"I am a life long Democrat and always will be one, but this year I am crossing party lines and voting for George W. Bush. I feel like John Kerry is too Liberal, and I know that I can't support a Boston Liberal. John Kerry puts down the President of the United States of America, during a time when we need a strong leader to fight terrisom, and George W. Bush is the right man at the right time to fight the war on Terror.... I am proud to be a Democrat, but I will vote for George W. Bush this time."
Edward Egeland, Tucson, AZ
"As a life long Democrat, and former "peace activist", I began to sour on the Democrat Party during the Clinton years and with the political correctness that has done great damage to our Country...it became clear that there isn't a terrorist, dictator or wretched regime that the peace activists don't like...their beloved UN is nothing but a corrupt organization that has done nothing to help the citizens of the world,but has done plenty to support terrorism and mass genocide wherever they go. After Sept.11, I began to educate myself in politics and world events.I was increasingly disturbed and angry with the Democrat Party's constant deriding and vicious attacts on President Bush,who was doing everything in his power to insure our safety against the threat of Islamic terrorism. John Kerry makes my skin crawl...he will destroy this Country. Now, as a registered Independant, I will be voting for President Bush. My Democratic friends think I have gone over to the "dark side", but I believe that I have risen from the smoke and ashes of the "wrong side", and see quite clearly where I am going."
Betty Schweitzer-Johnson, Tucson, AZ
"I am a lifelong Democrat from Missouri. I have voted Democrat in the last 4 elections. On September 11, I had the rose tinted glasses torn off. On September 14 I was never more proud of my country or of a President. By the middle of the war in Afghanistan, I was already beginning to wonder about my party. They seemed more interested in sniping and denigrating than rallying the people against this threat. Today, they have simply left me. Standing here wondering if we are even on the same planet, much less the same country. In the end, when the party embraced Michael Moore and the sedition he calls a movie, I knew that it was time to let go and stand on the side of right. There are many things I would like to worry about, but today, it is war. It is security. Voting for President Bush in 2004. Four more years!"
Kathleen Henry, Gladstone, MO
"I am a 30 year old, Conservative Republican male in WIlmington, NC Area, I just want to say to all my Democrats for Bush people, Thank you for making the choice to Vote for "George W. Bush for President of the United States in 2004. "W" stands for winning, winning the war on terror, Winning on Nov 2."
Chris Woehrle, Hampstead, NC
"I just wanted to add my enthusiastic support for this site and for the general effort to inform my fellow Democrats why it's critically important that President Bush be returned to office for another four years. For me, national security is the single most important issue facing our country right now and Mr. Bush is clearly the candidate who will keep our country and our citizens most safe from terrorism. I believe that my own party's candidate, Mr. Kerry, is truly in another world when it comes to his grasp of the terrorist threat to our safety. He recently described terrorism as "a nuisance", equating it with illegal gambling and prostitution! I was horrified by this, his latest in a series of outrageous and unforgiveable statements on the subject. I believe that this sentiment alone disqualifies him from being our Commander-in-Chief...."
Gary A., Arlington, VA
"I am not a Democrat, I am a Republican; however, I want to thank all the Democrats who not only on this website, but in every part of America are backing and supporting our President. Considering the time in which we live, America does not need a country who will tear down its' President from the inside out. Terrorism is already doing that! Our President probably needs more support than any other President at any other time in history, and I can not stress this enough! So once again, thank you to all of you Democrats who have vowed to vote for W this November. God Bless you."
Elise Purcell, Lakewood, CO
"As a Democrat from the great state of Ohio, I can tell you that many midwestern Democrats like myself feel very alienated from our party right now. I supported Joe Lieberman in the primaries, but was appalled by the way our party's left wing turned on the one Democrat whose record on counter-terrorism was as strong as the president's. The Michael Moore / Howard Dean crowd knows so little about the middle America they are forever shedding aligator tears for.
Let me make clear: I am no Zell Miller, a Democrat in name only. Rather, like Mayor Ed Koch, many of my political beliefs are inconsistent with President Bush's or the G.O.P. platform. As a former social worker and future bankruptcy attorney, I yearn for the kind of social justice that most Republicans scoff at.
Yet I must admit that Bush is the only candidate fit to lead this country right now. I urge all liberal Democrats to consider Israel's history of dealing with terrorists. From this history, there can be only one lesson --- the future of freedom depends not just on counter-terrorism, but on taking this fight to the countries that nurture terror, including Iraq.
As a final note, let me add that Bush's record on health care and education is virtually liberal. The prescription drug plan and the "No Child Left Behind Act" were just the sorts of bills that President Clinton would have loved to pass, but could not. Bush's "big government" conservatism should win over the kind of "guns and butter" liberals one finds in the midwest and the south (not to mention the Catholic neighborhoods of the east coast). Who knows... the Republican party of the future may be one that is socially conservative and economically liberal. If so, count this Democrat in!"
Scott R. Belhorn, Columbus, Ohio
"I am a conservative democrat, but first and foremost, I am an American. I vote for the person I think will best lead the country, is most qualified for the position, and who stands for the values I believe in. I will proudly vote for George W. Bush this November."
Kristen L.W., Tucson, AZ
"I am a Democrat and have been all of my life. I do not intend to leave the party, but the party is quickly leaving me. It seems that if you are not liberal, then there is no room in the party. The last decent President from our party was Presdient Carter. The main reason I am voing for President Bush is because of his tough stance on terrorism and national security. The prior 8 years, our president did not have this tough stance. There was at best a very weak response to the first world trade center bombing, little or no response to our troops killed in the Kobal Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia and the many other bombings that took place. The sensitive policy of the past that Sen. Kerry endorses is what gave the terrorist the time unmolested to plan and to kill over 3000 people on 11 September 2001. We need a president who will go after terrorist and to do what is right. Not a president that will be directed by polls, or by France or by Germany. The United States is the most powerful country in the world at this time. We have a grave and moral responsibility to the world."
Joe Swaim, Elizabethtown, IN
"I do not intend to become a Republican in my lifetime, but simply G. W. BUSH contiinues to support ideals that once made the Democratic Party Great! Now in 2004, G. W. BUSH will determine the direction our great country will pursue in WAR, Business, People and Christian Faiths. The democratic Campaign is an ugly political team and is similiar to the 1968 and 1973 campaigns filled with persons of little importance to American way of Life or Support of Our Troops around the world. Dishonorable Presidential candidates from our US SENATE is nothing new in politics, as we look back in American History. In 2004 only G. W. Bush stands for Liberty and Protection of our Country. "
John P Sullivan, San Pedro, CA
"I have been a lifelong Democrat, and as a citizen of Massacusetts I come from the place that knows John Kerry best. I will be voting for my first Republican candidate in November. You will be hard pressed to find people even here that say that Kerry would be their first choice as a candidate. He got booed at Fenway Park during the convention! ... I first became disillusioned with the Democrat party during the second Clinton term and then the ignorance of the debate about President Bush's "selection" in 2000 did me in. Most 6th graders should have some knowledge about the Electoral College and how it works, there is no excuse for adults to spread lies about "stolen " elections... For me and my family it is "security stupid." I have every intention of voting for the one person who I believe wants to keep me and mine alive. We are winning the war on terror - no matter what the media says. It takes a grown up to understand that the good things take time and are hard to get. That's what makes them worth it. [I'm] A Massachusetts Democrat for Bush! We really do exist!"
Anne Pardee, Rockport, MA
"I am not a Democrat, but I just wanted to send you [Democrats] a note to thank you for your...[comments]. I'm so hurt by all the ugly things that are being said about President Bush, the Anti-Bush books, the accusations, the movie, even the vulgar jokes. For some people, no matter what he does or doesn't do, he is wrong. I thought I saw a lot of fury against him on display in the 2000 Elections, but it got even worse since then. Can you tell me...why do they hate him so? So then I found ... [this] website and read the comments and they brought tears to my eyes. I drew encouragement from your letters. So may God bless you and give you strength, you Democrats who stand for President Bush this year. You will need it. And I hope you can make a difference among your family and friends. Thank you so much."
Ina Fernandez Waynesville, MO
"I have always been a Democrat. I campaigned for Dukakis at age 15, Clinton while in college and served in the Allegheny County (Pittsburgh, PA)Democratic Party as committeeman. This year there is no doubt that I am supporting George Bush. He is the only candidate in this election with the guts to stand up for our nation. His opponent has failed time and time again in his career in the Senate, when questions of National Security have been posed. Hopefully, the sensible members of the Democratic Party can bring it back to reality. I am very interested in helping out in any way with the campaign."
David Allen, Nashville, TN
"I am a Democrat born and bred (albeit moderate to conservative), and I am truly sick of how my Democratic party has treated this president from the get-go. I have many Democrat friends, and have alienated many of them because I tell them that I don't believe that Bush is as terrible as they make him out to be. He didn't steal the election. That's just the way our election process is and has been. He made the right decisions concerning Afghanistan and Iraq (they would be skewering him right now if he had done nothing), and he seems to be fairly centrist. I don't think he's the best president we've ever had, but he's the right man for this place and time in history. I'll vote for him come November, and pray that it's a landslide this time (for Bush)."
Jeanne Asdourian, Corte Madera CA
"I am a 33 year old registered Democrat, who has voted a straight democratic ticket since I was 18 and cast my first vote for Dukakis. I am proud to support George W. Bush in his campaign for re election in 2004. He has the strength, resolve and courage to lead our country in the global fight against terrorism. When I walk into the election booth on Nov 2, 2004, you can bet my vote will be for our Commander in Chief, George Walker Bush."
Lisa Dierdorf, Manchester, MO
"I am a lifelong Democrat who has always faithfully cast my Presidential vote for the Democratic candidate. However, on the morning of September 11, 2001 I thanked God that the man I voted for lost the election. President Bush's response to terrorism has been very appropriate. The Democratic National Committee's decision to politicize what should be our common struggle - their conscious decision to divide America - is an outrage and I refuse to lend such efforts one iota of support. President Bush is a fine man, a fine leader, and a supurb president for our nation."
David Hull, Rancho Cucamonga, CA
"Lifelong Democrat here, cried the first time I pulled the Republican leaver FOR Bush1 against Clinton. Total supporter of Bush-Cheney! Can somebody please send me a bumper sticker (or two)??"
Katie Holland, Silver Spring, MD
"I'm a registered Democrat from a long line of Democrats. Would not consider anyone but President Bush to continue leading us at this time. His Dedication, Respect, and Commitment to our Country is unsurpassed. May he continue to make the tough decisions and face his critics with honor and style. The Democratic leadership today could take a lesson from this man."
Bonnie George, DeBary, FL
"As a registered Democrat I will vote for Bush. Our enemy is Islamic terrorism not any of our presidents. Bush is on track in this fight and has shown great vigilance and fortitude in the face of ridiculous mudslinging. Democrats need to reflect what happens to an enemy divided, show respect for the office of president and embrace all Americans regardless of their party affiliation as having the same threat to our freedoms."
E. Mc Connell, Hewitt, NJ
"I am a life-long Democrat (albeit a conservative one) and DISPISE where party leaders such as Kerry, Kennedy, Daschele, Pelosi and others have taken it. I have seen and heard Senator Zell Miller on FOX NEWS and have read his exceptional book "No Longer A National Party", and stand in line with him, Ed Koch and many other Dems who will be supporting George W. Bush this Fall. BTW, I went so far as to write in Senator Miller in the Ohio Presidential Primary some months ago. I will miss his leadership in Congress."
James J. Bjaloncik, Stow, OH
"I am a life long, 58 year old Democrat who, until 2000, have always voted the party line and worked on many of a Democratic Campaign. Not since JFK, has a President moved me as much as OUR PRESIDENT has since 9/11. Everyone I know tells me John Kerry is a decorated Vietnam Veteran as you are Joe why would you vote for Bush? My answer to that is simple, "It is not who we were, it is who we have become"."
Joseph A. Sherry, Jersey City, NJ
"I am a born and raised democrat,but this year I am voting for the person I feel has the leadership, the integrity, and the family values that I as a democrat have grown up with. That person is George W Bush. He has brought family values back into our homes, and has shown the courage needed to protect us and our homeland, by taking on these terrorists on their own soil. He says what he means and he does what he says! In my eyes, he is a TRUE American! Go "W" 04! Janet from eastern Ohio(land of democrats and unions)"
Janet Nolan, Tiltonsville, OH
"I am a young Democrat, only 19, and I'm disgusted from the slandering of President Bush by my fellow democrats. I believe President Bush has been a great president and is the best man for the job."
John Inzalaco, Suisun City, CA
"I am a lifelong Democrat and can no longer support my party. I stand firmly behind Pres. Bush in this election."
Peggy Caton, Gatlinburg, TN
"... I am honored to stand squarely with President George W. Bush as he leads America at this defining moment in our history. The road that brought me here today is paved with a lot of frustration, but also a lot of hope. I was born a Democrat and I expect I'll be a Democrat until the day I leave this earth. But I have grown mighty frustrated with the direction my party has taken over the last few years. National Democratic leaders today are moving further and further away from the principles that made our party great... "
Senator Zell Miller, GA |
