PRESIDENT George W. Bush is by far the most qualified candidate for the presidency. After graduating from Yale University and voluntarily serving in the Air National Guard, President Bush went on to receive a Master's of Business Administration from Harvard. Following that he achieved great success in the world of business -- and his record high approval ratings show that he has done the same in his first term of office.
While in office, President Bush has greatly strengthened our nation: In addition to returning military spending to the point where we can rest easy, President Bush drew our nation together after the tragedy of Sept. 11 and successfully attacked and dismantled the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.
But destroying this key base was only the first step in his promise to combat terrorism. By assaulting Saddam Hussein's regime, President Bush removed a brutal dictator responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi citizens, as well as the persecution and oppression of countless others.
Most importantly, however, President Bush has taken bold and decisive action to restore our nation's economy. After raising public school standards, strengthening Social Security and initiating welfare reform, President Bush pushed through important tax cuts designed to return money to the pocketbooks of the American people. In doing so he restored our nation's faith in the economy and guaranteed a return to prosperity. As a result the economy grew 4 percent last quarter and has been growing for the last nine quarters.
His policies are effective and true, and there can be no doubt; President Bush is exactly the right man to lead America on into the 21st century.
