I forwarded the Rolling Stone interview to a lot of people I knew, and the little boy (not little anymore) I used to babysit wrote back to me and chided me for being "under the spell of Kerry." He suggested we talk. He said that he thought that Iraq was the right war at the right time, and that Bush had demonstrated courage these last four years and therefore should be re-elected.
HOW CAN HE MISS THE INCREDIBLE INCOMPETENCY OF THIS ADMINISTRATION?
I went through the web, searching for conservative writers: Bob Barr and Anderson from Minnesota think GWB is incompetent and full of shit.
I found links to the Martin County, KY, 1996 mine/sludge disaster, about which the Bush administration demanded that engineers LIE in their final report, in violation of all our ethics as professional engineers. We do not lie, we are responsible for the people that die due to our errors, and we take safety precautions to protect individuals and the environment.
Abortions have increased during this administration. No Child Left Behind is a joke--how many teachers do you know have quit because of it (I know several)?
He does not embody conservative values. He does not practice Christian love or social justice. He is incompetent as a military commander, and he is personally a coward and sneak.
HOW CAN THIS BOY NOT SEE THE BULLSHIT?
This boy's family is kind, good, and I like them. They are conservative Presbyterians. They have been Republican from way back.
But that doesn't mean they're blind. What the hell is wrong with people?
Will someone tell me WHY?
