he has totally lost my support along with every other former Dubya supporter I personally know of...

That's what everyone seems to be saying, people are absolutely fed up with his constant pandering to Mexico and his big spender ways.

I thought that I was alone in feeling this way. Most of the people I know will vote for him anyway, since the alternative (Kerry) wouldn't be any better (in fact, would be worse) on these issues. I'm sure that is all part of Karl Rove's master plan.

Spending and illegal immigration are certainly big negatives for me. In addition to those two issues, he has been AWOL on Fundamental Tax Reform, which is the only thing he really could have done to stem the loss of jobs. Instead of that his economic advisors are in denial. This reminds me so much of 1992 when the country was sliding into recession and the President's economic advisors were the only ones who didn't recognize it.

Interestingly, Susan Estridge is the only political analyst I have seen who has commented on the problems that Bush has with his base. The Republican leaners, like Hannity, etc. focus on the positive, which is understandable. Bush's handling of terrorism, in spite of the failure to find WMDs (so far) is a big positive IMHO.

We each have to decide if that positive outweighs all the negatives on the aforementioned issues.

You are right. Oh, I read your "bio." I am a former Californian (born and raised there, and, aside from a 4-year stint in the US Air Force during Vietnam, lived there until I left for good at age 28, some 25 years ago). Growing up in California during the 1950s and early 1960s was paradise; it was a wonderful place. It all started to change in 1965, and by the mid 1970s was well on its way to being destroyed; I left California for good in 1979. California is now irreparably damaged, and, if I may coin a phrase we used in Vietnam, California will have to be destroyed in order to save it. The destruction is just about complete. You can give her a resurrection by throwing out your liberal leaders, collapsing the influence of Hollywood, and getting ride of all your illegal aliens, no matter what country they are from. Can you do it?
