Laura Bush

I consider myself very liberal but for whatever reason I like Laura Bush!! and I feel funny about it! I can't tell DH, because he probably will think I'm not serious!

Re: Laura Bush

  • Not meaning to sound mean, but what does liking someone have to do with their political affiliation?  Laura Bush is a standup woman regardless.  No need to feel funny about it.  She's a great role model for women today.

  • Sorry if that sounded rude.  I was trying to get the point across that you can like someone without agreeing with them politically.  I like Michelle Obama.  I think she's incredibly intelligent, beautiful, well spoken, a wonderful role model for women and a fantastic mother.  But I do not agree with her politically.  I just get frustrated when people combine like with agree.  Not liking someone because of their political affiliation is like not liking someone because of their religious affiliation.  Not trying to start any fights or anything.  Big Smile

    I do agree with your point if the person was someone I knew in person, lets say a coworker, ..., but when you are a political public figure such as her, her politics defines her!

  • What's not to like?  She's smart, refined, gorgeous, and seems very, very sweet and kind.  She likes kids and wants them to read.  Hard to not like her.

    Her political views are opposite of mine.  Also, I would not have married GW.  But, I like a lot of people who's taste in men are questionable.

  • I like her too.
