Speaking for myself - I had that hope when he took office. I sincerely thought he meant what he said. After four years of realizing the horrible mistake I made in trusting him and his cronies, I am loathe to trust him again.

I mean I believed him when he said he would never go to war unless America was in direct and immediate danger of attack, but I know know that he knew damn well that Iraq was no such thing and was hell bent on going there anyway and now 1,000's of U.S. soldiers are dead.

I believed him when he said gay people have the right to coexist - then he comes out with the Const. ban of not only gay marriage but any form of civil unions because gay people are "sinners."

I believed him when he said the tax cuts would work and he would curtail Federal spending (they must go habd in hand). Now he has outspent on borrowed money any Democrat ever in the history of Democrats.

and the list goes on and on with things like healthcare, the environment, etc.

So, I, and I imagine others, are once bitten twice shy.

But, you are correct - I wish he would do the right thing and forget about his agenda of theocratic conservatism and realize his former policies have failed

If i'm not mistaken, did John Kerry and others vote NAY on arming the troops? $87 billion...no?

You are mistaken (but I love ya anyway!!!

) That bill was an omnibus spending bill that encompassed many other things and W lied about what the money was going for. Essentially W wanted a blank check for Halliburton. Sadly, he got it.

Here is a website that explains it:

What I am talking about was W knew prior to the invasion that the armed forces did not have enough supplies. He could have waited until they got them. But, he chose not to. Thus, my argument.

Theres rules to join and rules to follow in both. If the church defines marriage as between a man and a woman, then theres really nothing you can really do. But I disagree with the states defining marriage. That should be seperation of church and state. Now I know there are MANY gay ledgies, and i respect them 100% as people and my friends, and I hope I did not offend anyone. Like I said, this is my own personal opinion and I hope I do not lose any Ledgie support.

I'm not sure I understand. It seems as though you've said it's okay with you for there to be gay marriage as long as churches are not required by law to acknowledge those marriages. Is that what you were saying?

Once again, your facts are wrong. Go look at the bill Kerry supported, then the one the Republicans pushed through and expected him to support. They were radically different. Maybe your frustration should be vented on Bush, who sent them in wearing Vietnam-era flak jackets and then cut their pay once they were over there.
