It is hypocrisy to vote for a person and recommend him and then say I don't agree with his politics, and he does not take me seriously, and he is proving to be a disaster etc. etc.

Objective fact is: islamofascism is stronger, more wide-spread, more self-confident because of Bush's politics of the past 6.5 years. This one line will suffice - instead of long winding essays of self-justification.

"I erred" - just two words instead of this unending polit-journalism.

See my reply at http://www.danielpipes.org/comments/111741:

"I have plenty of criticisms of the president, as I have indicated in this article, and supported other candidates for the Republican nomination in 2000. But I can only have to imagine Gore or Kerry in the White House to be glad Bush won."
