Here in Florida early voting has become a big convenience. Many people are unable to vote on Tuesday because they have to work, have transportation problems, etc. So Florida allows early voting and allows for people to vote with an absentee ballot if need be also. My wife is unable to leave work, and with me working from home now, going to the polls on election day can be a chore, but it's something I do not want to miss. So we both received our absentee ballots and proceeded to vote for the people who are best to defend this country.
While I am not ashamed of being a Republican, or conservative on some issues, I would like to explain why I voted to keep Republicans in power. The main reason is very simple......defending our country and fighting terrorism.
I would never turn this responsibility over to the democrats simply because "they don't get it". They have fought to undermine most policies to protect our country. They are against the Patriot Act (even though they voted for it). They are against surveillance of terrorists in the United States. Democrats go out of their way to make sure terrorists have the same rights as American citizens. I really can't find anything democrats have done to try and help protect us.
You have elected Democrats telling us our troops are murderers, and that they are no better than Pol Pot., and compare them to Russian gulags. You have elected Democrats telling us the U.S. is no better than Saddam. It's actually hard to find democrats saying something good about this country. I believe they would rather us lose this war, just so they can further their hatred for Bush.
Now I am not happy with the Republican party as a whole. They have gone soft and have allowed the democrats and their media allies to do and say whatever they please without consequence. That really shows during this election when the media is so blatantly biased it isn't even funny anymore.
However, with all being said I read something the other day that confirmed that voting to keep Republicans in power is necessary.
"We advise the American people … do not vote for Bush and his ilk," Ayatollah Javadi-Amoli of Iran said."
Now first off, it's hard to tell whether this quote was made by an Ayatollah from Iran, or a member of the democratic party. It's obvious the increased violence in Iraq is meant to sway the elections. So the big question is this............
Why do terrorists want the democrats to win?
Maybe because it's in their best interest, and for that reason alone is enough for me to keep Republicans in power.
