First of all,I don't want to get into debates, but I'll say why I think he was a great president.? I'm a strong conservative, and share alot of his beliefs.?? There was only one other president that had to deal with a surprise attack (Pearl Harbor), and in my opinion he handled it quite well.? He didn't crumble, he took a stand.? He stopped partial abortion.? Again that is something I was against, so for me that was a positive.? He recently distributed economic checks..Yeah, it was our money really to beginwith, but has any other president ever done that?

Basically, he has done what I as a Christian voted for him to do.? He appointed conservative judges, got in the face of abortion (as alreadysaid), and gay rights.?

Again, these are just my opions. The question was would I vote for him again, and my answer is yes.?

    I want to know how someone can get "in the face of abortion".  Might she also say Bush ***-slapped abortion?  Because I would like that better.  And what kind of conservative is in favor of stimulus checks?

    Even though I am pro-life and anti-gay marriage, the way she worded this just doesn't sit right with me.

    And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this Rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.

    I wasn't referring to sounding uninformed.  I think it's the harsh words regarding abortion and gay rights that bother me.  It's hard to explain.

    sorry - I can't type this early in the morning! boo double negative. maybe judgmental is what I mean - It was like a tone thing - although I hate it when people say writing has a "tone". lol.

    Looks like she even endorses Bush's grammar skillz.

    What blows my  mind is that she talks about her views and how he fits with her views, and has done things that she likes. But she hasn't mentioned whether or not he did anything good for the country. Sure, you can argue that she believes her views are good for the country. But less face it, most people will agree that he has not been good for this country.She fails to see it b/c he fits her narrow view of what she wants. memememememe.

    I think it's funny she's proud that he "got in the face of gay rights."  At least she's honest about being homophobic, I guess.

    But she probably has a gay friend, so it's alright.

    I'm always amazed when people are so blatant with their homophobia.
