I voted for him. Twice. Both times, glad to do it. Wanted to do it. Made up my mind it was the best thing to do in both situations and in looking forward to the important issues. Slowly, very slowly, my opinion of him is being etched away. There are actually times where I have felt sick to my stomach in the past year or so when I think of him and his actions and the stances he has taken. I knew what I was voting for and I liked that about him. Stood up for him on several very memorable occasions in fact....
Now, I'm feeling very very unsure of him. I'm really not sure there is anything he can do to change my opinion now. What's done is done, and he can't change that. Not for all the money or approved leaks in the world. Are you kidding me? Can anyone say hypocritical? Don't get me started.
I worry about things, things that our kids will have to deal with. I'm not sure he's entirely making that an easier path for them to walk. I'm just not sure...I think I'm on the fence about him but more on the questionable side. Would I stand up for him now? Not with any confidence; no.
What do you think? I know what one of you thinks. I'd like to hear anyway.
You cook, you clean, you go to work, you nourish, you love, you scold, you are professional and yet you hang your hat on every dust particle in your home. You are a woman. Some women are Moms and some are not. You are still a woman. We are all made similarly. We are strong.

I, too, voted for Bush and felt good doing it. But like you, I've been disatisfied lately by the choices he's made. However, I think we have to realize that our economy is strong and the war on terror is strong, something that wasn't true when Clinton was in office. I also believe that it really doesn't matter who we have in the office--with it comes some good, and some bad, it's a matter of measures. The world is just changing, and not for the better; people are more uncaring and selfish and our enemies are growing stronger because of it. There have always been countries that hate us because of our prosperity and our moral standings, George Bush hasn't caused that to be true. However, as a country we've gotten soft and "politically corrected" to death--I blame the liberals most of all. I find my peace knowing that God is the only one really in charge and that He will ultimately bring us peace and joy. Always keep your faith in the forefront, know what God tells us and let Him always direct your life. Jesus WILL come again and all this other stuff will not be important, it is His will for us that matters.
I too voted for George both times. And while there are many times that I feel uncomfortable about some action he's taken. I fall back on what it was about him that made me vote for him in the first place... he truly seems to be a good person. I admire his faith, his open faith in God. He isn't perfect anymore than the rest of us are perfect. There are lots of things about our government and the governing of this that we really don't know. The media spins whatever story they think will garner them the most ratings. How can we truly know what is the truth?? If you watch CNN you see one story, if you watch Fox News you see another. Which one is in fact the truth? I can't tell, can you? Really? Probably the truth is somewhere in between. As for the leaks, really, truly, what was leaked? I don't know and can't really tell. I hate that we have Republicans and Democrats. And this comes from someone who would be forced to call herself Republican if pressed. Why can't a person stand for their own principles and not for a pary platform? Why can't we judge a person based on their OWN beliefs, merits and past actions. In this country that seems to be impossible anymore. That is what sickens me, that is what I am disappointed in. So... as I said I fall back on why I voted for him in the first place. I will trust that God will guide him and his country. I will pray for the president and congress to do the right thing even though I sometimes can't tell what the right thing is. When all is said and done that's all thats really left. Prayer.
God Bless you and your family.
