"Just Don't Vote.." What Repubs opposing bush will be "doing......."
Cindy Adams says...

February 16, 2004 -- HAPPY Presidents Day. A columnist is the eyes, ears and mouth of the world. Today, Presidents Day, I'm not the Mouth. I'm the Ears. I report exactly what I heard at a corralful of Republicans. Types who've Made It. Successful. Comfortable. Two homes, two cars, mostly two marriages. They weren't speaking to the economy, outsourcing of jobs, Halliburton thing, abortion, gay marriage, cloning or old boy stuff as in why no one at Enron's gone to jail. Weren't interested in Bush's National Guard war record since they recognized that as Dem political trashing.

They were hot only about this war. About American and other foreign lives being lost. About non Weapons of Mass Destruction hysteria slowly osmosing into the well-Saddam's-a-bad-dude-so-it's-right-we-took-him-down-anyway philosophy. One staunch flag-waving patriotic rah-rah-America soul who'd never voted Democrat and doubted he ever would said he simply wanted not to vote for Bush. I now report on something I'd not heard before. He was told: "Just don't vote." Don't vote?! The realization suddenly occurred that violating our nation's greatest privilege might be President Bush's newest opposition. Anti-war Republicans who believe he's vulnerable won't vote.

4. Dear Republican Americans: Ignoring a Massive Problem
won't make it go away.

please do the patriotic thing, and vote for someone who is demonstrating that they have an honorable plan for reversing the BushCo course, and building America once again into a free, proud, prosperous and honorable nation.

Every vote counts. Choose wisely.

6. Oh BS ~ Let them stay home
If they stay home they not only won't vote for Bush* they won't vote for Congressman or Senator either. We need to pick up thirteen house seats and three Senate seats. Stay home you disillusioned Republicans and don't feel bad. You were had by the Bush* Cabal and you should not give it anymore support.

5. It's too bad their minds are so closed though that they can't even see
a potential candidate to vote for. Republicans are so easily brainwashed, and apparently so lazy that they can be told lies for decades (like conservatives are the fiscally responsible party, or conservatives are the moral party, or conservatives care about the military members) and they believe it despite the mountains of clear-cut evidence that says otherwise.
When are they going to wise up to the fact that the corporatists have been conning them forever to the rich man's advantage.
