The indefatigable Bush and Cheney families and some of their friends continue campaigning as the president readies for the final debate tonight, perhaps known in the Bush-Cheney 04 campaign as Creamed Kerry on Toast.
Descriptions of who, what, when, and where accompany the photos. Well we know the Why.
Enjoy your daily dose of W @ Sanity Island!
That picture reveals his very soul! I'm praying for this good man.
It's IMPOSSIBLE for me to put into words how wonderful our President looks standing with his gorgeous wife. They are still deeply in love, you can just tell.
Laura saved his life in many, many ways.

Pray for President Bush - Day 1487 (Election Countdown - 20 days)
Psalm 1
1 Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
3He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.
4The ungodly are not so,
But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6For the LORD knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Welcome pkswan!
Bumping for prayer for our President.
Im praying like crazy....
I've been thinking about the First Couple and how much she influenced him and changed him through the gentleness of her love and all that she is, and it has led me to wonder, Would he be where he is today without her? Would he have retained too much of an unhelpful edge and impatience? This is not in any way to denigrate the great qualities he has, or his ability to lead, but I do wonder, especially when I consider that even his parents didn't see the politics in his future ... till after he and Laura had been married for some time.
Is Rove got a pair of swim FLIPPERS?????
I can't tell what he's carrying. It's very mysterious.
thanks very much. i'm excited to get started.
glad to be here
Howdy pkswan..........good to have you aboard.

Kayak..........how can we ever thank you for all that you do! Our prayers are for you too. In two weeks we expect the Nephew home from Iraq.......will let you know and we can remove his name from the list. Thank you dear Kayak!
