| Colin Powell knew that he was bending the truth or whatever you want to call it. I know he was reluctant, but in the end he chose to go along with Cheney and Bush - I find that cowardly. I liked Colin Powell until that moment - I remember it like it was yesterday, because my husband, a lifelong Democrat who has followed politics since he was five, was swayed by Colin Powell and thought they must have really found something in Iraq. I was not swayed.
Vicariousparent,
Honestly, I don't understand how anyone that calls themself an independent could give any consideration to the Republican party in its present state and in light of the past eight years. I could completely understand why you might have voted for Bush in 2000 but not in 2004. I think a lot of Republicans are calling themselves independents so they can redeem themselves for voting for Bush a second time. If Bush was not so widely disliked I don't think we would see so many people so eager to call themselves independents. I liked McCain when he ran against Bush, but he's not the leader he used to be - too old and out of touch and he's a Republican. He's a good man, a courageous man, but no longer presidential.
Mercymom,
Why was it so hard to decide between Kerry and Bush? |
