The anger against Bush is rampant on this forum. I have a question for everyone: Do you hate the man, or the policies he stands for?

I find that although I do not see eye to eye with Bush, I definitely respect him in many ways. First of all, he stands up for what he believes in. Now, I will readily admit that it seems that he stands up for what his corporate backers believe in, but then again, that is EVERY politician. Not to mention, he does seem to have a sense of loyalty about him, which I also share. Lastly, He does seem to be strong in his faith, which is refreshing. (I am not endorsing a particular reason, just find it nice that our leaders believe in something greater than themselves).

Now I do disagree with SOME of his policies. Namely tax cuts (in a war, I believe in them in times of piece and prosperity) Underfunding key programs such as the no child left behind act, and his using Sept. 11 as a campaign ploy (he doesnt have to do that, I believe most remember his leadership during that time). I even disapprove of the WAY he is running the war on terror. I hated Saddam with a passion, but if he doesnt have WMDs....

Although I am a registered democrat, I am not certain yet who I am voting for. I feel closely aligned with Kerry, (and right now he has my vote) but I must admit I respect some of his qualities.
