The election of Nov. 2 was an enormous win for conservative America, much greater than the 3.5 million popular vote margin and much greater than the 30 some electoral vote margin. The opposition arrayed against us was formidable and our liberal opponents used some very dishonest, very immoral tactics in their failed attempt to retake the Capitolian Hill. We, (G. Bush, R. Limbaugh and I) soundly defeated the cumulative efforts of Democrats, the left-wing media, the unions, Hollywood and its dishonest movie-making ability, Germany, France, Russia (to a lesser extent), Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Yassar Arafat, sundry militants, revolutionaries, environmental hypocrites, that pot-bellied, beady-eyed guy in North Korea and the treacherous Cofi Annan.

Kerry and the Democrats defeated themselves. It was not so much the moral, family values brought to the fray by Republicans as it was the repugnant, immoral behavior which Democrats have attempted to foist on this nation since the days of Lyndon B. Johnson most notably during the Clinton years. When Kerry marched to the podium at the Democratic convention and declared himself to be a Vietnam war hero, he told us all we needed to know about him that he was a vacuous flip-flopper.

The truth here is, President Bush had already pre-empted all the high presidential ground by acting presidential in his first term. All that Kerry had left was this la-la- land claim that losing in Nam was winning and he was the heroic winner.
