'Votes should feel used'

One of the Republican campaign promises back in 2000 was to strengthen our military.

The gung-ho George W. Bush and other Republican candidates complained that Clinton and the Democrats were dangerously downsizing the military.

Those conservative Republicans who held themselves out to be God-fearing Christians were adamant in their belief that closing military bases caused our armed forces to be less effective and, as a consequence, made the American people more vulnerable to possible future foreign military aggression.
Those Christian conservative Republicans assured us that a vote for them meant a stronger military with no military base closings.

We have a Republican Congress and president.
Today, the Republicans are downsizing the military by closing 180 military bases across the country.
Of these, 33 are major bases, and two are in the Pittsburgh area.

Plus, Bush has not told us how closing these bases will strengthen or military capability.

Do you ever get the feeling that you cannot believe a word that these so-called Christian conservative Republican leaders utter?
Back in 2000, if you voted for the Republican candidate of your choice, do you now feel betrayed and used?

I am wondering how the millions of Americans who voted for Bush and the Republicans feel now.
Have these voters forgotten the Christian conservative Republican campaign promises?
Do they feel used?

Will the voters remember today, or will the Republican candidates make them forget by talking up the abortion issue?
