What we are up against - a typical Bush voting family speaks.

[derbstyron]

I culled this from a recent article in the St. Petersburg Times, published on Fri. They had reporters spend the night watching election returns with both a Bush family and a Kerry family.

I have included comments from the family that supports and voted for President Bush. I find their comments, with no great shock, totally devoid of any type of facts or rational thinking.

They are sad, terrifying (at least, in their ignorance, I find them so) and show the fight that we have.

"Bill, 51, and his wife, Alina, 39 stood in line for several hours to vote early for Bush. 'I didn't want to wait for Election Day in case there was a terrorist threat and they canceled the election,' Bill said.

Brittany, 14,a St Petersburg High School freshman, gets her news from Fox, newspapers and the Internet. 'I like Bush's site. I read the blog, the stuff they have their about Kerry, the discrepancies and things. The more I hear about Kerry, the shadier he looks.'

He (Bill) likes Bush's directness and folksy quality. He thinks the president is strong on terror, and Osama bin Laden's continued freedom doesn't bother him. 'It took them 20 years to find the Unabomber, and he lived here. How can you expect them to find one guy in a cave somewhere?'

When Brittany called out a new electoral vote total from the CNN site, Bill said, 'Don't pay any attention to that. CNN wouldn't give Bush the benefit of the doubt on a dare. They hate him. I watch Fox news,' he said. 'People say they're not fair and balanced, but every time they have a Democrat on, they have a Republican on with them, and the other way around.'

Bill wasn't surprised when North Carolina went into the Bush column. 'Edwards sued so many doctors that for a while women had to go out of state to get their babies delivered.'

But he also worried about the Republicans' apparent overall gain in the Senate. 'The Republicans are going to have too much power. I hope they don't abuse it. You have to have some balance.' "
