Democrats Supporting Bush v. Republicans supporting Kerry
I know that some Republicans i.e. Sean Hannity boast about the Democrats that have decided to support Bush in this years elections. Does anyone hear feel that the news media has been reporting the story? I am asking this question because I know that the news media has not reported the Republicans that are now supporting Kerry. I am considering sending a e-mail to some of the news organizations to encourage them to do a story about the Republicans who are suporting Kerry. My main point for this is to make sure people realize that Kerry is getting support from some major Republicans. I just want there to be fair and balanced reporting on this subject.

1. Those are not dems
Those are people who just like to call themselves that. They don't act, they don't get involved, they don't care.


There's a difference.

2. Start here ....
1. Start with
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=103&topic_id=80433&mesg_id=80433: "At current count, TWELVE newspapers (plus the American Conservative magazine) have “switched” party candidates this year, either (a) supporting Kerry over Bush or (b) refusing to endorse either candidate while refusing to endorse a Democrat (or in one case, Kerry specifically). While in the past, a few papers have flipped back and forth, this is the highest level of “switching” or failure to endorse in newspaper history. Ever. I’ve listed the ones I’ve found to date – with extracts from their endorsements re: why. Note – that ALL of these papers endorsed Bush in 2000.
... more (excerpts re: why they won't endorse Bush)...

===
2. See link below for list of nine really good articles re: Catholics endorsing Kerry and/or NOT endorsing Bush ("Catholics Speak Out" list)

3. See link below for list of Business Leaders, Ex Diplomats (including republicans), etc. endorsing Kerry ("More endorsements" list).
