Bush is keeping his promise to America

After 9/11, President Bush made a promise to me and America that he would go after the terrorists and anyone else who had aided and abetted the attackers. He has worked hard to keep that promise despite the constant attacks from the liberals in America and abroad.

Mr. Kerry thinks the terrorists will listen to reason and with a lot of talk and handholding they can be reduced to a “nuisance like prostitution.” Mr. Kerry seems to think that by becoming “popular” America will be safe. He states he wants to “restore” America’s popularity and get everyone to like us again as a way to fight terror. Well, that didn’t work to prevent 9/11 nor will it work to stop the terrorists. A Kerry victory would send a strong message to the terrorists that we have lost our resolve. President Bush has shown remarkable strength and courage during very difficult times and deserves to be re-elected.
