    Elway, Malone, Nicklaus, Top Athletes Endorse Bush

    The following open letter was signed by 24 Olympians and professional athletes who have endorsed George Bush for President.




    Story Continues Below




    To our fellow Americans:

    We have given much thought to the values and characteristics that make a great athlete. Our lives have been spent trying to run farther, push further, and jump higher than the person beside us, or across the field of our chosen sport.


    With years of training and exhaustive compe ion beneath our belts, we have identified the values necessary to compete and win--values like personal strength, determination, a sense of fair play and faith.

    The same qualities that make a great athlete make a great President - he determination to do what is right, regardless of the latest polls, the personal strength to bear the weight of the nation on your shoulders, and the faith that a higher power will direct the actions of good people.


    We see in President Bush these same qualities.


    In 2001, our nation was attacked without cause or provocation. The President's values saw us through those dark days after the terrorist attack.


    The economy was rocked by the dual blows of the terrorists' cowardly action and the reckless disregard of the rules by a few rogue executives. But President Bush's decisive, principled leadership has moved America forward, and today our nation is safer and our economy is strong and getting stronger.


    The fight against terrorism takes decisiveness. It takes continued support for our troops and first responders. But most importantly, it takes courage and inspirational leadership in the White House. In these critical times, our President has had the courage to stand up and do what's right.


    For that and for his unwavering character, we choose George W. Bush as our President for the next four years. He is a leader we can depend on to make the tough decisions and the right decisions. Please join us in supporting a candidate of courage, President Bush--a leader who backs our troops defending our nation and shares our values.


    Sincerely,

    LOL! Anything that gets Bob Feller and Nolan Ryan on the same side of an issue must be a worthy cause...there is no love lost between those two.

    Incidentally, why again should we care what a bunch of athletes think, politically speaking? Aren't they just another type of famous person who should keep their opinions to themselves?

    exs, that's only if they're liberals. Conservative or patriotic athletes need to express their opinion more often so it doesn't give the impression that all athletes are rich out of touch liberals. Ditto Hollywood.

    Hahaha, I was wondering how Karl Malone hating Republicans would handle this. I have to put up with famous idiots like Whoopi Goldberg on the other side of the isle, so it's not all roses there.

    And, Duff, I'm a political science major and, trust me, it's as hard to get an honest, informed opinion out of them as it is anyone.

    And why wouldn't pro athletes support Bush? I mean they get the biggest tax break with bush in office. Bush helps the rich get richer and could give a about the middle-class to poor.
