Reply #92: Gut feelings

[eugeneliberal]

Remember how Bush was always talking about how he followed his gut instinct? Well, that's precisely what prompted me to start digging. I had always taken an interest in politics, but was fairly apathetic during the Clinton years. I can't explain it, but watching GW right before the 2000 election, I had this really, really bad feeling about him. I didn't know much about him, but something about him just seemed terribly wrong. So, when 9/11 happened I had a similar feeling about it seeming awfully "convenient." Since 2000, I've been like a sponge and as others have said it's taken a toll on me--the frustration, the anger, the battles with friends and my Republican parents. Yet, I'd rather be on the side of truth than following the herd, and I am still optimistic that the truth will prevail.
