Reply #15: I was working in Austin during one of his governor inaugurations [View All]

I couldn't get a hotel room anywhere. Austin was so packed with fanatics for Bush that my company had to put me up way across town from my client's offices. I couldn't believe all the frenzy, but at that point I wasn't worried--just crazy Texans for Bush. I was comfortable, having enjoyed years of the Clinton presidency.

Later I saw him for the first time on TV when he was running for president. I thought, what a lightweight. When he won the Republican primary I couldn't believe it. Then I got this incredible dislike for him. His facial expressions reminded me of some country bumpkin. I could see living with McCain as president, but this boob?? How could all these fanatics support this idiot? My first impressions were correct. I guess this is when I first realized how the fundie religious fanatics had taken over. I wasn't politically aware until he stole the election from Al Gore.
