The little known 'man' behind *'s entry into politics (not ROVE!?)

[Bluerthanblue]

This isn't a 'new' interview, but one which i stumbled on, and was really surprised to find-

listen to how this man describes the nature of bush before he found religion-



"Doug Wead is a motivational speaker, a Bush family friend, and was a campaign adviser to George H.W. Bush in the 1988 presidential election. In this interview, he tells the personal story behind President Bush becoming in middle age a born-again Christian and, as someone who has closely observed Bush over the decades, he explains how the president's faith has had a tempering effect on who he is. " is the good angel of his personality. Without that faith, he is so hard, he is so decisive, he is so quick, he is so brutal, he is so unapologetic, so self-righteous…" he says. Wead also discusses evangelicals' growing impact in recent presidential elections and why,...."

i may be a 'fool' but the man he describes as 'pre-faith' bush sounds like the man that is, and has been the 'acting' leader since the get-go....???
Could he be any more quick, brutal, decisive, unapologetic and self-righteous???? God help us!

1. It's sounds like Bush needs 'medicine'

"Without that faith, he is so hard, he is so decisive, he is so quick, he is so brutal, he is so unapologetic, so self-righteous"

3. In other words, a sociopath!

If George had not been born into the Bush dynasty,
he would most certainly be serving time in a federal prison
for some horrific violent crime against another person.
It IS his nature.

6. it is not my 'place' to 'judge' a persons

'faith'-
but, i DO believe in the 'by your works, you shall know them'-

And i haven't seen the 'works' of a person who has had a 'life-changing' experience.

He knows the 'buzz words' and uses them- but his actions are what SCREAM at me.

litteraly

8. Turning away from a booze drunkeness, to power (Greed/Lust/Rage)drunk.

aaaannnnnddddd, you're absolutely right. BUT what the elders in the flock are required to do is to counsel and correct false doctine and Bush's ignoring thou shall not kill, thou shalt have no other god's before me, thou shalt not worship false gods, idolitry...

5. Uh they're talking

about the same person in the White House. He hasn't changed at all obviously.
