4 More Years

Being one of the few Bush supporters in the sea of blue Kerry supporters from the Cubs blogger Army I am happy to see George Bush re-elected as President. And re-elected by a wide margin in the popular vote as well.

Kerry has conceded the election, and my one wish from him is that he pursues terrorism issues just as hard when he returns to the Senate as he said he would do as President. He has 20 years of doing nothing, lets see if what he was talking about was the truth or was it just more pandering?

There also can be no more crying over spilt milk by the left. For four years the rally cry was, "selected, not elected." People liked to inform us that Gore was the real winner because he won the popular vote. Today these issues are dead. Today it vindicates the Republican party and Bush. Will conspiracy theories exist? Sure. But they wont be given nearly as much attention as they have been given over the last four years.

Right now the left has some serious soul searching to do. Their message did not resonate with the voters. Painting our terrorism/Afghanistan/Iraq effort as a failure clearly won over no one. The American public was not as stupid as the Democrats thought they were and saw through most of the pathetic attempts to bring down Bush.

On a side note...I found it amusing the two heavily pro-Kerry networks (CNN, CBS) refused to give Ohio to Bush. While FoxNews and NBC gave it to him. Flipping between the channels the Fox and NBC guys were saying that it would be impossible for Kerry to make up 130,000 vote margin in that state. While CBS and CNN were entertaining possibilities that Ohio was still in play. I can understand the fear over calling a state wrong like many did with Florida in 2000. But nothing like keeping hope alive until all hope is gone on those networks. They really did go down with the ship.
Not to mention that CNN and CBS were quick to award Wisconsin I believe to Kerry when only like 12,000 votes separated the two.

UPDATE: This notion about America being divided and needing to come together is true. I am sorry but Bush and the Republican party are not the ones creating the divide. It is up to the Democratic Party if they want to come back to the center and be taken seriously as a political party again. The American people sent the message loud and clear by re-electing Bush and for the 2nd straight term the Republican party gaining seats in the House and the Senate. The more the Democratic party's voice is hi-jacked by the Michael Moore's, Whoopi Goldberg's, and Moveon.org's the more elections they will lose. That includes believing in the stupid conspiracy theories that the left loves to come up with.

The reality is the center spoke and elected Bush. I am coming off as a huge Bush supporter and I am, but I realize he has flaws as well. If the Democratic Party stuck closer to the center and made Joe Lieberman the candidate, I probably would of voted for him. The Democrats pissed away an election to pander to the extremists. Because we could of had a change in this country if a guy like Lieberman was nominated. Kerry and Dean's message turned me off every time they tried to paint what was going on with the War on Terrorism as a failure and not worth it. In the end people voted their moral values. And providing freedom and opportunity to people in the middle east was a top priority for the American public. I am very happy about that.
