I am a life-long republican from Iowa, and am very concerned with the direction the Republican party is going.
As a man of faith, I am very skeptical that George Bush holds the same faiths I do, I feel he politicizes it FAR too much.
I hope this is a true and open dialogue so that we may keep to our values and keep “the good” in office. I want my two children to grow up in a country with real Republican values, many of which reflect the Christian household I was brought up in. I was also taught there MUST be a separation of church and state, a small government, and compassion for fellow man are necessary.
I want to live in a country where I can speak my mind about the issues that matter to me without fear.
...
do not think that increasing the national debt by 420 billion! dollars is very conservative, I myself have no debt and was raised to never ever go in debt. My kids are inheriting a massive debt from my generation that their kids just may be paying on too!
Now that it proven there were no weapons of mass destruction, didn’t President Bush break the commandment “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor”?
Going to war breaks the commandment
“Thou shalt not kill”. My family has fought in every American war since the Civil War. War is SOMETIMES justified obviously, but violence begets violence. Even more ~ not supporting our troops properly, putting them in harm's way needlessly, cutting their pay and screwing with Veterans Benefits.
