That is a fair statement, and yes he has been more and more dissatisfied with the Bush Administration as time has gone on. This was simply the final straw. He is a "Goldwater Republican" and doesn't like the excessive spending and overly religious tone of the Bush Administration.(His words, not mine)
And as far as discussing 9/11 during this election, of course we must. As I said it is an integral part of Bush's presidency and American history. Again, I do not fault him for refering to 9/11 or even showing the ruins. I fault him and his campaign for using the image of a dead body draped in a flag. I think it is in poor taste and offensive. If Kerry uses that type of imagery I will slam him as well.
