Does President Bush have any credibility left ?

Does President Bush have any credibility left ?

Dear editor:

Americans should be loyal to their nation. George W. Bush is a man who condones acts of evil, who harbors and encourages those who commit them in his name.
The war we are now in is a farce based on nothing but lies after lies, and our young men and women are dying for nothing except an arrogant, delusional and incompetent President who cares nothing for anyone but his cronies, big corporations and liars who put him in office.
But some people listen everyday to the deceptive propaganda of pill-popping Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly and the such and take it as the truth. Wake up America. We should be in the streets demanding the impeachment of George W. Bush, who is destroying our nation's credibility. His only claim to credibility is that he says he believes in God, but I wonder if God doesn't believe in him? I wonder if God finds him a loathsome creature who betrays the teachings of Christ? I wonder if God long ago abandoned Bush, because Bush long ago abandoned God in deed and practice?

Op Ed: Letters To The Editor

Creditable beyond a reasonable doubt

Dear Editor:

In response to the letter from Ms. Judy Allen:

President George W. Bush having any creditability?

I guess if you would be in his shoes, you'd be the first female president of the United States, and we would be fighting the war on terrorism in our own backyards. After all, he was sworn into office by the majority in January 2001, and re-elected by the majority on Nov. 2, 2004. Before that he was our governor for six years.

Guess the majority (including myself) can't trust anyone who has a bachelor's degree from Yale, who has a master's degree in business from Harvard, and was a fighter pilot in the Texas Air National Guard and owned the Texas Ranger baseball team at one time, not to mention all of the competent Cabinet members he picked. If you have better credentials, you should have run for the position.

I'm surprised you found the time to write this editorial. After reading it, I would have figured you'd be on the outskirts of Crawford, Texas, with Ms. Sheehan who lost her son. He was a very brave and courageous soldier dying for his country so you and I could live in freedom. Many have passed away before him, and I'm sure many will pass away in the future to secure our way of life.

I presently have a son who wants to join the U.S. Marine Corps, and I am very proud of him in doing so. May he and others preserve our freedoms, including your letter to the editor, and I hope mine.
