You keep asking for explanation of why I support Bush now and I have refused. I will continue to refuse because history has shown me what happens to people who support Bush on The Ledge. It is happening as I type.

I have my reasons for changing sides. I know what they are and I believe in them as passionately as you believe in your views. I will not put myself on the butcher block for you, CarneVaca or anyone else. It was the point of my original post anyway.

As much as I hate to admit it, you are correct. If you said I like W because:

he is strong on terror

the economy has gotten better

I support the war in Iraq

which are the usual iems, no one would have said "I respect your opinion" and here is why I do not think that. You would get pounced on. That is sad to me. And, although I try not to, I am guilty of it as well.
