OUR BEST BET TO PROTECT AMERICA

PRESIDENT Bush de serves to be re- elected, for many reasons.
The economic downturn that he inherited has been reversed and his tax cuts have allowed the private sector to create jobs and put money to work. His focus on education led to the bipartisan passage of the No Child Left Behind standards that have improved schools nationwide.

His many hopes are backed with clear plans for our future, including further improvements to America's economy, education, health care and the legal system, and to do so in a way that continues to restore the Oval Office with the dignity it deserves.

But as a New Yorker, an American, a believer in the power of liberty ?— and as a father ?— I think the most important reason to re-elect the president is that he is the candidate best able to protect American from those who seek to harm us.

With a single stunning speech, delivered on Sept. 20, 2001 to a united American public and both houses of Congress, President Bush reversed 30 years of inconsistent and dangerously inadequate response to terrorism. He announced the Bush Doctrine ?— that this nation would no longer only play defense, passively awaiting the next terrorist strike but would go on the offensive.

Instead, we have dismantled an entire national incubator for global terrorism, arrested hundreds of imminent actors here and abroad, foiled several looming attack plans and removed from power a dictator who not only murdered thousands of his own people, but stood as a sponsor and symbol of world destabilization.

Regardless of the outcome of this election, for his swift, decisive, unwavering ?— and right ?— reaction to the greatest attack in American history, George W. Bush has earned a place as one of our greatest presidents.

With much left to accomplish, we owe it to America to re-elect President Bush.

They'll Do Anything Say Anything





They'll Do Anything
Why Democrats and the media think they're entitled to do whatever it takes to win this election.

THE SCARIEST THING about this election is not the prospect of a contested outcome with no winner declared for weeks, just as in 2000. No, the most scary thing is the sense of entitlement that many Democrats and their allies have about tomorrow's election. It goes like this: Bush stole the presidency four years ago, then proceeded to act as if he had a mandate, so now we're entitled to do whatever it takes to defeat him, to say whatever we want.

You see it in the bumper stickers that call for the ''re-defeat'' of President Bush. You see it in the destruction of Bush yard signs and posters all across the country. You see it in the harassment, at least in blue states, of anyone wearing a Bush pin or button. You see it in the hatred of Bush by his opponents, who think they're only venting righteous indignation.

You see it in the religious bigotry against the president, a born-again Christian, and against his conservative Christian supporters. Without any evidence, Bush's opponents accuse him of believing that he has a direct line to God and that God gives him instructions, such as when to invade Iraq, and that any criticism of him is illegitimate. You see the bigotry as well in the belittling of Christians who support Bush as if their political views have no standing or worth because they may have been influenced by their religious faith.

You see it in the now exposed plans of Democrats to claim intimidation of minority voters even if no intimidation actually occurs. You see it in the voter registration efforts by Democrats that have made the number of people on the voting rolls in some jurisdictions larger than the voting age population. You see it in the plans of Democratic lawyers to file lawsuits all over the country, challenging the outcome unless Bush is defeated.

You see that same sense of entitlement in elements of the national media--especially CBS News--who jettison the normal rules of journalism when Bush is the target. CBS not only rushed out with forged documents to torpedo the Bush campaign in September, the network intended to take another bite at Bush two days before the election by airing a dubious story about stolen explosives in Iraq. Would CBS have dared to do this against any other public figure but Bush? No.

And you see it in the victimization that is claimed for John Kerry. The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth? Anything they say about Kerry is automatically a smear and thus doesn't have to be examined or even considered. And Kerry has no obligation to answer questions about his Vietnam experience, though he's played it up in the campaign. Bush's record in the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam war, however, is fair game.

And you see the feeling of entitlement in comments by the Democratic candidates and their backers, who seem to feel they're free to say anything they want about Bush and Vice President Cheney. So we get the targeting of Mary Cheney as a lesbian and the criticism of Laura Bush for having worked in jobs that weren't real jobs. And when anyone accuses Democrats of debasing the campaign, the answer is always: it's Bush's fault. Bush is hardly without fault, but the shabby style and substance of this campaign is the fault of his opponents.

Kerry Stepson: Jewish Lobby Too

Kerry Stepson: Jewish Lobby Too Powerful

John Kerry's stepson, Chris Heinz, complained at a recent campaign stop that Jews have too much influence on the U.S. presidential election.


''One of the things I've noticed is the Israel lobby,'' the ketchup heir said, in quotes picked up Sunday by the New York Post. Heinz complained that Israel was being treated as ''the 51st state, sort of a swing state.''

In more overheated rhetoric first reported by Philadelphia magazine, Heinz called Bush supporters ''our enemies'' and said that if he ran his stepfather's campaign, the attacks on President Bush would get even uglier.

''We didn't start out with negative ads calling George Bush a cokehead,'' Heinz reportedly explained before adding, ''I'll do it now.''

Asked later about the comment, Heinz turned sarcastic, saying: ''I have no evidence. He never sold me anything.''

Fox News anchor joked about bin Laden wearing Kerry button

The Kerry campaign is fuming about Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto's comment that he thought he saw a Kerry-Edwards button on Osama bin Laden in the recent videotape of the terror leader.

According to CBS News, Cavuto, who the network says has contributed to President Bush, made the crack Friday following the broadcast of bin Laden's new videotaped message meant for the American people.

A guest on Cavuto's business show, ''Your World,'' reportedly said the tape was not an endorsement of Kerry.

Cavuto responded: ''He's all but doing that. I thought I saw a button.''

The Boston Globe reported John Sasso, a Kerry aide, threatened to kick a Fox producer off the Democrat's campaign plane unless an apology was issued. The threat eventually was dropped.

''It was an outrageous comment that should never been made, at a time when America's national security is at stake,'' Kerry spokeswoman Stephaine Cutter told the Globe.

Paul Schur, a spokesman for Fox, told the Washington Post: ''The matter has been resolved and we continue to travel with Kerry.''
