Germany’s largest newspaper, Bild, has endorsed President Bush’s re-election:
In sechs Tagen, am 2. November, hat Amerika die Wahl: George W. Bush oder John Kerry? Hier nennt BILD-Autor Hugo M?ller-Vogg seine zehn Gr?nde, warum es f?r Deutschland, die Welt und Amerika besser w?re, wenn George W. Bush Pr?sident bleibt*.
So we have Koizumi, Putin, Curt Schilling, Mike Timlin, Pedro Martinez, and Germany for Bush, and Arafat and Al Qaeda for Kerry. Interesting.
*In six days, on 2 November, America has a choice: George W. Bush or John Kerry? Bild publisher Hugo Mueller Vogg lists ten reasons why it would be better for Germany, the world and America, if George W. Bush remains president.
1. Bush has clear priorities.
2. Bush has learned that military strength is the only answer to fanatics.
3. Under Bush, the US will continue to bear the financial, military and casualty burden in the fight against terrorism.
4. Bush will do everything he can to prevent nuclear proliferation.
5. Bush has learned that America can defeat every country in war, but needs allies in peace. Thus, his second term will be characterized by cooperation with international partners.
6. Bush knows Europe is militarily weak, so he won’t ask them for help.
7. Under Bush, America will remain a strong partner for Israel in its fight for survival.
8. Republicans have always been stronger supporters of free trade than Democrats.
9. Every new American administration makes mistakes. Bush has already made his.
10. With Bush, we know what to expect. With Kerry, we don’t.

LOL!
1. Bush’s “clear priorities” have been a disaster for Americans.
2. Kerry already knew about military strength- Bush is still, in fact, in denial, as witnessed by the lies over the HMX looting. (Say how come you don’t get medieval on the conservative media for the “Russians” excuse, and the “2 truckds took all those explosives?”)
3. This excuse is a good thing for Americans???????
4. Uh, yeah. Musharriff is his bud, right?
5. Sheer speculation and imagination.
6. Europe is “militarily weak?” Compared to the mighty Fijians?
7. Somebody needs to get tough on Israel, even if Charles Krauthammer gets apoplectic and slides into paranoid psychosis.
8. “Free trade?” Yeah. Right.
9. Actually, 2nd terms for Presidents – especially Republican ones- tend to be far more disastrous than first terms- witness Nixon, Reagan. We might as well remove the diseased organ before it harms the health of the body politic now.
10. It’s because we know that Bush is not qualified that we’re booting him.
But thanks for illustrating just how weak the case is for legitimately electing Bush.
