I remembered your name was not Jane, from way back. I always assumed you were either obsessed with the 9 day queen, or you were a dominatrix... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif Guess I liked that one best! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
Your Brother sounds like a good guy. Particularly if he tells you how wrong you are...hehehe
Believe me, I feel, and pray, for the poor, unemployed, the uneducated, the homeless, and any other suffering human beings. I take a strong stance for George Bush for many reasons, but I'll list only a few. Since we are discussing human suffering, (a very worthy topic in any rational, thinking persons, opinion) I'll start there. I have seen GW personally embrace victims of 9/11 without predujudice, of race, religion, or political affiliation. I've seen him cry with those hurting. I've seen him pray with the scared, and sorrowed. Not once did it appear to be a phony photo opp. I've seen him promise to right the wrong, waged against this Country, and I see him following through, at any cost to himself. In George Bush, I see a man who risk his life, and that of his family, daily protecting America. I know that no man is perfect, and no one man can fix all the wrongs with our Country, but I'll stand behind a man of integrity every time. I honestly can't think of any President, of my lifetime, that loves, and honors America, like George Bush. I've seen plenty of john kerry's love, and respect for this country, and it makes me want to puke. When I look at john kerry, Integrity is certainly not on his list of attributes.
I also was raised where a vote was kept personal and quiet. However, times change. I now have 3 boys, and a large part of their future rides on this election. I have 2 choices, George Bush who has shown himself to me as a good man, or john kerry, who has proven himself a leach for 30 some years. I'll ask George Bush, with my vote, to keep my family's future safe. I'll also ask anyone who will listen, to do the same. I'll add one last point. No matter the issue of concern, a man of conviction, and integrity, is best chance we Americans have of improving the situation.
