IF I HAD IT TO DO AGAIN

Much has been said about President Bush and his leadership or lack thereof. His detractors would have us believe that he is the worst President since Jimmy Carter, an allegation that I find reprehensible but politically correct if one is coming from the bias of the media and left of center politics. .

The fact is, given the same choices at the voting booth today as I had in 2000 and in 2004, I would vote for George W. Bush again. If the Democrats (and the Republicans) want to see change, they need to give us viable choices, a vision of the country they want to lead and a path to follow to reach that vision. Instead rhetoric of what’s wrong and our failures is the tune of the day with few actual ideas that will change anything. I am tired of hearing criticism. I want to hear ideas – thoughts – dreams – passion for a better, stronger, safer America. The America that I want is not a Democratic or Republican controlled America. It is an America of dedication to our principles, our way of life and our citizens.

Nothing has happened in the six years of George Bush’s presidency that would alter my choice given the same choices as I had then. Fact is, I have appreciated George Bush’s leadership and believe that he was then and is now the best man for the job when considered against the choices that we had at the poll in 2000 and 2004.
