I used to be one of the "Bushbots" in the forum. In fact, I even used to say that Bush would turn out to be as great a president as President Reagan. No matter what the decision, I would come out in favor of the administration's position, finding some silver lining somewhere.
And then, something snapped. I started seeing the full depth of what was coming out of DC. That feeling of solid earth beneath my feet went away. It felt like Clinton's third term. Like "We the People" had been sold out AGAIN. And we have.
Just out of curiosity, was there any single thing that caused you to see reality? I'll admit that Bush has a real talent for coming off as sincere, honest, and truthful. He and the Republican spin doctors have done an incredible con job upon folks who are genuinely patriotic, decent, and hard-working - lots of them Evangelical Christians. I can really understand how one can fall for it - I almost did myself.
This is not to imply that there is anyone in Democrat ranks who is better. They are simply rabid leftists and outright Marxists whose chief ambition is to utterly destroy the country. We are still headed towards destruction because we are still being ruled by liberals - sometimes even leftists - in the name of conservatism, and liberals see no real enemies to their left. (lLeftists take a different view, which is why they hate Bush with such passion.)
Bush's angry attack this week upon anyone who dared to oppose the positions of his good friend Alberto Gonzales, a third-rate racial preference apparatchik, who supports abortion, racial preferences, siezure of private property, opposes the 2nd amendment, and sits on the board of an openly racist organization has been more ferocious than any remark he's made about the Dem obstructionists in Congress. It's yet another exmaple of the hard truth - Bush is an LBJ liberal to the core, and evidently corrupt to boot. Thus we keep on dancing ever leftward - the Hegelian Mambo - towards the yawning abyss. That which was moderately liberal 25 years ago (enforcing immigration laws, for example) is now "extremist right-wing racist fanaticism" - even according to self-styled "conservatives." I wonder who our next conservative hero will be, Leon Trotsky?

It appears most of the left agrees with you.
To save your asking, no, I d0 not know what the perfect answer is, but when it agrees with the left side of America I have to disagree, therefore will continue to support Bush..
