I'm a software engineer who's married and has two daughters. I'm a Christian who tries to let my faith inform my political views, rather than vice versa. I do lean to the conservative side on many issues. Politically, I favor a government that holds people responsible for their behavior and well-being while helping the less fortunate become self-sustaining and contributors to society.

Bush is so bad, he caused unemployment before he took office!
We constantly hear how President Bush has caused the economic downturn and rise in unemployment. If that's the case, he must have done so via his time machine because this article shows the downturn in both the economy and jobs began before Bush took office. [Reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend of mine who kept wanting to blame Enron on Bush, despite the fact the illegalities occurred...wait for it....before Bush take office.] I see a pattern here. Anything bad happens, it's Bush's fault, no matter when. "Bush started the Civil War!" "Bush caused the Great Depression!" "Bush environmental policies caused the Dust Bowl!" You get the picture - Bush as scapegoat.
