At the Kettle Diner in Jacksonville, N.C., it's faith, family and the Corps. Jacksonville is home to Camp Lejuene, the largest Marine Corps base on the East Coast...Even some lifelong conservatives aren't hearing the president's message anymore.
"I've turned him off," said retired Marine Col. Jim Van Riper. "I've tuned him out."
Van Riper is a Christian, card-carrying member of the National Rifle Association who voted for President Bush twice. But as more Marines have died, his confidence in the Bush administration has died as well.

Here he is again, this time back on
November 21st, 2004:
"He was a product of Vietnam," said retired Marine Col. Jim Van Riper, who lives in Jacksonville. "He saw what a disaster that was." Van Riper, who served in Vietnam and the first Gulf War, believes the Bush administration erred by not heeding the Powell Doctrine before marching to Baghdad. And while he "reluctantly" voted earlier this month to re-elect the president, a cabinet minus Powell is now even less appealing, he said.
"Politics determines policy, and policy drives war," said Van Riper, 66. "Powell clearly understands that. He understood that winning the war wasn't the entire thing - that knocking off Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi army wasn't going to be the end of it.
"I don't think he's perfect, maybe too cautious. But he's a hell of a lot better than Rumsfeld."
Does this sound like someone who "voted Republican for year and years and years"?
"... he "reluctantly" voted earlier this month to re-elect the president."

The funny thing about all the anti- Bush criticism is that guys like myself who fought in the war,seen the dead soldiers, took the IED hits,support the operation.It's the whinny civilians at home sitting in their comfortable easy chairs who are doing all the bitching.

Kudos to you.
Katie & crew were especially biased tonight. I guess, they were trying to get in the maximum number of hits against Bush before El Rushbo was to appear on the "Freedom of Speech" segment.

Ya gotta just love this hysteria....you'd swear that they're trying to defeat Bush for a third term or sumpin.
Our Republican "leaders" are idiots, but the left is downright 'specially capable' (or whatever the hell the PC term du jour is)
