Thanks for the picture. I will vote for Bush because he is the best man for the job. I don't like his lax immigration policy, but that is for another post. :-) As for his character, he stands head and shoulders above any DemonRat. I pray to God he wins, thens listens to me and my ideas about illegal immigration. I'm sure he will. :-)

I have met them both and they are both people you would feel perfectly comfortable with at a backyard BBQ.

What I feel most comfortable with is their accents.

Ok, so who's going to go over and post this in the dumpster? I can't afford to get tombstoned as I'm angling to become a moderator ....

Thanks for posting this.

You're very welcome. It struck me that way too, as I know how nasty and vile most of the Democrats are. I believe we are fortunate in having GW, (with his faults and warts too). His stand on abortion and marriage should make every Christian in the nation vote for him. But did you realize that 24 million "so called" Christians are not even registered? Shameful.

Edwards is right. There are two Americas. The ones that want to keep America great and those that want to tear it apart. This story proves it.

I have the pleasure of knowing some Marines who worked on HMX. They worked for Bush 41 and Clinton. They told stories of often playing basketball with Qualye in the hangar. They were often invited to barbecues with the President where they were treated like family. He loved playing horshoes with them. They said they felt the President and the 1st Lady just wanted to be around them, that they truly enjoyed their company. When Clinton took office, it was a 180.

This has been posted and reposted, but never substantiated.

I can substantiate that the Marines the protected Camp David despised the Clintons an Gores. Heard it from their mouths regularly while stationed at Marine Barracks, Wash. DC. The ones that were there during the Bush41 era had nothing but good things to say about the elder Bushs. In fact, they said that on several occasions Barbara Bush grabbed the cooks at Camp David and would bring heaping trays of fresh chocolate chip cookies over to the Marine house. Can' verify it happened. The were convincing, though.

LOL I thought the same thing. Just pretend this post doesn't exist - nor does swampfox98, that ornery old trouble maker.

I think it was taken during the Olympic Games in Utah as the WTC flag was raised. Anyone confirm?

. . . most of these insights are corroborated in Ronald Kessler's EXCELLENT new book, "A Matter of Character: Inside the White House of George W Bush."

A friend of mine has close relatives who are with the sherrif's dep. in Phoenix. They had the chance to talk to Kerry's security detail and they asked them what they thought of him. They CAN'T STAND the man. He is much like Hillary Clinton was, won't allow them to talk to him, or anything and he treats them like crap. That is what COULD BE!! (shudder) But of course, won't I hope!

My nephew is a National Park's law enforcement officer. Recently he spent a week with Laura Bush and several friends in Glacier national Park, He said she, and her friends could not have been more frinedly and kind. He sent me several pictures taken of him with the group.

What makes this all believable is that I know the people of west Texas. They are, on the whole, a very good, kind, and respectful bunch of folks.

I grew up in Oklahoma and lived in Ft. Worth, Dallas and Houston over the years. Despite the football rivalrys between Ok and Texas, Texans are good people.

Just like the military can't speak ill about the CinC, I'm sure the SS presidential security detail has even higher standards.

I had a conversation once with someone who was neighbors with a member of AF1 flight crew under 41 & 42. They said 41 and Barbara were very kind, punctual, and did their best not to take advantage of them during holidays, etc, when they could be off with their own families. Total opposite with 42. Couldn't care less about being on time or whether or not the crew had a life.
