Looks like President Bush pulled off a victory

Four more years of the same, good for us, bad for them, the terrorists that is. The single most important issue is the war and now we can continue it, hopefully to victory within the next four years. I was hoping for a larger margin, but considering the vote in 2000, 3-4 percent margin in the popular vote is not bad. Moreover we had an extremely large turnout, good for democracy in America no matter who wins.

I must also mention John Thune won in South Dakota; I can't tell you how much this means to me. I don't think I have ever seen a more duplicitous politician in Tom Daschle in my lifetime. On the one hand he obstructed Bush’s energy and homeland security bills; on the other hand he campaigns with the President’s effigy next to him. His campaign ads might give the impression he was a closet conservative, at least in his home state.

Lets not forget Zell Miller; a Democrat who loves is country. If the democrat party is to become effective again they will need more people like him. Patriotism doesn’t mean you can’t support social programs and Zell Miller is proof of this. I hope Senator Miller doesn’t fade from the scene, I hope the Bush administration will put this intelligent and skillful man to good use, people like Zell are needed in our country. I’ve said it before, if Zell was running against Bush the democrats would have won last night, and it wouldn’t have mattered, at least on the foreign front because our nation would have still been in good hands. I look forward to the day when both parties put forth candidates who love their country, and a victory for the other side only means domestic policy may shift.

The single biggest blow has to be to the internationalists. The election victory for Bush tells the world community we do have the will to fight, and we will not outsource our defense the UN. It’s time Kofi begins looking for a new job, preferably one making license plates in some dark dank cell somewhere.

I am thankful to Libertas for Bush’s victory.
