Letter: Bush appointed, not ‘elected’

Friday, Aug. 15, 2003 | 4:33 a.m.

I question the propriety of the constant use of the words "re-elect" and "re-election" relevant to the candidacy of President Bush in the 2004 election.

If victorious in 2004, Bush would become a second-term president but most certainly not a "re-elected" one, inasmuch as he was not legitimately elected in 2000. George W. Bush became the favored recipient of an "appointment" to the presidency.

American voters must never allow the travesty of the 2000 election to be repeated.
