Letter: Republicans won’t admit role in disaster

Thursday, Sept. 27, 2007 | 7:21 a.m.

In Peter White's Sept. 25 letter, he asks what planet the 70 percent of Republicans who approve of President Bush live on. I suspect that many of these people know, inside, what an absolute disaster this administration has been but lack the character to admit it.

It's much easier to stick one's head in the sand and pretend that all is grand. To vote for Bush twice and to disapprove of how things have turned out is to admit culpability for a sand-clogged, worn-thin military, a national budget surplus turned to record deficit, a scandal-ridden government strewed with the carcasses of various criminals, a world with more standing-in-line terrorists than ever before and a government that spends more on Iraq than on it s own impoverished and needy.

Don't blame me . I didn't vote for him.
