Political Discussion

            For my political discussion I thought the best place to start my discussion would be in my study hall session. I talked with two of my academic counselors and one academic advisor assistant. Dr. Monk is one of the counselors; she is a white woman in her fifties. She is Episcopalian and a democrat. Shelia my other counselor is a white woman in her early thirties. She is catholic and a republican. Wesley is an academic counselor assistant; he is a black male in his early twenties. He is Baptist and a democrat. The questions that I used to start the discussion were, do you support president Bush? What are your feelings about the war on Iraq? And finally, what do you think about Bush compared to Bill Clinton? .
             In response to my First Question, Do you support president Bush? I received mixed opinions. Dr. Monk said that she supports Bush, because she feels it's the right thing to do since he was elected into office. But, she also feels that he can be criticized. She says that she does not agree with his stand on abortion. She does not think the government should have any say so over someone's choice of abortion. She did though agree that the war was something that had to be done. Sheila on the other hand told me that she supports Bush mainly because her parents support him. She makes it clear that she does not follow political issues much and that's why she listens to her parents. She agreed on both of Bush's stands on abortion and the war. She said that by her being catholic she is pro-life and she would never condemn anyone for supporting abortion, but she does not agree with the idea. Wesley was the only non-supporter of the three. He could not think of any specific reasons why he just said he could not wait until Bush was out of office. He said that he disagreed with the abortion issue as well as the war on Iraq. He cited that his disagreement with the war stemmed from the fact that he has friends that are over there and he just wants them to return safe.
