To vote for Bush/Cheney you have to believe that...

Now that we have more enemies, we are safer.

People making more than $200,000 a year used their tax cuts to create more jobs in America, because they don't have investment advisers to point out how much higher the yields are for investing their money overseas.
 
Now that our traditional allies don't trust us, we are safer.
 
The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches, send them into conflicts with poor planning on the basis of politicized intelligence, cut veterans' benefits and combat pay, reduce services to their families, prevent them from leaving the service when their term of duty is up, protect the oil fields, ignore the weapons caches, declare victory, and then don't read the newspapers.

Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy.  Providing health care to all Americans is socialism.

A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.

States with the largest cities and populations, the most ports and airports, the greatest concentration of chemical and nuclear plants, and the most coastline, are solidly Kerry because they believe that Kerry will not do all he can to prevent future terrorist attacks.
 
States in the middle of the country, the most likely terror targets (go look at an electoral map), want Bush because his skilled use of military power, intelligence, building alliances, and telling the United Nations that it is irrelevant, have made them feel safer.
 
Saddam was good when Reagan armed him against Iran, bad when Bush's father made war on him, good again when Cheney did business with him between wars, and the worst threat to America as soon as Bush Two needed a "we can't find Bin Laden" diversion.

Osama Bin Laden was good when Reagan armed him against the Soviet Union, a distraction from impeachment proceedings when Bill Clinton bombed his training camps in Afghanistan, the worst man in the world after 9-11, and "not very important" now that we've failed to catch him.
 
Admitting mistakes and having dialogue with anybody who doesn't agree with your policies will weaken our democracy and our nation.
 
Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.

Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals, Planned Parenthood, peace activists, Christopher Reeves, Kerry/Edwards, and public schools.
 
If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.

Oil companies and HMOs, insurance and pharmaceutical lobbies, all have the best interests of the public at heart.

Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, so creationism should be taught in schools.
 
Judges who support Roe v Wade are "activist judges," but judges who decide which votes to count are upholding the constitution.
 
Lawyers are bad, unless they're your lawyers, and helping you suppress new voter registrations.
 
Education will solve the problem of American jobs being outsourced overseas, just ask any recent college graduate.

Working with Senator Kennedy to pass No Child Left Behind, and then not fully funding it, was because of the president's commitment to public education, not private and faith-based education.
 
A president with "bad character" lies about an extramarital affair.  A president with "good character" lies to enlist support for a war in which thousands die.

Kerry is a flip-flopper, but Bush's multiple positions on the assault weapons ban, the reason we invaded Iraq, nation building, stem cell research, steel tarriffs, the 9-11 commission, and now perhaps even civil unions, is just an evolution of his views.
 
That democracy should be brought to other countries, but needs to be firmly opposed in Florida and Ohio.

George W. Bush is a uniter, not a divider, and the war on terror has provided him an opportunity to prove this by driving away traditional allies, driving a wedge between the American people, and generally squandering the unity and international support that existed after 9-11.

Bush is best equipped to protect us from terrorism, even though 9-11 happened on his watch after intelligence briefings warned of such an attack.

If we can't drill in Alaska, there is no solution to our energy needs.
 
Solar, wind, hydrogen, and other alternative energies are "girlie man" energy sources.  Real men are all about oil.
 
Homosexuals, not domestic violence, are the greatest threat to the family.

Somebody who fought in Vietnam and then came home and opposed the war because of what he experienced there is less of a patriot than somebody who avoided going to Vietnam altogether.  
 
Patriotism is a willingness to send other folks' sons and daughters to die on foreign soils, even though you would never have done that yourself, and would never let your own kids go.
 
Chaos in the Middle East is okay, because it hastens the end of time.
