have been better spent feeding the
world’s poor. At the risk of sounding self-serving, as an American and as a
Republican, for the last six decades of my life, I have done exactly that… and
more. Following the examples of my parents and grand parents, I have used my
earnings to feed the poor, shelter the homeless, provide housing for the elderly
and medical care for the sick….. and continue to do so… and I’m not alone
in that work.
WHAT I AM … is someone who is paying for this announcement, at my sole
expense, in hopes of opening the eyes of those led blindly by ill-informed
elements of our great nation, who, through either ignorance, or malicious
intent, repeatedly attack and belittle those of us who belong to a political
party that holds true to the belief, “… the rights of the governed, exceed
the power of the government”. For those interested, I am speaking only as a
tax-paying individual who is in no way associated with The Republican National
Committee, nor with any of its directors, or delegates.
WHAT I AM … is a man who understands, “the American way of life” is a
message of self-empowerment for all.
WHAT I AM … is an American who is grateful that our nation gives each of us
the opportunity of self-determination and the right to benefit from the fruits
of self achievement.
WHAT I AM … is an American who wants to preserve that way of life for all who
seek it.
WHAT I AM … is blessed to be an American…. and proud to be Republican.

Whenever I said no attacks have happened since 9/11, I of course meant no major
ones. Attacks have happened, they have almost all been foiled or minute.
Oh, and if I'm the brainwashed one, why didn't you respond to Kerry's own
admission to being a war criminal? Either he's a war criminal or a man who
falsely claimed that about our troops in Vietnam. Think about it. I'll post it
again for emphasis:
"There are all kinds of atrocities, and I would have to say that, yes, yes,
I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have
committed in that I took part in shootings in free fire zones. I conducted
harassment and interdiction fire. I used 50 calibre machine guns, which we were
granted and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against people. I took
part in search and destroy missions, in the burning of villages. All of this is
contrary to the laws of warfare, all of this is contrary to the Geneva
Conventions and all of this is ordered as a matter of written established policy
by the government of the United States from the top down. And I believe that the
men who designed these, the men who designed the free fire zone, the men who
ordered us, the men who signed off the air raid strike areas, I think these men,
by the letter of the law, the same letter of the law that tried Lieutenant
Calley, are war criminals."

Respond to that without attacking Bush. Respond to that for what it is... I
doubt you will.
