You know,
If he would *do* HALF the things he says, I might have voted for him. If he had any shred of character or personal integrity, I might have voted for him. But he won't and he doesn't, so I didn't. I just can't believe that so many fell for his lines, expecially when he takes the credit for Republican proposals. God help us, but we (they) deserve what we get. It wasn't quite the "mandate" they were predicting, was it?
As you can imagine, I am surrounded by a bunch of gloating liberals at the office who are throwing me a bone by consoling me about the Congress. I just hope that they are as "supportive" when politician Clinton forgets about what candidate Clinton has said and when, if ever, the press ever picks up on all these scandals. Can you imagine the field day the media would be having if a Republican Administration had done what he has? (Yes, it was called Watergate!)
I hope that we have kept a clear majority in both houses, otherwise we are up the creek. I'm just sorry that Sue Wittig, the candidate for U.S. Congress that I voted for, didn't win.
My intent above is to impugn the man's record, not anyone's political views. There are good and bad things about being either Liberal or Conservative. The reason I could not vote for him was because of what I perceive as his lack of integrity and character, his slick politician-ness, if you will. His administration has done some highly suspect things, and he has taken credit for successes that do not belong to him. In so doing, he conned the American people into giving him a second term which I feel his record did not merit. Given his political behavior toward moral issues over the past four years, I took great offense to his references to GOD and morality in his acceptance speech.
If after all of this you were still able to vote for him, that is your right and privilege as an American. If you were willing to look past his questionable actions as president in support of political ideals, so be it. My implication is that you may not have the same vote-worthiness criteria for people that I do (and you ultimately vote for people, not ideals), or you were not aware of the shadiness of his administration. The latter is not surprising, given how the press adores him.
Meanwhile, I'll keep praying for him and for the rest of
the country, that we be saved from the curse of moral relativism
and secular cultural values and that we return to our Christian
civic roots as expressed by our Founding Documents.
