26. Exactly, JE voted more like a Republican when he was a Senator and
supported BUSH and the IWR and the Patriot Act along with many other votes that went AGAINST Democratic philosophies. NOW, ALL OF A SUDDEN, He has changed all of his positions???? and you buy into that????? I'm sorry if the truth hurts, but this guy is so fake it isn't even funny. What bothers me most is that is EXACTLY what Bush did, he campaigned on false promises and then turned around and reneged on much of what he said. Remember - "returning integrity to the WH"? remember - "no nation building".... Just because they say something - doesn't mean they will DO it. Bush showed us that over and over he would say one thing and then do just the opposite. The thing was, that the Pubs bought into the rhetoric and ignored his actions for way too long of a time. Now look, it is too late. Look at all of the damage that has been done. What is it going to take for people to realize that rhetoric is just that....rhetoric. For Dems to be buying into JE's rhetoric w/o a shred of evidence of what he will DO, is irresponsible at best. It appears no lessons were learned. Way too many Dems cannot see past promises. I thought that we were smarter as a whole. Now I don't think so.

An "R" by Bush's name doesn't make him a Republican. He doesn't stand for any of the Republican standards

Just because JE has a "D" by his name doesn't automatically make him a true Democrat and if you don't understand this then, yes, I stand by my words.
