I take deep breaths and be true to my heart.
supports the troops, our country, and our President.
I can't say that I will regret the experience. I met some very interesting women.
I plan on returning to Camp Casey very soon, ... But while I'm in Los Angeles, please respect that my sister, brother and I are here focusing on our mother, while the moms in Crawford focus on Bush. The president is not off the hook.
It was very interesting how so many people are struggling to survive. They resort to petty crime to survive and get arrested while people at Halliburton steal millions from the government and they're out prospering.

I believe Mrs. Clinton is a brilliant woman who has a lot on the ball, but to characterize her as one of the leading liberals in Congress is absolutely false.

But I've regretted working for someone who wasn't stridently speaking out against the war, ... Now I regret that support of John Kerry and I won't do it again.
I now know he's sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis,
