Bro, I back what You say and believe.

I have already stated my opinion to Republican statements....

You are entitled to Your beliefs.

I am an Ex-Army Sergeant, I back our troops but not the deceitful reason for a war where everyone else is dying but the people that send them there and are making money for it.
Everyday seems like something new and disturbing is common form Bush's political peers.

Even republicans are speaking out and pulling away from Bush.........
Oh I can say soo much more but You sum up very well Young man.

What makes a "Great" Leader? One that thinks past what others tell him he should.
Those who do that are blind followers.

I applaud Your convictions to be bold and courageous to speak out.

KEEP BEING YOU AND YOU WILL GO FURTHER IN LIFE THAN MANY....

William

I agree with some of what you are saying and i think that most would agree that there is a problem with bush and all tha crazy stuff he been doin, but i have also wondered about the charity thing. if everyone in the US could give one dollar to the poor in america, we would not have the poverty that we do right now... just one dollar. But it is kinda hypocritical to say u goin in tha military after you just pointed out all the negativity that comes along with it. But i'm glad to see someone out there thinkin bout more than just material things....u actually wanna help people...ttyl mike! ~Brie~

I love this post! I agree with you 100%! And I think that you can really make a difference with this because there are so many out there starving and homeless and helpless that just get looked over or looked through as if they don't exist. I'd give you a dollar any day for this, even it was my last. Bush does need to pay more attention to home instead of runnin around trying to solve every other country's "problems."Sure we can be peace-keepers or whatever, but when the people who need you at home can't get help, you need to step back. & i do agree that Bush should have brought some of the Katrina victims to the White House because not all them could evacuate before the storm hit for whateva reason, obviously. But it's real kool 2 see that you're willing to do so much to help people & make a difference in people's lives...you aint all about yourself & how you can get over on people at their expense even when their already low.
