Well, perhaps hate may be too strong of a word that expresses your feelings towards our President. I apologize for putting that word to how I perceived how you felt in your mouth. No you have not used that word and perhaps I should not use it either.

You must understand this, the majority if the voting public disagrees with facts you lay out to support you discontent with Bush. Most all Republicans disagree with you and many middle of the road Democrats, especially the new Blue Dog Democrats, think, perceive you are extreme. We had a discussion on the thread about the right to hurt another's feelings. As a part of freedom of speech, it was argued that it was your right to do so. But, is it smart to do so?

Every time you lay out your facts the way you do here, even if you were correct on each point, you hurt the feelings of many in that majority of voters that voted for Bush. They simply wait until it is time to vote again and then they get even with you without saying a word.

See, we disagree on many of the fact you spoke of but, on the other hand, you do have my sympathy. In my opinion you deserve double or triple more of an income than what you have. We need to join together, Democrat and Republican, to work to make that part of life better for you. You and I can do nothing about the stock market. The President and Congress can do little about it either. Why worry about things you are powerless to control?

George Bush, Sr. and Bill Clinton were bitter political rivals, where they not? Yet, they made a terrific team in raising money for hurricane relief. They even discovered that they liked each other.

You are still blasting the Supreme Court for the election of 2000. You have a right to do.But, let's me and you try do something get better health insurance. After insurance paid my medical bills to day, the medical offices billed me for close to $200. That hit me kind of hard. It made me feel the pain for people that did not have the extra $200 and had to go without the medical care. I don't blame the Democrats or the Republican for this. Both parties have had ample time to fix the problem. The same is true with Social Security, Both parties, over the last three decades, have had the necessary majorities to be able to come up with something.

Here we are like a bunch of gamecocks fighting over the election of 2000 and whether or not Bush lied. People like you and me and some of the other political authorities on this forum need to march on Washington and threaten to throw the whole bunch of politicians out.

Your a good fella and I wish you well. (But get off Bush's back).
