Go Get 'Em GW!

Just a quick note. The differences in the debate tonight were pretty stark. George Bush may not be the ideal Conservative. He's a big spending Chief Executive. Still, next to Kerry, he looks like Alexander Hamilton. There are several things I'd expect to see as Kerry slowly destroyed our economy and weakened the war on terrorism.

• An economic slump resulting from an increased minimum wage, higher taxes, greater environmental costs and less business-friendly legislation.
• Higher inflation as the country tries to keep up with increased entitlements. The prescription drug benefit is bad enough. Let's not put our most liberal politician in the White House to make things worse.
• Demoralization of the military as the war on terror is Vietnamized to a standstill and our strategy reverts to duck-and-cover. Expect to see retention, as well as recruiting, go down, further straining the services.
• Increased attacks on the US and our interests around the world as terrorists gain new footholds, particularly in Iran, and become emboldened by Kerry's treatment of the problem as a judicial one.
• Increased energy costs as the Democratic administration's lack of resolve brings greater instability to the Middle East.
• A weakened Israel in the face of a leftist ideology that treats the Israelis as morally equivalent to the Palestinians. Look for the same attitude regarding the US versus enemy regimes around the world.
• The emergence of a nuclear Iran and an increase in the number of North Korean nuclear weapons as well as improvements to delivery systems. A weak Kerry administration, rushing to bilateral talks with the dwarf of Pyongyang, will encourage his export of WMD technologies to other countries. Non-proliferation will become meaningless.

These are only a few of the problems that would result from a Kerry victory.

Neither we, nor the West, can afford to see him win.

So, in honor of George Bush, I leave you with this:
