There was a time I would have vehemently disagreed with your post. I'm having a harder and harder time not coming to a similar conclusion. And it pains me as a Texan (stuck in S. Florida) and former Midland resident.

I always had alot of respect for the Bush family, have attended a speech Barbara Bush gave on literacy and shook her hand and was proud. I didn't think Bush 1 was a great President, as he was more liberal than I liked, but I still thought he was doing what he thought was right. But now, I'm having a very difficult time, and I fear that very soon I'm going to have to admit to my liberal friends that I was wrong.

Susie - I volunteered for Bush in 04. I was proud to get him re-elected. But I have been very dissapointed as well. I have been warned by many on here to keep quiet about the fact that Bush has betrayed our party and the conservative values.

I am proud conservative who believes in principle over party - I am coming to understand that FR is not interested in those values.

I was told not to use the Bushbot term. When has FR become so PC??

Jim Robinson called McCain a traitorous bastard - but I can not use the term Bushbot???? It is obvious that the RINOs control and moderate this site. Oh well - I have nothing against that but it is obvious that they would rather silience certain conservative voices who believe that this president is not working for the best interests of US citizens. How is that our men and women can lay their lives on the line but illegals should be allowed to have the same or more rights and benefits than them. Something has gone terribly wrong in the US and its time we continue to speak out.

Stay strong
