This is the first election in which I am old enough to vote. I come from a military family and will be joining the Navy in the next year or two... assuming Kerry doesn't win. I do not want that man as my commander in chief. So I and my entire extended family will all be voting for Bush. Bush-Cheney are going to win '04

How wonderful a country is this when a traitorous scum like John Kerry can not only be in politics, but get the Democratic bid for the Presidency. I hope my country is smarter than Kerry believes it is.

Don, great website! Just to let you know there are a silent majority north of the border who love and support George Bush in the war on terrorism & in Iraq despite our own bleeding heart Liberal government refusal to back the US lead coalition. May God bless George Bush, Tony Blair and most importantly, may God bless America!

Mr. Don Bendell ¨C THANK YOU. Your 10.28.04 GUEST OPINION entitled "OCTOBER ELECTION SURPRISES" just summed things up most thoughtfully. If Americans decide to get theirs heads on straight about just one point you made, it must be what, in my humble opinion, is the overriding truism for us all to embrace on Nov. 2nd...which you set forth nicely and I quote, ¡°This is NOT a Republican-Democrat thing. This election is about honesty and dishonesty, looking Presidential versus being Presidential, ¡°talking the talk¡± versus ¡°walking the walk,¡± character, earning the respect of our fighting men and women, but more than anything, it is about the security of our nation, not the cost of health care. Costs of anything matters not if you are dead¡±. The American Political Scientists Association today released a thorough study which concludes that George W. Bush will receive 57.6% of the popular vote on Nov. 2nd. Providing the study is accurrate and ELECTORS IN OUR STATES REMAIN LOYAL TO THEIR COMMITMENTS, we will be spared from having to endure incompetent leadership in the oval office for 4 more years. Signed..."All fingers & toes crossed"

Don, Just wanted to thank you for your sacrifices back in Vietnam. Men like you are the reason we live free here in the USA. I believe we need President Bush another four years and the thought of John Kerry as Commander-in-Chief scares the hell out of me. Let's hope and pray Bush (and all that the US stands for) prevail on Election Day. And, again thanks to you and your wife for all you have done.

First Mr. Bendell I would like to say to say from one vet to another Welcome Home and Thank you very much for your contribution to our great nation. Even though I was not even thought of during your service in Vietnam I deal with a lot of Vietnam Vets and I feel that even though it may not be much to say so, it is very much in order and if I could I would shake your hand. And as for your stand on democratic hopeful, and I use that term loosely, I would have to agree. How can I respect or even trust a man who would turn his back on my fellow brothers in arms to be my commander in chief. It makes me wonder what he would to me and the men I serve with if we ever left behind. So I take a stand against "Hanoi John" and make my voice heard on Nov. 2. for my candidate is George W. Bush. May god bless you and your family where ever they are and thank you again. Sincerely, J. Godwin Petty Officer Second Class USN

I pray that someday our children will grow up taking hold of personal responsibility as a creed and pushing aside the idea that ¡°others are to blame¡± or that a parental government needs to think for them. I pray that someday adults will shun the idea that criticism of others is equal to deeds, that a last minute polishing of personal style is equal to life-long development of character, and that kowtowing to ¡°insta-polling¡± is equal to standing up for personal beliefs. Our culture is at a crossroads of these two diametrically opposed concepts: ¡°Can Do¡± vs. ¡°Do It For Me.¡± Entitlement, political correctness, and a sense of personal helplessness may soon be part of our national character. May it never be so. Our pioneering ancestors are turning in their graves at the thought. I hope this country can return to common sense, common decency, and dedication to improving the common good. Get out and vote for President Bush, and let¡¯s stem the tide of shallow, selfish, and superficial thinking!

Four more years? Four more years of George Bush will bankrupt the United States. China is already paying 42 %the interest on our national debt ; When Bush took power the Chinese didn't even have a share in the interest. I would be totally worried about China, bankrupting the United States, you cannot be a world power and be bankrupt. The interest on the national debt under George Bush went to a billion dollars a day. George Bush has harmed the country almost beyond belief. Four more years of what.? Four more years of ............

Senator Kerry's own hometown paper in Massachusetts, a traditional Democratic town, has not only endorsed President Bush, but a ringing endorsement, and quite harsh against Kerry. This paper can be found at http://www.lowellsun.com/Stories/0,1413,105%7E4746%7E244 Lowell Sun Endorsement: George W. Bush for president Sunday, October 03, 2004 - It's about national security.

BUSH'S HOMETOWN PAPER RIPS HIM A NEW ONE, ENDORSES KERRY "Few Americans would have voted for George W. Bush four years ago if he had promised that, as President, he would...Empty the Social Security trust fund by $507 billion to help offset fiscal irresponsibility and at the same time slash Social Security benefits....Cut Medicare by 17 percent and reduce veterans' benefits and military pay....Eliminate overtime pay for millions of Americans and raise oil prices by 50 percent. to vote for Bush now would be admitting you were "delusional" after he's been caught in so many lies and then looks right at you an denies it. He never admits to making a mistake and still is blaming Bill Clinton. With this president the "Buck stops in Mexico" SEE FARENHEIT 911 for a real wake up call-Bush will lose by millions of votes. (AGAIN) and not cheat the American people again.

Mr. Bendell, You remind me alot of my husband. You can take alot of crap and still have room for love. I'm not much into politics but if there's one thing that I've learned it is that if we as American's would like to continue having freedom and all that good stuff than there will be sacrifices that have to be made and unfortunately that may be someone close to us. My husband is an officer and if God decides to not let him come home to me than I know that he will go home to God and he didn't die in vain. He also protects and serves people that he himself can't stand and would also like to have his way with. It's amazing how people get so emotional over things myself included and I have to wonder if it's because we're so set on trying to prove that the other person is wrong. Personally I don't believe that it's good for America to have Kerry as President when he has trouble in his own life deciding who he's going to stay married to. Marriage I feel is not just a partnership but it's a commitment to your spouse and to God that you will stay married to that person until one of you dies. If Kerry can't stay committed to one person will he also turn his back on his country when things get bad? Just a question that I thought I'd ask. I had the same question go through my mind when Clinton was President. Like I said it's just a question. I have met you on several occasions and have also spoken to your wife and even if we were to disagree on politics - you two are very awesome people and you are respected in my home. I've never been in the military. I've had family in the past serve in many wars including Civil Wars all th way up to Desert Storm and unfortunately there are alot of people that experience many heartaches but it is done with a reason. In the book of Joshua it speaks of the battle of Jericho and God Himself was their leader. In fact most of the wars that took place in the Bible took place in or around Israel which is farely close to where our war is now. America will win this war it says so in the Bible. It doesn't say America specifically it says the soaring eagle which is what represents America.Bush will be President again. Even if Kerry is elected he'll end up pissing off so many American's that he'll have to resign or something which could happen giving that he can't stay committed to anything.I know it's hard dealing with loudmouth,"long-winded", disrespectful people but always keep in mind that there are alot of people out here that do respect you and support you and pray for our troops every day. Thanks for taking time to read my letter I know you're a busy man.

Yep, I'm an Army Veteran active duty 5yrs. enlisted, and a Navy Veteran active duty 5yrs. officer. I'm currentlya Navy Reserve Officer with 5yrs. to go before I can select to retire. I know I couldn't serve the remaining 5yrs. under John Kerry, especially considering our countrymen and allies are being attacked, killed, and beheaded for "entertainment" on SOME Arab websites and TV stations for our stand against terror. I fear I'd be sent to Kuwait under a flip flopping "I dunno what the POLLS would say about MY decision" president. Military men and women want a leader who is aggressive, and who supports us. Certainly not a flip-flopping pacifst who bitched and groaned over every scratch he got to achieve three purple hearts to get his ass back to the states to protest and get into politics. We want someone who will support us financially and militarily to WIN in whatever situation we are sent. It's down and dirty time, we're at war with terrorists,and John Kerry doesn't have the balls to get the job done. Thanks for sharing with the world what a traitor Kerry really is.

Bush led us into war because 1) he claimed Saddam had WMD and 2) he claimed he could prove Saddam was involved in 9/11. Both of these claims were false. Saddam was a terrible dictator, but there are hundreds of terrible dictators in this world¡ªBush only seems interested in those dictators in oil-rich countries. George Bush justified invading Iraq because 1) he claimed Iraq had WMDs and 2) he claimed Iraq was behind 9/11. Both of these claims have been disproved. Saddam Hussein was a terrible dictator guilty of abuses against his people. But so are the rulers of many other governments with which we do business. North Korea, for example, is a dictatorial state led by Kim Jong II openly pursuing a nuclear weapons program. Why didn't we invade North Korea ? North Korea doesn't have any oil. Other terrible dictators include Than Shwe in Burma, Hu Jintao in China, Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe, and Crown Prince Abdullah in Saudi Arabia who has close ties to the Bush family. At least 10,000 Iraqi civilians have died as a result of the U.S. invasion. Daily manifestations of anti-American rage in Iraq and throughout the Middle East make it painfully clear that we are considered an occupying power, not a liberating one. The Bush administration has offered no viable plan for bringing democracy to Iraq. The U.S., once considered the standard bearer for liberty, is now internationally associated with military imperialism and profiteering. LET'S REMIND SHRUB HOW CIVILIZED PEOPLE PERFORM A REGIME CHANGE: AT THE BALLOT BOX!

This is addressed to the Nam paratrooper with a son in Iraq. first, thank you for your service. I served in the Air Force on Okinawa, Taiwan, and TDY at Da Nang. 5 years total. No combat experience, so i can't speak to that, but i can speak to love of country. I sense a lot of resentment & guilt in your letter. I can't believe it wasn't more than a very small % of our guys that were in Viet Nam that committed any atrocities, just as i believe it's only a handful of our troops doing anything wrong in Iraq. To our credit these malcontents are taken care of by the Military Code of Justice. I personally knew 6 or 8 of my friends that went in country, and not a one of them said anything about burning houses, cutting off ears, as our friend Kerry claims he did. Viet Nam is a very different war than Iraq. We had people that were drafted over there in Viet Nam. They didn't want to be there, and that's a very bad combination. And we must always remember. We were attacked first, and if you don't think Saddam was celebrating when the towers came down...think again. My daughter was in tower 1, and got out. I thank God every day for that, and i pray your son comes back safe in his effort to protect all of us. You seem tormented. I hope some day you can find peace.

At least John Kerry had the balls to enlist, putting his life on the line to go fight in Viet Nam. Unlike the draft dodging cheerleader we have sitting in the White House, John Kerry eraned the right to speak out against the war in Viet Nam.

You sent a reply to a dear friend the other day and posed an interesting question, to wit, if Senator Kerry and his wife supposedly give away millions to charity, and he is salaried by the federal goverment and she does not have a job, how has their net worth increased by over $200,000,000 since their marriage? I hope you will explore that, sir, or pass it on to your sphere of influence to research. Please press on, Mr. Bendell. Libby S.

GWB is rich too, but I think he really really cares. I have relatives in Iraq and we are kicking butt over there, but Kerry and the press want to scare us into voting for him. They have been fighting us harder over there because of the election to scare us into voting for Kerry. Screw that! Keep after him Don.

A lot of people underestimate President Bush when it comes to a debate. He's pretty good at it. You know back in college he was able to argue both sides of that 'Taste great, less filling' debate." --Jay Leno "President Bush's hometown newspaper in Crawford, Texas, has endorsed John Kerry. Well President Bush doesn't know about it, cause it was in his newspaper." --Jay Leno During a speech this week John Kerry said if President Bush is re-elected he might bring back a military draft. When asked, Bush said, 'Trust me, even if I bring back the draft there are plenty of ways to get around it.'" --Conan O'Brien "The fourth hurricane this year is hitting Florida. Jeb Bush said if the state were any more devastated, his brother would declare it a complete success" --Bill Maher "Donald Rumsfeld said they are going to have elections even if only three quarters of the country votes. He said life isn't perfect. He said sometime when you have elections, you have to exclude parts of the country. You know, like we did with the blacks in Florida." --Bill Maher Teresa Heinz Kerry predicted at a fund-raiser the other day that Osama bin Laden will be captured just before the election. Of course when President Bush heard he was furious. He said, 'How did she find out?'" --Jay Leno "President Bush met with the prime minister of Greece. In the meeting, Bush praised the Greek people by saying, 'You gave the world Plato, which I once ate a can of.'" --Conan O'Brien

Bush just isn't in reality on Iraq. Forget about Cheney's "Rhetoric" about John Kerry being soft on terrorism-he's not. The real question is: How his policy on Iraq differs from President Bush's. His answer is "unlike Bush,whose decisions have been dictated at every stage by "GRANDIOSE VISIONS AND WISHFUL THINKING"John Kerry will get real.-focusing on what is really possible in Iraq,and what needs to be done to protect American security and American lives. Bush claims that Kerry's plan to secure and rebuild Iraq is "Exactly what we're currently doing. " NO IT IS NOT" It's only what Bush is currently saying. And we have 18 months of his administrations' deeds to contrast with his words. (remember he said 6 months tops now its 4 years(FLIPPIOUS FLOPPIOUS ALA GEORGE BUSH) The Actual Bush Administration record is one of officials who have refused to admit that their fantasies about how the war would go were wrong ,and who have continued to push us even deeper into the quagmire because of their insistence that everything is going accord to plan-"According to plan?" Their plan has become a recipe for disaster. THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION HAS FAILED TO DO ANYTHING SERIOUS ABOUT REBUILDING IRAQ. THE MONEY MELTED AWAY -$8 BILLION TO DATE UNACCOUNTED FOR.WHERE IS IT? Even the Republican Press is having serious doubts about George Bush. Less attention has been given to its parallel failure to take the security problem seriously until much of Iraq had already been lost. It has become apparent to even the most casual observer and staunch supporter of President Bush that we are engaged in an "ESCALATING GUERRILLA WAR. "BUSH AND CRONIES "GOOFED" THEMSELVES INTO BELIEVING WERE ARE FIGHTING A HANDFUL OF DEAD-ENDERS AND FOREIGN TERRORIST. AND HOW WRONG THEY ARE. As a result: The Bush Administration has casually swelled the ranks of our foes. no joke;its not. Although Muqtada al-Sadr was never ever going to be our friend,but he didn't have to be our enemy The Bush Administration even treated Iraqi security forces with contempt, dismissing them and a standing army that could of been brought to bear on the countries sense of order. ANALYSIS REPORT: "Inexcusable Failure" says Anthony Cordesman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies" Basically he says: "The Bush Administration failed to treat the Iraqi's as partners in the counterinsurgency effort." Bush administration officials are "Guilty of a gross military,administrative and moral failures." The roots of this folly is a continuing refusal to face uncomfortable facts. Bush having been confronted with a bleak C.I.A. assessment of the Iraq situation-one that matches the judgment of just about every independent experts responds "That they are just guessing"Is this guy nuts? Cordesman writes, "The administrations 's senior spokesmen still seem to live in a fantasyland-one that is getting many American reservist's killed. When will Bush be held Accountable.?
