You know, I sure do understand where you're coming from! I was JUST like YOU! Any derrogatory remark made about my President and I jumped right on to that jugular.
The problem is, that in addition to the fact that the poster you pounced all over, probably spent MONTHS sacrificing all his/her free time, family time.....working rear ends off to see that GW was back sitting in thay awesome oval office, only THIS time, with a MAJORITY house & senate! We OWNED it ALL!!! So we thought!
Do you remember what that up hill battle was like for Republicans during the election? I understand your PASSION, because I had never been more proud to be an American, as when GW became my President! He was my President Kennedy!
But on March 31st, my entire perspective changed dramatically! I saw a man choose to make one of the most difficult decisions there is for a President and that was to go against THE FLOW and march into Iraq!
He has sent many American troops into Iraq to liberate a Country from tyranny! From a man who ordered the inhumane deaths of many innocent Iraqi people!
Yet when it came to just one American. One innocent, completely vulnerable & helpless, disabled American............he stood by and he allowed a Tyrannical American Court, order the inhumane 14 day long dehydration death of Terri Schindler Schiavo.
He said he was a man who valued LIFE! Who's life would that be? Surely not the life of Terri! An innocent, disabled American who could no longer cast a vote?
Surely if gW BUsh has the fortutude to liberate an entire country from ONE man, he could save ONE woman, from an entire country!
I've never been so ashamed and so disappointed! I am one of those who sacrificed many months of my life, to assure that GW bush remained this Nation's President and THIS time, with a majority!
FOR WHAT? WHY? so FRIST can sit with reid over a cold one making deals and acting as if this judicial nominee process, is an auction on EBAY or an exciting poker game? A GAME? We'll give you 3, if you disqualify these 3, etc...
This Country needs more than ever....leadership with a BACKBONE! They had beeter find their spines soon, since I refuse to be a DEMOCRAT, but I won't remain a REPUBLICAN if these Judges are not accepted and if Bolton is not approved!
My point: RESPECT IS EARNED! It's not in a TITLE!
Well stated, Ileene.
