Letter: Electing Bush was a huge mistake

Published: Mar 6, 2006

I am an unhappy Republican. More than that, I am an unhappy American. My greatest unhappiness is due to the continued and costly mistakes that our president makes that may jeopardize our very system of government, to say nothing of the damage being done to our economy

Snip...

The war has killed or maimed thousands of our young Americans and tens of thousands of Iraqi men, women and children (they’re people, too). It has cost us hundreds of billions of dollars, and no one can even guess what the total cost will be in dollars and human lives. He’s spending money like the proverbial drunken sailor, creating deficits our children and grandchildren will never be able to pay. Our international balance of payments has grown to unheard-of levels. He never vetoes a bill, tolerates massive pork in appropriation bills. In short, he is making a mockery of what we once thought of as the Republican Party. I’m now afraid our dollar is in serious jeopardy.

I voted for him when he was first elected. I never thought he was very smart, but I thought he would surround himself with good people, listen to them and make god decisions. I was wrong; he listened only to those who said what he wanted to hear. I never repeated that voting mistake again. I simply DIDN’T VOTE. I couldn’t vote for Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass.; we needed better than either of them.

God has certainly blessed America. But I’m not willing to bet he’ll keep bailing us out when we make such huge mistakes as we did in picking our current president.

How does anyone with any sense compare Kerry, one of the smartest (intelligence and common sense) men around, to someone who is dumber than a doorknob (litterally)?


Question on edit: Who voted for Bush?
