anyone against bush, US president?

[JenBKR]

Thats the same with me... but from what most people say... most other presidents did a heck of alot better than Bush.

Please don't just go by what others say....

Well that's what my dad says... and I believe him.

Bush is apparently is against gays. That is very unfair. My dad is and I take that personally. I bet he does, too. I think we shoulden't have a president that is dicrimanent (sp?) against certain people.

Not saying I am for Bush - but he is not against gays. He believes that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. That is what is in the bible, and Bush follows that. I just believe that everyone should find out for themselves the facts, not necessarily believe what they hear from others (especially the media!!).

(especially the media!!).

Like Fox network!

Like Fox network!

Oh yeah, the rest too.

All kidding aside....how do you anticipate getting the facts? If not from the media? Or your parents?

Honestly, I don't know. Hopefully someone else will have a better answer. Maybe that's why I'm not very political - I do listen to what my parents have to say, and what others have to say, and the news, but how much of it do I know to be true? I have no idea...

Oh. The media should just give us the truth. Barely anyone cares if it's exciting... just give us the dang truth! Stupid media people...

The media tends to sensationalize things or focus only on the bad or most dramatic, in other words what gives the best ratings. They have some basis but a lot of times makes it worse than what it is. That said I think the best way to make an informed opinion is to listen to both sides with an open mind. Hard to do but if you go into a conversation willing to actually listen, while you may not agree with someone you may at least understand their point of view. Who knows they may bring up some points you hadn't thought of.

That's not to say I support Bush or the war in Iraq, far from it in fact. I do however greatly respect the troops for doing a job that I doubt I could do. I'm in San Diego and many of the troops stationed in Iraq are based here. I don't think anyone could hear the stories from the families of these troups and not respect the sacrifices their making whether you support the war or not.

I agree with you. My brother's base was in San Diego... I forget what the base was called.
