Hello, there are more things that are important than gay marriage. What about saving lives and helping the poor?
Hello, you are wrong.

You just brought up the OTHER main thing that I disagree with President Bush about. Yet I voted for him. And I still approve of him.

As for his approval rating.... I didn't vote on that, so there is at least one person's opinion that wasn't included in that poll.

The irony...

Love the dog for president concept... Kinna like Dog is my Co-pilot... Or my Karma ran over your Dogma...

And other bumper stickers I have seen around here are:

Nobody died when Clinton lied...

Jack Shit for President...

And didn't Michael Moore try to run a Ficus for President in 2000?

Vote for Ficus...

I guess I was one of those "pregnant chads" back in 2000...

And since the folks in California negated the proposition of "none of the above" for all voting, then I had to choose one or the other candidates for president. It wasn't Bush for me in 2004...

As far as the best candidate. No one person can be the "best candidate" or "the end all be all". And unfortunately, campaigns have turned into a corporate greed factories. Since Bush had and still has a ton of money and can hire spin doctors like Karl(schlitzer) Rove(lager) (of the 3rd Reich SS), then what Alexander Hamilton says is true--the masses are asses...

As they said in the "Hollywood Shuffle" back in the Reaganomics years:

"How about 10 bullets up yo' ass with 'make my day"'

But if Mr. Bush resigns, then we automatically get "Robo-Cheney" as President... I've lived thru one presidential resignation... I swear, whenever 9/11 happened, Cheney somehow got "robotized" or made into the bionic VP--which was spin doctored into saying he got a pacemaker... Anybody that has guts to say "EFF you" and face "EFF yous" in public, must be "robotized" or bionicized... That would be fun to have "Robo-Cheney"--because he doesn't EFF around...

But I don't want Credenza as a VP. She keeps Bush happy for some reason... Robo-Cheney doesn't really like Credenza for that purpose...

Like what Bill Maher said the other day:

Mr. President, playing president must not be fun for you anymore isn't it? It is just is too hard... You have to think too much and play, I mean plan too much for the future... Your vacation gets interrupted by meaningless things, etc...

Do you have anything intelligent to say or do you just like to post rolleyes smileys?

How about giving YOUR own answer to the question posed, why do you currently support Bush?

No need to be rude.

I support our president because as has been said before, I think he was the best choice. I aggree with almost everything that Rudey, and KSigKid have said.

I personally feel safe with him running our country. I thought he handled 9/11 better than anyone else could have.

I support the fact that he has stong convictions and does not change his personal beliefs in the face of criticism. I think he is a strong leader.

Also, I think he handles the criticisms of small-minded people with class and dignity.

There are several areas that I do not aggree with him. But, he is our president and I will continue to support him no matter what anyone has to say about it.

And when someone makes stupid ass comments, I am going to feel free to roll my eyes as often as I want. Thank you.

Just a little bit of humor (?) from another bulletin board:

"Laura's Reaction: First Lady Laura Bush is responding angrily to claims that her husband doesn't care about black people. As the person who knows President Bush the best, she insists he doesn't care about white people either."

Well, family morals are importants, but people are dying because of malnutrition. Impoversiherd families are working 2 to 3 jobs a day to make ends meet. Put yourself in someone's shoes who is poor. You'll see the point. In fact, I saw Feed the Children weeks ago, and I heard that a father killed himself after struggle to make ends meet for his wife and his children. Are you saying that you have no sympathy for the poor? Not everyone is the same, Rudey.

I think you make a good point... Personally though, my sympathy stops when people aren't willing to TRY to better their situation.

No - he is saying that it was not strong moral values that got President Bush re-elected. Being anti-gay marriage didn't give him the election. Rudey is saying that you were wrong on that point.
