This Presidential Race Has Never Been Neck and Neck By Debbie Daniel October 27, 2004
How about defining it as being cut off at the knees . . . and then told to run? How about hands tied behind the back . . . and then expected to lead the nation? Now I know why George Bush calls on the name of Jesus.
George Bush has been brought to his knees since Al Gore called him back on election night 2000 to say, "I've changed my mind, I'm not conceding the race." And from that point on . . . we've never been more divisive.
It was definitely a battle over control, and the Democrats were not about to give it up; even though the Florida recounts - still to this day - confirm that George Bush won. The "Dems" refuse to believe it, thus the nation is, and will forever be, at the mercy of this self-inflicted "disenfranchised delusional thinking." That's where we are.
Let's listen to some real statesman-like behavior with the liberal vice-presidential candidate, John Edwards, saying, "You've lost your mind if you vote for George Bush" . . . and Senator Joe Biden calling the President of the United States "Brain Dead."
It's alright for these leaders to make such tasteless inferences toward a sitting president, but when the president was on the campaign stump and said that John Kerry was not prepared and ill-equipped to be Commander-in-Chief, Tim Russert of NBC's Meet the Press jumped on it saying, "Is that Fair? Why Mr. Kerry is a decorated war hero and has served in the Senate for 20 years."
When I heard Mr. Russert make such a defiant defense of the Senator, I knew clearly what our President was up against. It's so blatant!
Mr. Russert, is it fair that John Kerry put the lives of U.S. prisoners of war in peril by announcing to the Viet Cong they were murderers? Oh, I won't even go there.
George Bush did not divide this country . . . it has been a calculated effort on the part of liberals and the mainstream media who have incited division. It's "deliberate division" . . . well thought-out and executed. Think about it. "Come hail or high water," they will not work with George Bush. They're making sure to cut the wedge between us even deeper.
It's a division that has no recourse. If Abraham Lincoln's legacy was that he saved the nation in a time of civil war while invoking the name of God many times . . . how do you do it with an "un-civil" nation who refuses to hear God's name mentioned in public?
We may get a handle on terrorism, and we may conquer brutal dictators, but we may never again know a life of civility once enjoyed, embraced, lived and loved to its fullest in this land we hold so dear.
We have freedom of speech, but even that freedom will soon become our bondage. . . just wait and see.
George Bush has been brought to his knees on many occasions: by one, Dan Rather of CBS, who willingly sought to topple this President single-handedly by presenting forged papers against him; by Ted Koppel of ABC, definitely against the President, determined to defend the testimony of a group of communists in North Vietnam who dispute the words of 254 of our finest American veterans - and Mr. Koppel wants us to believe the communists; by Hollywood with the likes of Matt Damon who would give millions of dollars to get Bush out of office; by Broadway who produced a play entitled "How to Assassinate the President;" and on and on it goes as Mr. Bush is called murderer, liar, cheat, an abysmal failure; but don't dare call Mr. Kerry "ill-equipped." And Tim Russert questions fairness?
And then to really confuse things, along comes John Kerry who decides he wants to be just like George . . . yes, George W. Bush. It almost sounds and feels like the "I want to be like Mike" commercials. He wants to be like George!
Why just last week John "FAITH" Kerry found religion like never before. Does George Bush's faith inspire him, or is he just covering all his bases?
He has said over and over throughout the campaign that a person's faith is private and personal, but he decided to share it with the world. Hallelujah! The man has finally decided he did want to share his faith before he didn't want to share it.
Actually, it's heartening that he does want to share his faith, but he was just a bit more conspicuous with it, especially after the Democrats have "damned" the President for "acting like the Pope" and "wearing his religion on his sleeve."
Ah, but when John Kerry wants to share his faith, we all listen.
His message was quite inspiring: "Everything you do in life is part of your faith . . . I grew up a Catholic . . . I was an altar boy. I will bring my faith with me to the White House and it will guide me," said Mr. Kerry.
Thanks for sharing, John.
Mr. Bush has been labeled a "lone voice in the wilderness." He's been accused of creating a division, a diversion, a disenfranchisement . . . let's see, what else can be blamed on him?
I believe the polls are starting to show that the American people have caught on to this "liberal lunacy."
As we see Mr. Bush brought to his knees by all these opposing groups - just note that he continues to bow his head in reverence while on them. George Bush has told us: "I'm a patient man."
So, it's not "neck & neck" - it is a "lone voice" crying out for God to protect this nation, while an "Army of Americans" have their whips out everyday to beat him down.
But even when brought to his knees with his hands tied behind his back, and I'm sure a threat on his life every single day . . . he's still in the lead. Now that's miraculous!
For all of you who find it abhorrent that I continue to speak of George Bush's faith and chastise me for doing so . . . I say: "You've missed something very special in the strength of this man. You've missed more by not experiencing the source of his strength.
And lastly: I wish for you God's richest blessings on your life. God bless us all as we move forward to choose a man to lead us.
May your choice be God's choice at such a time as this . . . I can't imagine it any other way.

I agree with you in this sense -- the coarseness and viciousness that currently characterize American politics are two of the legacies of the Clinton years.
Excellent!
After Kerry said over 1000 times he has a plan, those words have suddenly subsided. I guess he never had a plan?
Fantastic.
You know I was raised Catholic but haven't been to "church" since my Mother-in-law passed away 2 years ago. But I keep Jesus in my heart and accept very much that Jesus is my Savior.
I'm not a church-goer but I pray everyday...and include the President in my prayers every night.
I am afraid for our nation with John Kerry as President. Our media has crossed a very dangerous line. Pravda and CBS et. al have more in common than difference. During such a dangerous time I fear our country bowing to the command of the corrupt United Nations.
I pray for George W. Bush and pray for victory.
Spoken from the heart, and beautiful.
We're praying for Bush every day.
A wonderful column. Thanks for posting it.
Never saw or heard anything of the sort but I made my point.
That's exactly what I believe will happen, I look foreward to all the sad faces on election night, I still believe in our people.
You're right about the MSM, they will NEVER recover from their shameless bias, and that's a good thing.
I'm with you there...from your nightly prayers for Pres. Bush, to your fear for the nation if Kerry wins. I completely agree with you.
Isn't a "POLL" really the news organization CREATING news?
I always thought News organizations should simply report what has happened in the world and not create news.
When they create...we get forged/unauthentic documents...stories used to damage candidates position etc...
Just report the news and LET us decide without all the analysis please.
If that's the case, then they snookered me but good!
Let me suggest something: I think the MSM and their biased push-polling will continue through the weekend in the hope that the right combination of faudulent poll results and news events will ignite into a swing for Kerry. That's their hope. But I don't believe it will happen. I wouldn't be surprise if the MSM has some "October surprise" in their back pocket which actually favors Bush, and then they can explain a "late surge" for the President and a comfortable win by him on Tuesday as being the result of this turn in the news. It will be a face-saver for them.
".I always thought News organizations should simply report what has happened in the world and not create news. ."
If you're old enough you might actually remember a time when news was exactly that. The factual happenings of the day. Good and bad. AND TRUE! Nothing more nothing less with no spin and no personal opinions inserted.
And just how are we supposed to know what the actual internal numbers are?? I'm not being sarcastic, I really don't know!! I hope and pray for a Bush victory daily but I fret over poll numbers that show Kerry just might steal this election.
We need a righteous man in the White House and George W Bush is that man. But we all know the forces arrayed against the righteous, both seen and unseen. We all know that the world is sliding into darkness at a ever increasing rate. How can we be assured that we are being lied to when ever major poll shows the candidates are tied?
Please help assure a very un-confident freeper that all will be well.
AMEN!!!
Amen Great stuff, thanks for the post.
GWB and America will previal, despite the fiendish Demonrats and their attempt at a Media coup d’état.
As we see Mr. Bush brought to his knees by all these opposing groups - just note that he continues to bow his head in reverence while on them. George Bush has told us: "I'm a patient man."
"Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers him out of them all" Psalm 35:19
Arise O Lord and defend your faithful servant. We give YOU Thanks LORD for the MIGHTY VICTORY on the horizon.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!
