America deserves better.

It is official.  I am crazy.  On January 31, I accepted a position as a Counselor Intern in a Drug and Treatment center.  Today, 19th of February I resigned that position.

When I took the job I did not know why  I took it.  I do not know why I resigned.  I do know that I am convinced that the world does not function anymore.

This last point brings me to my overall point of this BLOG.  Mr. McCain sold his soul to the devil banking on the support of independents and moderates.

I do not trust Mr. McCain.  I see him as a poitical opportunist, willing to say anything to win the presidency.

In addition, even though I know people are not functioning as functioning adults I do expect to have a sincere and honest person to support for the presidency. Mr. McCain is not this person, in my opinion.

No matter how bad things get, we will all suffer from bad decisions made by political leaders.

Therefore, I see no reason why Mr. McCain would govern like a conservative when he did not run as a conservative.  The reality of politics is that the people who support you expect their "pound of flesh".  If McCain says publically that he wants to prevent "stem cell" research in America based on moral grounds, independents and moderates will make it difficult for him if they do not suppor this policy.

Moreover, I am not ignorant of Mr. McCains service to the USA.  I, however, want leadership that respects the hard working tax paying individual and who does not encourage people to be dependent on goverment.

The case against McCain in conservative talk radio is about, McCain/ Feinglod, Immigration reform, not support for tax cuts, not supporting a ban on stem cell research, and other claims.

I do not like McCain because in my opinion he spoke against Bush for his own political ambitions.  In my opinion, Mr. Bush has been an excellent president.

The news media has made him out to be the devil.  However, I am still a firm supporter of president Bush.  America is lucky to of had a principled and disciplined person in the presidency during this great challenge of "Terrorism".

Furthermore,  Bush has succeeded inspite of the intereference of people such as McCain and the "liberals".

Half way through the Iraq war I was very ashamed of myself for allowing physical and mental health to suffer.  I wanted to be on the battle field with all those brave Americans fighting for the nobel cause of righteousness and freedom.

This is how important America is to me.  I just can't her in the hands of political opportunist.

You are entitled to your opinion but i would really like you to name 5 good things Bush has done for THIS country not Africa and certainly not Iraq in his time as the president im so tired of people blindly following our representatives. Our economy is in shambles their is less money in the education system and this country is in major need of a miracle All this isnt Bush's fault because how can one man be the demise of a whole country but is a figurehead so the chips will lay where they fall.... And im tired of people throwing the word terrorist around its very reminiscent of a a all too familiar term communism everyone was so gun ho in the past to point out the communist and the "evil-doers" (thats a direct quote from Bush) We didn't stop to see what is going on on our own American soil As far as terrorists go there always been people who've hated us there always will be people who hate us thats a fact of life when you spend your days policing the world around you....... But please answer 5 good things
