Don Ferro my friend,

I share your anger, grief, disgust, and your disillusionment with how "the other half" just doesn't see.

Not to lessen the importance of any of the other issues on the election ballot, of course the President was most important in my mind, because of, and mainly of the Iraq war.

I hate to see many of us who are (were?) friends, start in with name calling, insults and down right rudeness to others who do not share their views. If we were all to meet tomorrow, would the shit hit the fan over politics??

I won't go into reasons that have been hashed out over and over and over again, but perhaps to those who don't see how the "left" can feel the way they do, let me try to explain without political banter, but more on an emotional level, and maybe, whether you agree or disagree, or even understand, you might be able to see and say.."Ah, I don't agree, but understand where her/his anger/fear/discontent comes from.

This is my feeling:

This President scares me like no other President in my lifetime. I don't trust him. I don't feel safe with him. I fear for the future of my daughters, my grandaughters and myself because I see an even larger and more devasting war/s in the future. I would love nothing more than to be proven wrong. But until then I can only say my sentiment is, and probably said and felt more sincerely and honestly from the core of my being......God Bless America!!
