Editor;"I Found this letter in a News-paper while surfing the web, felt it had some merit to post to my Blog. Was sent to the Editor by: Linda Lowack, Archer City Kansas....
"In response to Janie and Jack Barker's letter on Sept. 19, I did not contradict myself, as I made the "mistake" of voting for "War President Bush," as he said he was proud to be known as, and is living up to. I won't make that same mistake on Nov. 2. I still consider him wishy washy, never seeing any combat himself. It's big news when he falls off his bicycle and skins his knee and elbow. He found out too late he can't turn Iraq nor Afghanistan into anything close to a democracy. Our men and women are still getting killed daylye because Bush says the U.S. will not back down. If he was the one in captivity going to have his head removed the next day, I doubt very seriously he would say, "We won't back down." Mr. Ballog, Mr. Jim Horany Jr., myself, and millions more of us so-called liberals have not been "shut down at every turn in the road." Us millions of voters would rather vote for Kerry or their next-door neighbors than vote for Bush, so congratulations and deal with that. In response to Patricia Ford's letter Sept. 19 stating President Bush never accused American servicemen of committing atrocities, why were many of them accused and punished for showing Iraqi prisoners in the nude and with a collar and leash on them, when orders came from "higher-ups"? The editor's note to your letter, "Urban Legend Web Sites," asserts that Mr. Kerry's photo was taken while visiting Hanoi on a diplomatic visit in 1993. He was part of a team that included a Vietnamese admiral also in the photo. I pray all our men and women service members in foreign countries get to vote in the presidential election and that the public is not given the lame excuse again that the military were too scattered out to get their ballots in time."

I know this Post is really narrow minded and heavy on the writers part, but I wanted to post it because their was some things in it that I felt needed to be heard. And I understand if you are Voting for Bush and that is fine. But you also have to understand a lot of people have been hurt by what Bush has done and the pain and anger is still with them...
