I agree with you, Mortimer, but the Bible does tell us that God puts people into power and I do believe that he put the Clintons in there to wake us up. He gave Israel Saul as a King and look what happened there. They wanted a king and he let them have it. The Americans wanted somebody like Clinton who was slick and said what they wanted to hear--he tickled their ears, so to speak. Yes, we need to vote for the people who are best for the job. Bush isn't perfect but look at the alternative. Another 4 to 8 years of democrats would have put this country in such a hole it would never get out. I'm not convinced we ever will anyway but at least we have someone in the WH who is decent, hard working and has integrity. I don't agree with some of his decisions but then I'm not there so I don't know what goes on behind closed doors. I hate politics!

If you voted for Bush, you voted for a Democrat under another name.

I occasionally post the following due to the adulation Bush receives around here:

The following are excerpts from a March 23, 2002 Washington Times piece by Bill Sammon.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

"MONTERREY, Mexico: ----- ------- yesterday said Americans are duty-bound to 'share our wealth' with poor nations and promised a 50 percent increase in foreign aid, but 'We should give more of our aid in the form of grants, rather than loans that can never be repaid,' he said. 'We should invest in better health and build on our efforts to fight AIDS, which threatens to undermine whole societies.'

"In addition to the moral, economic and strategic imperatives of increasing foreign aid, ----- ------- said, it could also help in the war against terrorism.

"'We will challenge the poverty and hopelessness and lack of education and failed governments that too often allow conditions that terrorists can seize and try to turn to their advantage.'"

Here's a small political quiz. Who is quoted above?

a) George McGovern
b) Bill Clinton
c) Al Gore
d) Al Sharpton
e) Jesse Jackson
f ) Ted Kennedy
g) George W. Bush

Hint: He's very popular here at Free Republic.
