Questions for Republicans...

I'm curious - if you voted for George Bush in the last 2 elections, do you feel he's done a good job in the White House?


If not, will it change your party allegiance?

I believe in the first 4 years the administration did very well.

I did not vote for Bush. I do not approve of his Iraq blunders, nor of his failure to secure our borders. I am a new Republican. I did not leave the Democratic party. They left me- when they became controlled by radicals.


I refuse to cast my vote for such a radical left winger-

You do realize that the very term "Marxist/Muslim" is self-refuting, don't you? Muslims, as a rule, tend to be very devout, and Marxism is not part of their religion. Though they do have - as most religions do - tenets within Islam which might sound "Marxist" from an armchair perspective - like the commandment to give to the poor - Islam is about closeness with Allah, not about proletarian revolution into a Communist state.

And, if Islam doesn't condone Marxism, the reverse - that Marxism is completely opposed to Islam - is even MORE strenuously true. It was Karl Marx and Frederick Engels, after all, who wrote that "Religion is the opiate of the masses," and that was just one of the anti-religion (ALL religions) passages in their writings. They believed that the ruling classes used religion as a tool to keep the masses (the proletariat) pacified and distracted from rising up and creating a communist state.

Two more fundamentally incompatible ideologies, it's hard to imagine; the fact that you blithely fuse the two of them and ascribe this improbable combination to a man who's never expressed public support for EITHER ONE, is.....interesting, to say the least.
