I would be interested in knowing how you suffered personally during the Bush administration. Bush can listen to any phone call of mine. I like the way he kept the country safe. There are no complaints there. Sometimes I thought the Dems. wanted to lose the war just so they could say Bush did it. Do you think there is any truth to that at all?
The same tired old accusations? Democrats are unAmerican? Democrats wanted Bush to lose? Bush NEVER supported the troops, but supported the corporate interests in Iraq. KBR made more people sick with bad water, Several soldiers were electrocuted due to bad wiring by KBR, Blackwater put our Military in harms way multiple times. There were soldier's family raising money to buy body armor for the soldiers. And this is Pro-American?

And I thought the Bill of Rights was for ALL Americans. You seem to have the attitude that if it doesn't affect me who is it really hurting. More than 200 people kept at Guantanamo, Americans, and Canadaians and Germans sent to prisons in other countries without being charged.

Torturing prisoners hurts our military. BY torturing our prisoners we give the enemy the feeling that they can torture ours. And our actions cause us to lose our reputation in other countries.

Now a lot of Isolationist Conservatives say it doesn't matter what others think of us. But that is naive and dangerous. We need support from allies. If you want to stick your head in the sand and not care what rights were or are taken away from us so be it. But I am trying to look at the big picture.

And Bush did NOT make us safer, he put us in more danger.
