I have supported the war. I have kept most of my thoughts to myself when it came to President Bush...most...not all.
For those of you who may not have heard even though it was on CNN and every network evening news, back in April we had a series of tornados that ripped through three counties here in Iowa doing millions of dollars of damage. Now I have donated to the Katrina funds. I gave to the tsunami funds. I give to several charities. So even though I don't live in the counties that had the damage. And I didn't suffer any damage at all from these twisters. I'm just a little miffed that our illustrious leader couldn't see fit to use some of the tax dollars that I pay in for him to do with as his little oil mongering self would like, to help the citizens of Iowa devastated by yet another nature disaster. No, it wasn't important enough to help the state of Iowa to fund the rebuilding projects. I guess we in Iowa aren't that important...except for that month every four years when we hold the first caucus. They need our votes and we are suddenly important and then they forget about us for another four years.
I'm disappointed, disillusioned, and praying that a Democrat will come to the forefront that I could actually stomach voting for. Because you see in reality, I didn't vote for Bush...I voted against Kerry. I'm disgusted that I am starting to regret that more each day.
