Well, I didn't vote for President Bush--I found too many discrepancies I couldn't reconcile with my beliefs, so I'm not disappointed like it appears a lot of FReepers are. I tend to really pay attention to what they say and write, rather than listen for what I 'want' to hear.

I haven't been a Republican since his Daddy gave me that 'read my lips' routine...that was the final straw with me....and that wasn't easy coming from someone who was raised in a Democrat household, but never voted for Democrats at the federal level, nor state level, or who ran for office as a Republican at the state level (house seat) just a few years before GHWB pulled that stunt.

Reading that amnesty thread provides a lot of chuckles, IMO, because it seems like more and more people are waking up to what is going on. As I see it, if there are that many willing to publicly show their distress, how many lurkers are there also feeling that way.

Its best not to discuss real politics with moi.....I seem to rankle too many feathers. :)

I look at it this way, I can handle a mistake but deception, I cannot handle. In the case of GHWB I don't even feel that that was outright deception, I feel it was going overboard with campaign rhetoric. I believe he wished he could take the words back as soon as he said them. No politician really likes to box themselves completely in. But W. was very firm on how CFR would hurt the Republican party and he repeated that over and over and even in the debates.!! I will have a great deal of trouble with that one. Lynn
