Disenchanted Bush Voters Consider Crossing Over
Edited on Sun Feb-22-04 09:34 AM by ayeshahaqqiqa
This was in the NY Times today. Mods, if it is a dupe, sorry...didn't see it listed. If it should be in another location due to mention of a candidate's name, please move it. Thanks!

Three paragraphs from the end of the article:

"I'm upset about Iraq and the vice president and his affiliation with Halliburton," said Mr. Scarnado, a registered Republican who said that he had not always voted along party lines. "I think the Bush administration is coming out to look like old boy politics, and I don't have a good feel about that."

Many of those wavering in their loyalty to Mr. Bush were middle-class voters who said that his tax relief programs had disproportionately helped the wealthy.

"I voted for him, but it seems like he's just taking care of his rich buddies now," said Mike Cross, a farmer from Londonderry, N.H., adding, "I'm not a great fan of John Kerry, but I've had enough of President Bush."


We need to hammer home the lies about Iraq, the ruined economy, the rich buddies. These are obviously Bush's weak points with his own constituency.

1. Halliburton will be this administration's downfall...
that's why I can't imagine Cheney being on the ticket this fall.

I predict Bush will get McCain to run with him. Just a guess.
