no, just because you are classified as a republican doesn't mean that you have to agree with everything the the republican president believes in. Do you disagree with Everything that Democrats stand for? If you dont, then there is your answer. You are entitled to your own beliefs and opinions, and they do not have to coincide with what President Bush says.

No, I'd admire you for it. That's the way it should be. I don't agree with Bush on everything, either, but I do respect him and believe he's done a good job on lots of stuff, too. Don't worry about what others think. You're doing a pretty good job with your integrity as it is.

I'm a Republican and I don't agree with everything G. W. Bush has done.
I still respect him and think over all that he has done a great job.

I don't know you...what job has he done that was good though?
I still can't think of anything.
Tax cuts - no. Didn't help me.
I don't feel safer either. Heck, I'm imagining nukes going off in my hometown, that's how safe I feel.
Education - no. NCLB is a disaster in the making. Now the idea behind it I do kind of support...but the testing involved should be national tests. The states should have the right to see how well they are educating kids as compared to other states. I think if you gave a national math test to 8th graders, you may be suprised at the scores - some states would be high, others not.
But you can think of Bush what you like.

NO. I think more of you because you understand that the office of the President of the UNITED States of America should have the respect of ALL the citizens of this country whether we always agree with him or not.
If he is a good decent person, like President Bush IS, we have to assume he is trying to do the best he can.

I am a Republican also..and agree with you! Even Democrats should respect the President...just as we respect our country's flag...the President is a symbol of America and we do not have to always like the person or agree with everything they say or do but as Americans we should not bash our country, flag, or president

I wouldn't think less of you. But I do not respect you for sticking up for Boosh. By not closing the boarders he has let in around 19,000 illegal aliens from terrorist countries.
Hezbollah, Cocaine, Marijuana, Methamphetamine, Terrorist Crossing our Boarder!
This is government site for a Summary for 2005:

In 2005 the government estimates the following crossed our Southern Boarder:
5.6 to 11.2 million pounds of cocaine.
34.3 to 68.6 million pound of marijuana.
In 2005 as many as 4 - 10- million illegal aliens crossed into the United States illegally.
During 2005, Boarder Patrol apprehended approximately 1.2 million illegal aliens; of those 165,00 were from Countries other than Mexico. Of the non-Mexican aliens, approximately 650 were from special interest countries. (Terrorist countries)

Members of Hezbollah have already entered the United States across the Southwest Boarder.
Venezuela is emerging as a Potential hub of terrorism in the Western Hemisphere.
Homeland Security Report, Page - 4
There is an ever-present threat of terrorist infiltration over the Southwest boarder. U.S. immigration and Customs Enforcement investigations have revealed that aliens were smuggled from the Middle East to staging areas in the Central and South America, before being smuggled illegally into the United States.
Members of Hezbollha have already entered the United States across the Southwest boarder.
U.S. Military and intelligence officials believe that Venezuela is emerging as a potential hub of terrorism in the Western Hemisphere. The Venezuelan government is issuing identity documents that could subsequently be used to obtain a U.S. visa and enter the country.

I would be less impressed, if you couldnt back up your general statements with sound arguments as to what constitutes a 'good job'.
But I wouldnt think 'less' of you because you are lovely (probably!)

Think less of you? No.
I have many conservative friends, some of whom I've discussed politics with and everybody comes to their own opinions based on their experience and upbringing in my opinion.
I certainly don't understand how anyone can think he's done a good job though.
