Disenchanted Bush Voters Consider Crossing Over (Independent joins GOP in just two weeks time!)

One more question please, what is a "Moby Republican"?

[diotima]

I just love this idea that the media is trying to feed us that people who are unhappy with Bush because he isn't conservative enough are turning to Kerry. Kerry is a virtual socialist. I mean..get real.

[Triple Word Score]

Yeah, but don't forget what has happened to poor Registered. Sometimes it's GOOD to fool the media, and sometimes...

:shudder:

One more question please, what is a "Moby Republican"?

Some rapper who calls himself "Moby" said that DemoRats should pretend to be Republicans and call up talk shows and say they can no longer support Bush and to go in pro-life chat rooms and claim that Bush forced his girlfriend to get an abortion.

I am sure that Registered is just fine, didn't hurt a bit... right?? did I miss something?? =o)

[Neets]

We should all just play stupid...play along with the game..and then watch them all go into cardiac arrest after they predict a Kerry landslide and Bush registers an overwhelming win.

NOW THAT would be priceless.

[Dec31,1999]

The TV and the press are full speed ahead to defeat Bush. And the sheeple gobble it up. As Joni Mitchle would say: You don't know what you've got till it's gone.

Imagine another Dem president: implementing pi$$ poor foreign policy decisions, higher taxes, homosexual marriage the norm, infanticide a choice, more governmental intrusion into private affairs, stricter gun control policies and Lot's more soft-on-crime judges and suicide bombers dealt with kid gloves.

To the NYTimes and Rosenthal, No thanks. And I'm a moderate!

It's the Supreme Court that makes this election so crucial. Several of the justices are just hanging on till the election--then they WILL be retiring. That's why I wince when I see FReepers bashing Bush. We not only need Bush to win but we also need the Senate's paralysis to be cured by an overwhelming conservative mandate.

Nice job ambrose!

And how many Gore voters have they interviewed that are thanking heaven that he was not president on 9/11.

[diotima]

The musician Moby thought it would be real good "strategery" for leftists to hang around conservative places on the internet and say things bad about Bush. For instance he brilliantly recommended his drones go visit a Pro-Life chat room and say things like "I heard Bush had/paid/for/performed an abortion. Can you believe that?" so that people will vote for the real prolife candidate..uh..John Kerry I guess. He suggested they do that on all fronts.

You know like a cyber-seminar caller: "I have voted Republican my whole life, in fact I invented the GOP but I don't think I can vote for Bush again because he clubs baby seals and poisons baby formula.

[OldFriend]

Sadly, three US military personnel die every day in service related accidents.

[Wolverine]

Nationwide newspapers.

[jackbill]

How much time and money did the NYT spend to find these frauds?

[Sabertooth]

Yep, Conservatives and others enabling Democrats — again.

Nope, Republican candidates taking constiuencies for granted are the ones who risk enabling Democrats -- again.

I know, I know, the Bushes have birthrights to Republican votes, but just too many stubborn Americans don't see it that way.

[mylife]

Whats that Smell?!!....Oh it's this article

[Triple Word Score]

Well, sure, they do, but they die in peacetime too. They die in automobile accidents, in falls, from illness and overdoses, in training accidents. I think it likely that a disciplined combat unit under good leadership, with the right procedures and adequate equipment, is safer in Iraq than left to their own devices in civilian life. That's all I am saying--cold hard actuarial data is lacking, so I can only guess. Those particular 500 who died of combat-related injuries might all be alive if they were not deployed to Iraq, but another 500 would have died of normal causes in their place, if they were all home.

Any death diminishes us, but we need to be realistic when we talk about the "500 who died in Bush's war." This is not an exceptional level of casualties for such a great gain.

Thanks for the link.

Bremen Wyoming Republic Council

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE!!

---

February 22, 2004

Bremen, Wyoming- The Bremen Wyoming Republican Council has voted by a 12-2 margin to endorse John Kerry over their own incumbant President.

"We hope that this will send a wake-up call to the establishment in Washington" said BWRC Chairman Jimmy Dean "We think that spending cuts in vital services like AIDS spending is putting our nation at risk".

It was just one of many complaints that this group of 'staunch' Republicans has outlined. Some of the others are that the Presidents re-election campaign has taken attention away from the war on terror and finding Bin Laden.

"As a rural community, we have been hit hard by massive cuts in farm supports" said Billy Joel, another member of the Council who serves as Communications Director. "This indidious hate-filled crackdown on innocent muslims in our country should be considered an international crime".

Farmer Mike Moore agrees that it is hightime that the President faces reality: "Giving me a tax cut doesn't put money into my pocket".

"Bush has abandoned our country, he is a deserter as our national leader" said Madonna Clark who serves as Assistant Public Relations Director for the organization "The time has come for the American people to make a choice between fighting the terrorists or living in peace with them".

One of the two dissenters did not agree with endorsing John Kerry was rancher Allan Gore "We are Republicans, if we want to be Democrats we can go across the street".

"Just because Bush is a miserable failure doesn't mean we should abandon our party" he told them.

Some of us are thinking about crossing over, but not to RAT like the article implies.

Not happening.

I'll wait to hear what Nader has to say about jobs/outsourcing.
