Regarding the comments on Bush (OT)

[Guest guest]

Paul,

 

Not interested in reading what is probably what I consider somebody's slanted

view of him (in other words not telling both sides of a story). I realize he

is not perfect....but he is the best president we have had since I have been

alive (Of course that is my opinion). And he is a committed Christian which

makes me even more comfortable with his overall performance (I know he is God

fearing and is ultimately getting his guidance from what I consider the right

sources). Nobody is perfect....and one thing I KNOW.....you have to make tough

decisions in your life...and your truly not going to please everybody all of

the time. This is true with the president as well...even more so because he

has to deal with the constant interest groups (who of course all have different

interests) and is under constant scrutiny and the worse critical eye (which

in most cases is appropriate). He has to make decisions based on his own

conscience...again we all do. I have liked his performance so far, and support

him

as president. Take care.

I have not caught this whole thread- but want to put in my 2cents on

Bush.

 

Before he was President, I was speaking to several Texans, about

his goings-on while in office there. There were many things said,

most of which I don't remember now- but one thing has stuck in my

mind-- when questioned about his hunting out of season, he was

quoted as saying something to the effect of - I paid the fines, it's no

big deal.

 

There were worse things discussed [some of which I remember

considering particularly un-Christian], but that one I found

personally offensive enough to remember it.

with a statement like that, it is apparent that you

are closed minded, but i'm curious as to WHY you think

george w is a good president. i hear people say that,

but nobody can back it up. i can't think of one good

thing he has done while in office. did i miss

something? please enlighten me.

 

so, WHY is george w a good president?

 

looking forward to your answer,

susie

And of course there was hs p*****g ontest with his brother Jeb to see

who could execute the most people (Texas v Florida). I think Dubya

won.

HI,

Aargh. Unfortunately I have a feeling everyone's view is a tad slanted

which is why I do try to listen to other people's viewpoints.

Well, based upon Gallup polls (okay, I didn't check today but . . .) you seem

to be in the majority. I guess I'm in the minority. I don't like him. I

don't

like his viewpoints. I don't like his character. I don't like his decisions.

Of course, I'm not fond of any politician, so I try to choose the lesser of

all the evils. I think I like Jimmy Carter more than a lot of others that have

been president because it seems (and I will admit to not too extensive of

research here) that he does try to be a good person and not just while he

is in office. I liked JFK too but probably more for his general charisma.

I'd put Nixon and Reagan down near the bottom and the Bushes are

trying to reach that level (again, my opinion)

You are aware that there is supposed to be a separation of church and

state, right? Admittedly Bechtel and Halliburton are supposedly not under

that divine umbrella, I guess. Are those the right sources? ;<)

100% correct. He's obviously pleasing many people but I'm not one of

them. My parents always told me life wasn't fair and I should get used

to not getting my way.

 

Sorry for carrying this on. I know I should have gone to the other conference.

I'll be quiet now (except for that vegetarian thing . . .)
