Bush fears only theft

This is in response to the open question raised by Mr. Richard A. Mestis in the Nov. 22 letter, “What’s Bush afraid of?” It appears that Mr. Mestis has about the same intelligence level as the voters in West Palm Beach, who don’t seem to be able to read and follow directions.

The only thing that President-elect George W. Bush is afraid of is theft. The Gore Gang is doing their level best to steal the election from the people of Florida. The only people that George W. Bush does not trust is the people of the Gore machine that is now attempting to steal the election. George W. Bush won the election once, the votes were recounted and Bush won again.

I think the better question is: How many times does George W. Bush have to win the election? Think about it!
