TX, thanks for your comment about the democrat backlash. I have been a lifelong democrat, but since the Clinton fiasco, I have been "evolving." I was sorely let down by Clinton, and felt I had been duped by him when the Monica thing came out. I reluctantly voted for Gore in 2000, what a meally mouth he was, but I thought Bush was not experienced enough to be president. Then came 9/11, which fundamentally changed me as a person. When I saw W react the way he did, I was so glad he was our president. I was completely moved by the speech he gave at the National Cathedral after 9/11, and was forever touched by it. I do not agree with everything Bush has done, but I can see his character shining through. I love Zell Miller, he is my hero. The speech he gave at the convention perfectly expressed my sentiments. Since 9/11, I have done a complete 180 philosophically, and have started to open my eyes to liberalism and its empty promises, and have come to realize that the socialist leaning countries are not the ones that do well, etc. I cannot say I agree with Bush on all of his agenda, but have to say I agree with him more than I do with Kerry, by a long shot, not that Kerry has a believable position on anything. Generally, this confessional is to say that there must be more like me out there, and we will be coming out of the woodwork tomorrow! I even volunteered at my local Republican center to get out the vote last week! I absolutely cannot stand Kerry, and am grateful to the swiftboat guys for all they have done to get the OBVIOUS truth out. I have watched and followed with interest John O'Neill and I cannot believe his stamina and inner fortitude to put up with the crap that has been thrown his way, he is another hero in my book. I hope that all of the truth about Kerry comes out, and he gets shamed into obsurity as soon as possible and we as a country can tackle the most critical things we are facing right now. I guess I am a security mom, but more than that, I am an undeclared Republican voting for W in the morning. Thanks for listening.


dmonroz,

Thanks for participating and for being part of this forum..thanks for your support of President Bush, our nation and what we MUST do going forward...there is a place for Democrats if they will reclaim their once great party...till then we may have to be a coalition (I am a Republican) of the willing within the Republican Party...Zell Miller was something to behold, wasn't he? Kudos to security moms across the country...we don't have to agree on everything - but I think you would agree, there are a few basic, fundamental things! As you so aptly put it - "Then came 9/11, which fundamentally changed me as a person" - hear, hear Democrats - you must understand how America has been riveted to the core...this is a great nation and we will not 'not fight' when attacked...for this I am glad. Thanks again dmonroz!

Let me clarify. I am no die hard Rep. I have split my vote several times. I just think this election has woke a lot of die hard Dems up, and they want to make a statement. I think every one needs to research the candidates. Just until this election they would not even consider it. But with them running Kerry, it has made people really look at it all. I think they all have forgot we are Americans first. Bush is not perfect, no one is. I do not think he has got enough credit for what he has done. He has had a very difficult 4 years. I think the swift boat vets and pow's have helped in making people research for the truth.
