I thought I harbored a dim view of Bush, but this thread and the other Cindy Sheehan thread make me look like a middle of the road moderate.

It does not seem unreasonable to me that Cindy Sheehan could consider Bush a sincere man of faith who is genuinely sympathetic to her, and yet still disagree with Bush's policies.
