Voters resistant to change during war

WASHINGTON — Americanshaveneverchangedpresidentsinthemidstofawar.Thistimewasnodifferent. They stuck with AbrahamLincoln in1864during theCivilWar when he urged them notto changehorsesinthemiddle ofthe stream.They re-e l e c t e dF r a n k l i nRoosevel tin1944dur-ing WorldWarII.Theystayed with Richard Nixon in1972 during the Vietnam War.And, in the first election sincethe United States was attackedon its own soil in 2001, andwith men now fighting in IraqandAfghanistan,theystayedwithPresidentBush. Bushwasre-electedbecauseheconvincedthecountryhewasa forceful and morally centeredcommander-in-chief who wouldsafeguardthecountrybetterthanhis opponent, Sen.

Bush waged his campaignwith a certitude bordering onswagger, steely discipline anda relentless attack that kept thecountry’s focus as much onKerry’s record as his own. Bushnever enjoyed broad support.Only half the country approvedofthewayhehandledthejob. Buthesoenergizedthathalf,and cast enough doubts aboutKerry, it was enough to win ina nation that remained closelydivided, culturally and political-ly.

How Hawai`i voted Nationwide electoral

(270 needed)

Bush 45.27% 274

Kerry 54.01% 252

nearly 5-1. Among Protestants who attend religious services at least once a week, Bush won by 3-2, and by 2-1 for those who attend more than once weekly. He won among men, whites, married people, those who make more than $50,000 a year, military veterans, Protestants and Roman Catholics. He carried 84 per-cent of conservatives and 93 percent of Republicans. He split the inde-pendents evenly with Kerry. He lost among women, blacks, Hispanics, singles, those who make less than $50,000 a year, Jews, union mem-bers and those who never attend religious services. More than political strategy or tactics, Bush’s victory was born in the days after Sept. 11, 2001. After a shaky start, he led the nation in mourning, calmed its nerves and ral-lied an international effort to attack the al Qaeda terrorist network and the hard-line Islamic Taliban regime that harbored it in Afghanistan. In the post-Sept. 11 world, Americans shifted their view of what they wanted in a leader. They no longer looked for “I-feel-your-pain” empathy, which helped Bill Clinton win the presidency twice in the 1990s, those seemingly peaceful and prosperous years between the Cold War and the Sept. 11 attacks. Instead, they sought strength. The soccer moms of the 1990s gave way to the security moms of the 2000s. “When people feel uncer-tain, they’d rather have someone strong and wrong than weak and right,” Clinton himself observed in a speech to his party in late 2002. Bush framed the election choice as hinging on strength and consistency, values he reinforced by refusing to admit any mistakes. He was aided by a challenger who often appeared to change positions, particularly on the Iraq war. Kerry voted to authorize the war, later called it poorly run, then

From page 2

Bush: Voters relate to Bush’s values

said he would vote again to authorize it even knowing that troops would find no weapons of mass destruc-tion there, then criticized it as the “wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time.” He voted to authorize spending $87 billion on Iraq and Afghanistan if it were financed by rolling back tax cuts for the wealthy — effectively a tax hike — then voted against the final appropriation when it would be financed by debt instead. In a comment that would haunt him for months, he explained, “I actually voted for the $87 billion before I voted against it.” Bush managed to make the election more a referendum on Kerry than on his own record. There was little mystery to the president’s goal of shifting atten-tion. While the economy was grow-ing fairly well over the past year, job creation remained weak and the country had not fully recovered from the shocks of 2001. Bush was the first president since Herbert Hoover to end his first term with a net loss of jobs. Moreover, continuing violence in Iraq and the deaths of more than 1,100 Americans there led to shrink-ing support for his war. “There was enough concern about Bush that voters could have been persuaded to move to a stronger leader,” Jeffe said. Yet most of the campaign seemed to turn more on Kerry than on Bush. Consider the crucial stretch between the political conventions. Kerry spent most of the Democratic National Convention talking about his record as a combat veteran in

Vietnam, boosting his standing as a potential commander-in-chief more than tearing down Bush’s cre-dentials. Then a Republican-allied group of Vietnam veterans spent August criticizing Kerry’s antiwar protests and challenging his medals. Kerry did not respond. Next, Bush spent about half his own convention talking about Kerry, in particular criticizing his Senate votes against weapons systems and tax cuts. In many battleground states, a plurality of voters had negative impressions of Kerry, polls for Knight Ridder and MSNBC found. “They managed to trump the president’s record and make the race about Kerry,” said Tony Fabrizio, a Republican pollster who is not affiliated with the Bush campaign. “Kerry gave them a lot of material to work with.” Finally, Bush played to the conservative side of the coun-try and it paid off, particularly in rural and small-town America. His message of conservative cultural values was wrapped in his strong religious faith and punctuated by his opposition to gay marriage. In the heartland states across the South, the Midwest and the Mountain West, Bush worked to complete the transition Ronald Reagan started a generation earlier of voters who were Democratic by tradition but now Republican by inclination. For many, moral issues and family values topped such issues as health care and jobs, and they went overwhelmingly for Bush. His message of strength in national defense — coupled with denun-ciations of Kerry as weak—_ also played well in rural areas and small towns across most of the country. Said Bush pollster Matthew Dowd: “They feel the president reflects their values.”

Hannemann wins tight mayor race

Ka Leo Staff

Mufi Hannemann won the Honolulu mayoral race against can-didate Duke Bainum in an emo-tional come-from-behind victory yesterday. Hannemann, who had advanced to the general elections in second place after losing the primary to Bainum, beat his opponent by a little more than 1,000 votes. Final results, which had Hannemann defeating Bainum 49.3 percent to 48.8 percent, weren’t available until 5 a.m. yesterday. As Hannemann and Bainum waited for the results at their head-quarters late Tuesday night, officials with the state’s Office of Elections

learned that a batch of more than 5,000 last-minute absentee ballots still needed to be counted. The dead-line set under federal law for absen-tee ballots is 6 p.m. on election day. Fifteen city clerk officials checked signatures of mail-in-bal-lots while some 12 workers tran-scribed about 200 faxed ballots into machine-readable ballots, election officials said. There was a surge in requests of absentee forms from 49,000 in the primary to 70,000 for the gen-eral, according to election officials. Statewide voter turnout also increased from previous elections to 66.7 percent.

One of the greatest KodakmomentsinAmericanpoliticalhis-tory occurred on Nov. 3, 2003, at1:40 p.m. EST, when Dear LeaderDubya signed the Partial BirthAbortionBanAct.Alongwithnineother members of the so called“master race,” he declared partialbirthabortions illegal.There reallyisnothinglikewatchingabunchofpeopleIdidn’tvoteforandsureasheckdon’t support tellingmewhatIcanorcan’tdowithmybody.Asaproductofafeministhousehold,Ifeelifyoudon’thaveauterus,youdon’thavearighttotellmewhattodowithmine.Noneofthosepeopleon that stagehaveFallopian tubes.I do. Therefore, it’s none of theirdamnbusinesswhatIdowithwhatismybirthright. According to the bill, partialbirthabortionisthedeliveryofthefetus “until, in the case of a head-

first presentation, the entire fetalhead is outside the body of themother,or,inthecaseofthebreechpresentation, any part of the fetaltrunk past the navel is outside thebodyof themotherfor thepurposeof performing anovert act that thepersonknowswillkill thepartiallydeliveredlivingfetus.” Bush evidently also feels theFrench pill RU-486, a pill thatcauses a purposeful miscarriage inthe early stages of pregnancy isabortion.HealsoaddedatanIowanews conference on Jan. 20, 2000,that “Roe vs. Wade was a reach,it overstepped the Constitutionalbounds, as far as I’m concerned.”Does this linemean thenBushhasactuallyreadtheentireConstitution?I suppose I’m not giving his intel-ligence enough credit then. But ifthis situation is the case, then whydid Sen. John Kerry say this lawwas“astepbackwardsforwomen”?Why would former Vermont Gov.HowardDean,aphysician,saythislaw would “chill the practice ofmedicine and endanger the healthof countless women?” Further,why would Connecticut Sen. JoeLiebermancallita“triumphforthepolitical agenda of the Republicanparty?” Even retired Gen. WesleyClark said this law threatened totake us back “to the dark daysbeforeRoev.Wade.” Thelawallowsforthreeexcep-tions,ifthewomanhasbeenraped,when delivery may jeopardize her

life, or when incest is involved.WhenIfirstheardtheseexceptions,I thought, well, it’s a fairly lenientlaw to allow for these situations.However,aboutaminutelateraftersome contemplation, it suddenlydawned on me the Bush Mentalitywassettingin.SincewhendidsomemanhavetherighttotellmethatIcouldn’t have an abortion becauseof unforeseen circumstances? Ididn’t want to have a child, butthere was a faulty condom in thebox,mybirthcontrolpillsranoutafewweeksearlierandIdidn’tknowyou had to wait a certain amountoftimeafterrestartingthembeforeengaging in the love dance, etc.There are too many reasons, toomany situations to ever be able tomake a law forbidding an abor-tion. Life moves pretty fast as weallknow.A lifestyle thatmayhavesupportedthebirthofachildinthethird month may change to a lifewhereachildisoutofthequestionamonthorsolater. Thisbattlefortheinherentrightofwomenbeganlongago.Themostmemorable milestone occurred onJan. 22, 1973, when Roe v. Wade

was ruled upon. “Jane Roe” wasactuallyNormaMcCorvey,whoonDec. 13, 1971, and Oct. 11, 1972,challenged the criminal abortionlaws in Texas. The law in Texasat the time stated abortion wasillegalunless thewoman’s lifewasin danger. Her attorney was SarahWeddington, who, on both occa-sions fought for her client. Thedefendant of the anti-abortionlaws was Henry Wade, the TexasAttorney General at the time. Hislawyer was Jay Floyd, primarily,and Robert Flowers, secondarily.Sincethelawallowingforabortionswaspassed,morethanfortymillionwomen have undergone abortionsand currently more than 1,365,000millionwomenhaveabortions. Fortymillionwomen.That’salotofpissed-offwomenthatwouldbe walking around right now. Mr.President, are you sure you wanttobeleadinganationofthatmanyextra hostile women? You know,they say “hell hath no fury like awoman scorned.” There’s a lot oftruth in that idea. Perhaps beforeyou signed this bill, you shouldhave allowed doctors that performsecondandthirdtrimesterabortionsto testify before Congress, maybeall of you males may have gainedsome insight into a pretty painfuland awkward time in a woman’slife. When Bill Clinton was serv-ing his presidency, he vetoed twosimilarbillsthatBushlaterpassed.I don’t think he was particularly

attuned to women anymore thanany other president, but he at leastrecognized the arguments of pro-choice. See, I believe if George W.Bush was Georgette Bush and wasthe proud owner of a uterus, anda predominantly male Congresswaspredominantlyfemale,wemayneverhavehadtoseethefatefuldayof the bill signing. It only makessensewhenyouconsidertheWhiteHouse,SenateandHouseseemedtobeperfectlysettledwiththeideaofsendingAmericansintowaraslongastheirfamilymembersdonothavetoserve. Hippocrates, c.460 BCE ofChios, was the father of organizedmedicine. His students all had toswear an oath before they wereofficiallydeemedphysiciansto“dono harm.” Who is being harmednow? Bush is under no such oathasheneverattendedadayofmedi-cal school, but as someone who isallegedly leading the free world,one should wonder, who exactly ishe trying to help? By sending ourfamilies, friends and close onesoff to a “fictitious war,” he is kill-

ing many who would otherwise beservicing this nation. Many lovedoneshavelefttoneverreturnduetoanunnecessarywarbyanunelectedpresident, yet he is also “savinglives”of thoseunborn.IshetryingtomakeanewnationofonlyBushlovers?Howcanwecondemnabor-tionononehandwhenontheotherwearescootingoutsoldierstodie? Thepopulationof theworld iswell over the sustainable limit.Weare actively destroying nature justby living out our every day lives.Therearenaturalchecksandbalanc-esintheworld.Thepathofhumanprogress is destined to always finda way of balance, the idea of yinand yang perpetually solidifying.Abortion is a choice, and regard-lessofthematteroflegality,itwillalways remain a choice. If womendonothavetheoptionofasafeandsterile operation, they will kill thechild themselves, even if it meanstheir life also hangs in the bal-ance.I’veheardofwomenstabbingtheir bellies with knitting needles,women cutting into themselves orthrowingthemselvesdownstairstohave a miscarriage. With that kindof determination no one will beable to dissuade the mother-to-be.Aswithallweightyissues, thereismuch controversy, yet to outrightban the operation is foolhardy andmyopic.

See, I believe if George W. Bush was Georgette Bush and was the proud owner of a uterus, and a predominantly male Congress was predominantly female, we may never have had to see the fateful day of the bill signing.

Whenitcomestothesubjectof legalizing abortion, I’m Pro-Choice. My motivations for sup-porting that stance have to dealwithhealthconcerns.Inthepast,illegalabortionswereoftenriskyand unsafe, and many womendieddue tocomplicationscausedby botched procedures after thesurgery. I do not want that onmyconscience,soIsupportlegalabortions that are done in safe,cleanenvironments. However, I can sympathizewith the pro-lifers’ viewpointbecause a fetus is a developing,unbornbaby.Whenyouabortthatfetus, you’re basically terminat-ing the fetus’development intoahuman baby. Now a fetus is dif-ferentfromahumaneggorspermasit’sagrowingcreature.SoI’mnotveryfondoftheargumentthatsaysafetusisnomorealivethana little sperm. You don’t needto take away the unborn child’shumanity. WhileIunderstandthemod-erate pro-lifer’s beliefs, I havenosympathyfor thosewho thinkthatkillingpeopleorbombinganabortion clinic is a great way tosolve the abortion problem. Firstof all, it makes your side looklike a bunch of violent terror-ists. Negative stereotypes won’tget you new followers. It alsogivesyouropponentsammunitionto get potential recruits over totheir side, which leads us to theultimate reason why violent actsagainst pro-choicers are not agood idea.As I wrote in an ear-lierarticle,violencedoesn’tsolveeverything.Ifsomebodyisattack-ing you physically, then beingviolent will solve that problem.However,ifnobodyisevengoingattack you, then hurting peoplewillmakethingsworse.

However, abortion is onlyone of the methods used to dealwith a subject that affects manywomen: unplanned pregnancy.Simply ignoring the problem orusingascapegoatwillnotmakeitgoaway.It’smuchbettertostudythe problem and tackle it headon. But there is another unpleas-antfactorthatcomesup:thefreewill of the woman the activistsare fighting for. If she wants tohaveunprotectedsex,evenifsheknowsabouttherisksandhasaneasyaccesstobirthcontroldevic-es, then she will do it. Now thischoicedoesn’tmakeherevilorawhore,butitdoesshowthatsheismakinganirresponsibledecision.As much as we may not want toadmit it, we aren’t always ableto convince people that takingpreventive measures is for theirowngood.Wemaynotbeabletocontrol the actions of others, butwecancontrolourownactions. I still think that the bestmethods to reduce abortions areeducationandfreeaccesstobirthcontrol devices. Now there’snothing wrong with wanting tohavekids,butpeopleshouldthinkabout how many they want tohave.Overpopulationisaseriousproblem that we need to thinkaboutandaddress.Nobodywantsto suffer through overcrowding,whichwillcausealackofimpor-tantsupplies like foodandmedi-cine.Oneofourmainfaultsisourinabilitytoseethelong-termben-efitsofaplandueourownbiasesand prejudices.As the wise mansays:Befruitfulandmultiply,butmake sureyoudo itwithagrainofcommonsense.

80-year-old Hawai`i Theatre still standing

By Aslinda AliKa Leo Staff Writer

Built by the Consolidated Amusement Company, the historic Hawai‘i Theatre was unveiled Sept. 6, 1922, in downtown Honolulu, earning the title "Pride of the Pacific." The theatre, designed by Architects Emory and Webb, was one of the most modern theatres in the nation. It was built with a capacity of 1,400. Majestic Corinthian columns, marble statues, luxurious carpeting and drapery, all contributed to the elegant neo-classical atmosphere. In addition to that, it had a magnificent dome that changed colors. An architectural phenomenon was also fashioned in the form of its double cantilever balcony, which had no blocking pillars. Arguably its most breathtaking feature is the "Glorification of the Drama" mural created by Lionel Walden and situ-ated over the stage. After coming close to a complete demolition in 1984, the Theatre lasted into the 21st century with the help of conscientious citizens who formed the Hawai‘i Theatre Centre. A 22-million dollar award-win-ning interior renovation designed by Malcolm Holzman of Hardy,

Holzman, Pfeiffer Associates (New York) started in 1989. The 26 of April 1996 revealed an even greater cause for pride when the Hawai‘i Theatre was restored to its former glory. "We have around 75 perform-ing-arts groups who select Hawai‘i Theatre as their venue of choice for performances, which allow them to be artistically and financially suc-cessful," said Sarah Richards, presi-dent of the Hawai‘i Theatre Centre since 1996, in an interview with The Honolulu Advertiser Tomorrow marks the theatre’scompletion of a facade face lift, complete with a 30-foot high vertical neon sign which says "HAWAII," as well as a movie mar-quee running along the entire front of the theatre on Bethel Street. With the completion of its res-toration, the Hawai‘i Theatre has been attracting major world-class productions like "Stomp!" and "Iona (Contemporary) Dance Theatre," as well as artistically progressive productions such as the recent "Australian Bangarra Dance Theatre performance." The Hawai‘i Theater is also a proactive theatre that commits to and engages in a community-wide arts education mission through

the Hawai‘i Theatre Educational Programming Project. Hawai‘i‘s youth and student popu-lation are encouraged to engage in the arts through student matinee shows, discounted admission to evening per-formances, opportunities to work and learn alongside theatre professionals, build sets, make costumes, play in the orchestras, run the lights and sound, stage manage, and put up their own performance in the grand theatre. Despite these efforts, not everyone has taken advantage of the opportuni-ties the Hawai‘i Theatre offers. "My dad and I have season passes to the athletic events so we go to almost all football games. As for theatre, I‘ve not been to any of that stuff," said University of Hawai‘i stu-dent Ikaika Tamayori, illustrating one of the reasons why it is a difficult task to run the theatre. Richards said, "The toughest part (of running the theatre) is the relent-less quest for adequate revenue, to ensure that we operate in the black, that our revenues exceed our expens-es." The Hawai‘i Theatre has been running "in the black" since the Hawai‘i Theatre Center reopened its doors in 1996.

Good in bed? Go ask your girlfriend

By Tasha TanimotoKa Leo Staff Writer

I’ve had a girlfriend for over three months now and our sex life is hot. But lately, I’ve become wor-ried that all the moaning and yell-ing is nothing but O-xageration. What can I do or how can I tell if it’s the real thing? — Anonymous

People can be very sensitive when it comes to “doing things right.” And I’m sorry to break it to you, but faking it does exist in the real world. No amount of “moan-ing or yelling” can hint to you how good you are at sex. The only way to find out is to ask. Awkward, I know, but if you want to know, you have to ask her. Sit her down, tell her sincerely that this is something that has seri-ously been bothering you, and let her know that you’re not accusing her of anything. Just tell her that it’s something you’re worried about. If she really cares about you and your feelings, she’ll be honest with you. Good luck!

for the 2004 conference tournament

No. 1 Southern Methodist Mustangs

(13-3-3, 6-1-1 WAC)

Head coach: John CossaboonPlayer to watch: Olivia O’Rear, F

Reviewing the stats: As winners of the last three conference tourna-ments, the Mustangs are the front-runners to take it home again. They also come into the tourna-ment ranked No. 25 in this week’s Soccer Times.com Coaches Poll. Led by freshman Kimber Bailey and sophomore O’Rear, SMU boasts the most prolific offense in the WAC, leading the conference in all offensive statistics including shots (305), points (149) and goals (56). On the season, O’Rear shares the conference lead in goals scored with 12. In WAC play, she leads the conference with 20 points and six assists. O’Rear is coming into the tour-nament on a hot streak, posting a hat trick in SMU’s regular sea-son closer against Boise State on Sunday. Defensively, the Mustangs have been a bit suspect this season, ranking near the bottom of the conference in goals allowed (1.21 per game). But SMU was able to shutout its last two opponents of the regular season in Nevada and Boise State. However, by averaging nearly three goals a game, the Mustangs have simply outscored their oppo-nents. In 11 of their 13 wins this season, the Mustangs have posted three or more goals. In five games, they scored four or more.

Conference record: As they did in the preseason, the Mustangs played steadily throughout WAC play, losing only to third-seed UTEP at El Paso in overtime, 3-2. At Fresno State in early October, SMU tied the Bulldogs 1-1.

No. 2 Rice Owls(13-3-3, 5-2-1 WAC)

Head coach: Chris HustonPlayer to watch: Lauren Shockley, GK

Reviewing the stats: To sum up the Owls, one only has to use a single word — defense. This season, the Owls have allowed just seven goals in 2004, shattering their own conference record for fewest goals allowed set last year (14). The mark is the tied for sixth all-time in the NCAA. The backbone of the Rice defense is all-conference selection Lauren Shockley, who has already earned three WAC Defensive Player of the Week honors this season. The senior goal keeper has allowed just 28 goals in 3,655:19 career minutes.

Shockley is helped out tremen-dously by the defensive front of Brandy Bellow, Caitlin Currie, Betsey Huete and Erin Droeger, who keep the number of opponents’ shots on goal to a minimum. While keeping their opponents scoreless in 14 games, the Owls have only post-ed 80 saves, the third lowest total in the conference. Conference record: The only team in the WAC to thoroughly break-down the Rice defense has been the Mustangs, who defeated the Owls 3-2 on Oct. 15. Hawai‘i was

the only other conference team to defeat the Owls, winning 1-0 on a second half goal by Krisha Kai. In each conference win, the Owls have won by a 1-0 score, with their only tie coming against Boise State, 0-0.

No. 3 Texas-El Paso Miners

(12-4-1, 5-2-1 WAC) Head coach: Kevin CrossPlayers to watch: Jami Tullius, F; Christine McCartney, F Reviewing the stats: The Miner offense is ranked second in the WAC behind SMU, with the team averaging 2.41 goals per game and 6.59 points per game. Tullius leads the squad with nine goals on the season, while McCartney is third in the WAC in assists, posting four in eight confer-ence games. A factor for the Miners could be the play of freshman Cara Nordin. The 5-foot-6 forward collected her first career hat trick on Sunday in the Miners’ 3-1 win over Nevada. Conference record: The Miners went 1-2-1 on the road during the conference season, losing to Tulsa and Rice and tying with Fresno State. However, after enduring a 1-0 loss to the Owls, the Miners rebounded with a 3-2 overtime win against SMU a couple weeks ago. They come into the tournament on a three-game winning streak dat-ing back to that Oct. 22 win over the Mustangs.
