I must admit that the whole thing is incredibly sad to me (I refuse to say, “I am saddened...”).
Seriously - Think about it.
A month ago, President Bush was “MY President” to almost everyone on Free Republic and we were proud of that. I, myself, defended him God only knows how many times over the last six or seven years against the Leftists/Socialists of this world a couple of times almost to the point of fists (and I haven’t been in a fist fight since gradeschool).
I was PROUD to have a W sticker on my car through thick and thin which I removed about two weeks ago. Now, I feel like I have been most foully “violated”.
...and now, he has squandered the goodwill of his best supporters - and I really have no idea why.
But, there it is...
I am very glad that we won today but again, it is very sad for me. A sweet but very bitter victory.
The sad part is even after all this, Bush is preferrable to McCain, Gore, Kerry and Pelosi.
By a long shot.
That is sad :( I think I know how you feel but I experienced that shortly after the '04 election. I just wanted to let you know you're not alone.
