Very well spoken... er... written BD. But I don't understand why you have such personal compassion for this man.

Sure, he may have been a good father and husband, but that does not make him a great president... the same goes for Li'l Bush. Imo, they are very similar; tax cuts for the rich, a political agenda ruled by christianity, arrogance and aggression towards the rest of the word (cloaked as patriotism), HATRED of gays, a secretive and conspiratorial cabinet, etc.

Both men, imo, were merely pawns of their party. Both are/were "as dumb as a box of rocks"... Reagan - senile while in office, Bush - just plain ol' redneck dumb, and a manipulated puppet-like, by the real powers of the republlican party.

I will NOT miss the man, just as I will not miss Bush when he is voted out of office this November, and he rides off into the Crawford sunset.


amen.
