Bush Losing Support Among Supporters (I Have Exposed the LAZINESS of CBS News!)

At the Kettle Diner in Jacksonville, N.C., it's faith, family and the Corps. Jacksonville is home to Camp Lejuene, the largest Marine Corps base on the East Coast...Even some lifelong conservatives aren't hearing the president's message anymore.

"I've turned him off," said retired Marine Col. Jim Van Riper. "I've tuned him out."

Van Riper is a Christian, card-carrying member of the National Rifle Association who voted for President Bush twice. But as more Marines have died, his confidence in the Bush administration has died as well.

Here he is again, this time back on November 21st, 2004:

"He was a product of Vietnam," said retired Marine Col. Jim Van Riper, who lives in Jacksonville. "He saw what a disaster that was."

Van Riper, who served in Vietnam and the first Gulf War, believes the Bush administration erred by not heeding the Powell Doctrine before marching to Baghdad. And while he "reluctantly" voted earlier this month to re-elect the president, a cabinet minus Powell is now even less appealing, he said.

"Politics determines policy, and policy drives war," said Van Riper, 66. "Powell clearly understands that. He understood that winning the war wasn't the entire thing - that knocking off Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi army wasn't going to be the end of it.

"I don't think he's perfect, maybe too cautious. But he's a hell of a lot better than Rumsfeld."

Does this sound like someone who "voted Republican for year and years and years"?

"... he "reluctantly" voted earlier this month to re-elect the president."

So the "General" got demoted to "Colonel" when he retired? LOL!

[ac-rep]

The funny thing about all the anti- Bush criticism is that guys like myself who fought in the war,seen the dead soldiers, took the IED hits,support the operation.It's the whinny civilians at home sitting in their comfortable easy chairs who are doing all the bitching.

His voter record for NC lists his party affiliation as "unaffiliated" instead of Republican.

Different person altogether. There's the retired Lt Gen PAUL Van Riper who is not the person this article is about who is retired Colonel JIM Van Riper.

[Names Ash Housewares]

Exposing the BS in CBS is becoming common. They dont even try to hide it anymore.

[SC Swamp Fox]

Very nice. Well done.

[hsalaw]

CBS, you have been busted!

Again! Seems to be a regular thing with them.

[ansel12]

What info did you submit to get his party affiliation?

[Doctor Raoul]

Seems the media trades info on who's a good lay.....

And Van Riper puts out.

[LibLieSlayer]

GOD bless you, and THANK YOU for serving our Great Nation. We owe you long past you life span!

[Doctor Raoul]

Paul versus Jim, prolly to different guys.

[paudio]

WOW... a professional whiner...

[adm5]

Kudos to you.

Katie & crew were especially biased tonight. I guess, they were trying to get in the maximum number of hits against Bush before El Rushbo was to appear on the "Freedom of Speech" segment.

[Doctor Raoul]

I couldn't get that site to work for me. James for firstname and Van Riper for the lastname?

[ErnBatavia]

Ya gotta just love this hysteria....you'd swear that they're trying to defeat Bush for a third term or sumpin.

Our Republican "leaders" are idiots, but the left is downright 'specially capable' (or whatever the hell the PC term du jour is)

[JamminJAY]

More braking news from "false but accurate" SEE-B.S. network-over.

The MSM thinks your stupid.

Sorry the grammar police must step in: The MSM thinks you're stupid.
