Another Republican NOT Voting for Bush
I swear there are letters to the Boston Globe everyday like this one:

http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/letters/articles/2004/02/08/i_voted_for_bush_but_not_again/

SNIP
"When I voted for Bush in 2000, many of my friends told me he would bankrupt our country. I used to laugh. Now I don't. I also used to be a registered Republican. Now I'm not. "

1. They're everywhere
Add to the disgusted Republicans the repentant Nader voters, and we're talking some votes!

2. The worse part is....
that these same repukes will re-vote a repuke 4 years hence. They'll
be "brought back into the herd" and will diss the dems all over
again...
Same vicious cycle... :eyes:

3. Here's another one
As someone who has voted Republican since the days of Franklin Roosevelt, I do not care who the Democrats nominate to run for president. He has my vote.

As a senior who has lived through the administrations of presidents starting with Herbert Hoover, I can firmly state that George W. Bush is the worst president of my lifetime and if the American voters have any intelligence they should get rid of him and all his associates before they totally destroy the United States.

4. They're in the
Grand Rapids "repuke" Press, too. This has been happening since late summer. In years past if there was one "anti-Republican" letter it was shocking...I'm buying the paper again just to read all the "ain't voting for bush" letters to the editor.

Michael Moore was recently in Grand Rapids and the pug Betsy DeVos, chairman of the Michigan pugs slammed him. Every day there are letters, lots of them, ripping her for the hypocrite she is. Unbelievable for Grand Rapids.

6. A family in my neighborhood --
fourth-generation Republicans, have changed their registration from R to independent because they are so disgusted with Bush*. They can't bring themselves to register Democratic, but they will vote for anyone the Dems put up. They voted R in 2000, but started to get uncomfortable as early as the Supreme Court selection. It's funny, I think they hate Bush even more than I do, because they feel they have been suckered.

So that's three more votes gone from his column.
