"Republicans Defecting to Kerry's Camp"

[GreenPartyVoter]

CHICAGO - Ohio resident Bob Stewart says of President Bush: "He's been a world-class polarizer. I don't know if I can stomach four more years with him as president. He misled us into the war in Iraq and has mismanaged everything since."

A raging Democrat? No, Stewart is a Republican, one of an unknown number of such voters who plan to back John Kerry, out of despair over the war in Iraq and disappointment over budget deficits and social policies.

It remains to be seen whether they can tip the scales in hotly contested middle American states like Ohio as the Democratic nominee courts them and battles Bush in the final three-month dash to November's election. In past elections defections from both parties have sometimes canceled each other out.

Kerry and running mate John Edwards kicked off that fight on Friday, leaving Boston and the concluded party convention for a two-week campaign swing across 21 states.

1. Better tell the media the Country is tidal waving in Kerry's

direction. Or they will have to get on that bus to crawford with bush.

I love reading stories like this because it confirms that the Country is getting less brainwashed.

2. Bush and Company

Have made it clear that moderate and moderately conservative Republicans have NO place in the modern Republican party.

Look at it this way:

On a +10 to -10 scale (+10 being communist and -10 being fascist), the modern Democratic party (in general) is at near a 3 or 4. The neo-cons have hijacked the Republican party to make them about a -7.

Any conservative -6 or greater is a liberal, un-American, un-patriotic and evil. The neo-cons will turn off the moderate and moderately conservative voter.

One of two things will happen. Either the outcast republicans will switch and vote for Kerry, or (more likely), they will stay home because they can't bring themselves to vote for a Democrat.

Either way, Chimpy McFlightsuit is in so much trouble and the WORST has yet to come.

3. HI, Sammy. *wave* Interesting thoughts. I agree. We should be

seeing a lot of moderate Repubs backing Kerry this fall. I'd like to think that they are more loyal to their ideals than to a party.

4. let this turning tide become a tsunami that creates a Kerry landslide ...

... that's the usual way that elections go up against an incumbent: it slowly and then precipitously turns one way or the other; and this one looks primed to go in favor of Kerry BIG TIME ... (from our lips to God's ears)
