Elected the first time because Gore is a nut-case, running around the world in extremely “carbon unfriendly” private corporate jets all in the name of the biggest myth perpetuated on the world since the “global cooling” foolishness of the 1970’s. Gore should at least ‘pretend’ that he believes in what he promoting. The entire country knew Bush was the right leader for our time after 9/11.
Bush is proving again to be the only leader who understands the nature of the war on terror and has the backbone to fight it. Besides, Kerry is an “International Pariah.”
This is the letter that I wrote to Bush on the eve of the election. I hope it gives you an insight as to why I voted for him.
Dear Mr. President,
I just wanted to write you a short message to encourage you, to assure you that I am praying for you and to thank you for being the courageous leader that you are. I am proud of the way you have endured the vicious personal attacks from so many cruel and mean-spirited people without giving in to the temptation to return evil for evil. This is the mark of a true Christian.
I am so thankful that I have a president who isn't swayed by opinion polls as are some politicians, who are only concerned about their popularity. I am thankful to have a president that makes his decisions based on true, heart-felt convictions and for the best interest of our country. I also appreciate the fact that you truly care about each and every one of our brave troops, many who have made the supreme sacrifice for our country. I am buoyed by their bravery and their profound commitment and understanding of what is really at stake in this war.
Mr. President, I agree with you that we are in a war that is going to span our lifetimes. I am saddened that so many of our countrymen don’t seem to understand what appears so painfully obvious me. This enemy knows no country’s boundaries and will not stop until they have accomplished their mission or until we have defeated them. Few of us alive today have ever experienced such a great number of terrorists who are willing to target innocent men, women and children and kill themselves in the process to display the conviction of their cause.
Mr. President, I know that many people in our country aren’t considering the cost to our country if we don't win this war on terror. The pain we feel for the loss of thousands of lives of those dear to us numbs our sensitivities to the precious value of each human life and painfully reminds us of a day when we lost thousands of our citizens in a single morning. I understand their pain. I feel it as well. The only thing that allows me to endure the pain and yet know that we must continue the mission until victory is achieved is the realization of what it will mean to future generations if we do not confront this enemy here and now.
Mr. President, it’s sad for me to even consider the consequences of withdrawing our forces with anything less than a complete victory. Not so much for myself or even for those who in their blind rage and pain are willing to accept losing this monumental battle of civilizations, but for the young people today; those who are too young to comprehend the seriousness of the events surrounding us. Those children and young people who can’t even begin to fathom the future that they will be forced to tolerate as a result of surrender to this enemy today. These are the ones my heart goes out to. Those of us who have a historical perspective, I believe, can understand and are grieved by the thought.
Mr. President, in closing I would like to say that I understand that there are no guarantees that we will be victorious however, the only fear I have greater than failing to achieve victory is the thought of giving up now and emboldening our enemies. I am pained by the awful thought that Bin Laden was correct in his disdainful assessment of Americans being quick to surrender because of the pain of losing more of our brave young fighters in a cause that is not clear to many. More horrible than trying and failing to win is the fear that we will give up, cut and run, surrender because we didn’t understand the true nature of the battle.
Mr. President, I believe that America can not be militarily defeated by this enemy but, I fear that we are prone to deny what our enemy knows full well is a battle of the will and endurance- not only of superior military hardware and training. Thank you again for staying the course and for giving this war all of your personal effort to achieve victory for the sake of our children, for the sake of our troops, for the sake of the Iraqi people we are helping and for our own sake. God Bless you.

I didn't vote for him either time. The first election results proved beyond a shadow of a doubt how worthless the Electoral College is. It has no bearing whether or not who has the most popular votes. NOTHING has been done to eliminate this worthless piece of anti-democratic procedure from our electoral processes. The second election was due to more image than substance. Bush has problems putting two sentences together some times, but he was seen as the "friendlier" of the two candidates, and more of a down home type of guy you'd like to have a beer with. (or a shot of Jim Beam). I thought and think Bush is a dunce. Any fool can start a war, only a great leader can win one. He's my president now--at least until 2009. I don't wish him any harm just because I didn't vote for him. Just thought I'd note that.

I voted for him & would vote for him again because he is a man of conviction and he loves his country. He isn't perfect, but unless you are brainwashed by left wing media, you'd know what is going on in the world and would know that he is doing whatever it takes to protect the world from terror. You probably never heard of VX, you probably think terrorists are freedom fighters, you don't read all spectrum of investigations & if you have you might not understood it because you would think otherwise. I'm a member of the military community & I could tell you horrors of what terrorits do & I beat you never hear of these things on NBC news and you wont. You keep living in lala "it's Bush's fault" land while the rest of us debate the real issues. Terror has been around well before Bush. I remember watching a marine being tossed from a plane & ran over when I was a kid I guess that was Bush's fault too? When your ready to have a real debate do your reasearch first before spouting names because that is all the left has.

for sure that he grow to be a greater powerful selection than Kerry. I observed a polla few weeks in the past which will by no ability see the sunshine of day working Bush against McCain and Obama, Bush gained lower back via a great margin against the two. yet another question, who the hell voted for those valueless plenty working congress? stable information is the party spent ALL their money getting them elected. Democrat party has 2 million interior the financial business enterprise. Obama made a nasty selection skipping public financing questioning he would get Hillary's donors. McCain out raised him final quarter, and the Republican party is loaded. not sure between McCain and Obama. If the Democrats commence drilling for oil earlier the election, then Obama, in the event that they do no longer then McCain. have faith me it relatively is how the election will turn.

I most definitely voted in 2004, and I voted for Bush. I can give you five words as to why: He was not John Kerry. Sometimes you just have to vote for the lesser of two evils. I stand by my vote, and given it all over to do again; I would vote against Kerry once more.

The only other choice seemed to have "Let's end the war NOW" as his only real weapon, and to top that off, he flip-flopped the entire damn time.
As much as the war in Iraq sucks, voting for someone who's only platform was to get rid of the one starting the war seemed pretty flimsy to me.

Kerry is an idiot. When the Dems run somebody who has intelligent Ideas and not the same old rhetoric I will vote for them.

Because Kerry is a dishonest, hypocritical, untrustworthy, shallow and anti-American schmuck. It didn't take random comments about the US and "jokes" about the soldiers years later for those of us who voted for Bush a second time to realize it.
