Oh so many democrat talking points.
What a fake.
That was my reaction as well, particularly since it was posted by somebody who just signed up today. However, a little Googling demonstrates that the article at least is real and that the author is in fact who he is alleged to be. So, the question boils down to how real a Republican he ever was and whether Republican values have in fact changed in some significant way.
I have to admit that I happen to know someone who was really a life long republican but now, because of hatred for the Iraq war, spouts every democratic talking point. A complete 180 in every category. Of course he is a journalism professor so perhaps it was in the cards all along.
