I got to thinking that if I applied your criteria for deciding who is worthy of my vote, I wouldn't vote. Sen. Grassley is a good man but a major disappointment at times. My congressman, Steve King is probably one of the best in the Congress but he disappointed me once. There were times when Terry Branstad was governor that I wanted to choke him.

My state rep. is a friend. There are times he just doesn't get it. I work for one of the best state reps in the Legislature. There are times I know his vote isn't the best vote but we're all human. They don't get any better than Steve King and my guy so I'm behind them.

I'm sure if I were pushing buttons I would also take votes I'd prefer not to take.

I despise all these Democrats so much that Bush looks very, very good by comparison. Those are my only two options.

I respect your decision and I'm sure that you will vote for the person you feel best represents your views and Ideals.

All I ask for is the same consideration. Far too often on these boards, myself and others like me, get slammed because we will not sacrifice our vote on the Bush Alter. (Up until this year I always voted a straight republican Ticket, I won't this year.)

I worship one being and that is Christ.

Bush is a man and not automatically deserving of my vote just because he is good on the war on Terrorism.
