BAGHDAD HOTEL RESIDENTS GIVE BUSH EDGE ON SECURITY ISSUES
By Stockton
In a recent poll, the occupants of the Baghdad Hotel prefer President Bush over John Kerry by a margin of almost two-to-one. The decisive factor in their decision was terrorism and safety. When asked who would do a better job of keeping them safe, 60% of the respondents thought President Bush would do a better job, 20% said John Kerry, while Ralph Nader and Saddam Hussein each received 10%.*
"I just feel safer with President Bush," said Yusef Hamid, as he rummaged through his room looking for sterile bandages. "This Kerry, will he help me get sandbags to protect my room? Will he hire people to collect arms and legs after explosions so the neighborhood doesn't look like Beirut?"

Hamid is not alone in his feelings. A visit to the hotel's infirmary revealed dozens of Bush supporters, terrified at the prospect of a Kerry Presidency. "I've already lost three limbs," said Kamil "Dubya" Zirqua. "I don't want to lose a fourth. Viva la Bush!"
When it comes to security, Bush is their man.
