However, I think that if someone has to hedge so much on things, I am not too sure they have a highly developed level of critical analysis.
I know conservatives are criticized for being too simple, and unwilling to look at complicated issues.
Of course, I see that as a strength-the ability to muddle through complexity, and and redefine simply.
For example, if life does not begin at conception, when else can it possibly begin?
If you cannot tell that George W Bush is sincerely doing his best to defend this country from terrorists, then you are deceived. Now, there may be fair questions about the implementation of the war in Iraq, and questions about it's effectiveness, and you may even have questions about it being the proper thing to do concerning the War on Terror.
But, I have never seen any evidence that Bush's primary focus is anything other than the safety of this country and it's citizens. In my mind his honor and integrity matches that of the first George W.
Keep reading, he gives it up more with every post. His opinions are true, but he formed them before he came here with this phony BS line about trying to learn. He has every single liberal Democrat talking point down pat.

Its not that I have to hedge -- its that I require myself to be skeptical. Because skepticism, when used properly, breeds honesty. When used improperly, it only breeds indecision.

I understand that reasoning, however, others, including myself, see that more like you don't know the answer, so why not pick the most convenient or the one that seems the most correct now rather than doing more research? That is not in anyway meant to be an attack on you, it is only my opinion on that line of reasoning.

I most certainly think Bush is doing his best to defend the country against terrorists. I'm just not sure his policies are the best way to go about doing that. That does not mean I think Kerry's are better. It does mean that I think there are probably better policies out there that neither candidate is going with.
Now, there may be fair questions about the implementation of the war in Iraq, and questions about it's effectiveness, and you may even have questions about it being the proper thing to do concerning the War on Terror.
Yes! Exactly what I'm getting at. Its not about thinking that Bush is trying to harm the country or he's trying to decept people -- that is anti-Bush garbage. I don't think any U.S. President has ever tried to harm this country or not do their best. Its just that their choices are sometimes not the best -- and we often don't know until we its already happened.
But, I have never seen any evidence that Bush's primary focus is anything other than the safety of this country and it's citizens. In my mind his honor and integrity matches that of the first George W.
I agree wholeheartedly with this statement.
