Aunty M: Right on. One need not agree with every possible part of your dominant philosophy. I tried being a conservative once and it wasn’t me. But that sure as heck doesn't mean I agree with ALL liberal positions. It is not Bush bashing to disagree with one of his stances - say Snake River Dams. Some of the more strident types would suggest that you must be a tree spiker if you want to protect our fish. Even the most ardent Bush lovers should be able to see that not everything he does is golden. No one is perfect! I sure didn't feel everything Bill did was perfect.

It is also not true that all those who have any disagreement with whomever is the current president must have simply adore the past one. Life is not that black and white. Even thought I am a liberal I often listen to Bill O'Riely, an obvious conservative, and ardent Bush supporter, yet he often takes this administration to task for their environmental policies
