If bin Laden had the backing of the OILM he is a lock for at least 48% of the vote. He would be lauded for his decisive action in bringing down the towers and would be lauded as a "freedom fighter", standing up for the disenfranchised everywhere.

Last spring all I knew of Kerry was that he was a stuffed shirt from Mass. Then some clueless talking head was bragging about 4 months being 2 Tours!

I don't know that I knew the final outcome but I certainly knew what I had to do.

Although I had several times of worry throughout the campaign, they were always met by prayer that brought a sense of peace and a surety that the good man -- George Bush -- would be elected.

However, my first 'inkling' that kerry was sunk came when I was channel surfing and happened to see John O'Neill being interviewed on the 700 Club by Pat Robertson. (I am fairly religious but I never watch Pat Robertson... this was a serendipity and after that I looked for a couple of weeks on tv before anybody else interviewed John O'Neill and then I found this website -- what a blessing!)

But as I listened to John speak on behalf of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth that first time and tell about their experience with John Kerry, I felt a wave of compassion come over me for Kerry (sorry, but that's what I felt) because I KNEW what O'Neill was saying was the truth; I knew it was all over for Kerry and I knew it would go down hard for him because of his narcissistic personality (among other things).

We have not seen the end of him yet and my husband and I are grateful that Navy Chief et. al. are proceeding with everything they've got to remove kerry from public office and from the possibility of his ever holding public office again. The man is a menace. He will have a lot of repenting to do if he ever wakes up to the truth; don't know if it'll happen in this world tho...

I didn't know until after Ohio was called. I was "duped" by a combination of following the early exit polls and I was following a on-line betting site that was betting BIG on Kerry for most of the day (exit polls) that coupled with a few bogus pollsters giving Kerry the nod, I lost my gripe.

This site brought me back to reality.

After the first Swift Vet ad hit the air I believed that President Bush would win.
On Monday morning I woke (very early) with the urgent need to pray. The same was true on Tuesday morning. I was in Ohio assisting with the poll observers/challengers. I did not have access to any media. I called my mother late in the day and asked what was on the news. After hearing that Hannity was urging people to get to the polls, (I knew that turnout was extremely, record breaking heavy) I was worried --- and again started to pray. During a few spare minutes I opened my Bible and stumbed across some passages that seem to describe President Bush. I was overwhelmed with a great sense of calm. (Another person in our group tells a similar story regarding Tuesday).

My mother also told me her Southern Baptist neighbor had out a rosary and was praying Hail Marys.

After this I believed that everything would be okay. God would use all things for good.

I knew things would be okay when I saw the preliminary results for Columbus, Ohio --- President Bush was slightly ahead with over half the precincts reported -- I knew that if the Ohio Republican Party was able to stay that close to Kerry then Ohio was won for President Bush.

I went to the Ohio Republican Party watch party and had a gleeful night --

I just knew that Kerry would never be President. It just couldn't happen. That's what I kept thinking as they did all their scams. I was shocked at how dangerous they are. I was shocked at how controlled the American people are by the media and how controlled the media is by the extreme Left.
I never stopped believing that President Bush would win. I did allow some questioning if God's way may be unexpected and that a bigger gain may be through the US having to fight for their own democracy...again. Those moments were in prayer. I wasn't always brave though, as the media could scare the beejeebees out of me. I turned it off and stayed focused. As I wrote before, Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off your goal. And Fear is what you feel.

Never Ever Kerry

God must have used the same method on many of us. By early Tuesday morning I was pretty worn down physically from fasting. I woke up shivering even though I had many covers over me. I started praying again and almost immediately I was warm, at peace and I knew. I ignored the news all day and came to this sight in the evening to follow FL and OH. I am really thankful for the expert inputs of ord and angle who were able to explain what was happening.

I understood that this could go either way...and I saw the early polls, and what's her name on Brit, smiling saying the exit polls showed Kerry sweep, etc. . I prayed for guidance. Then, I prayed only to do God's will. That his will be expressed. I didn't pray for Bush to win, only for God's will to be expressed in truth.

I said the Lord's prayer over and over, with emphasis on THY WILL BE DONE, not mine. Then, I sat down to watch the election results as they started coming in and stayed up all night.

When it was over, I bowed my head, closed my eyes and said, "thy will be done". Amen.

I "knew" when I started learning the truth...thanks to Mr. O'Neill and his shipmates.

I knew in September of 03. The anniversary of 911 got me worried about the next year's election. I prayed before going to bed and woke up knowing Bush would get a solid win. I stayed with that all through the doubts and panic that some of the polls brought. Even the early exit polls favoring Kerry did not deter me a whit.

Needless to say I gave thanks to Father Wednesday morning.
