Wish this letter had run in our local paper.

More than a few Dems will be doing this very same thing.

My GOD! This is so persuasive and well-reasoned- I am sending it to all my Dem friends. These friends are confused at this moment- they've struggled to put these very thoughts into words in conversations with me. Zell is correct- it is a national party no more.

We must all pray that there are more Democrat patriots like Rafferty that will vote Republican for the same reasons. Only the delusional think the Democratic party hasn't changed for the worse. It isn't the same party it was in the way back...it's been taken over by a bunch of crazy liberal ex-hippies trying to get what they wanted back in the 1970's. John Kerry makes even Bill Clinton look like a statesman in comparison!

This endorsement and the insight of the Pittsburgh press on the other side of PA have it right. The public sees through the RAT lies, and understands what is important...PA will go for the President and the Culture of Life!

I heard Franny Rafferty on the Michael Smirconish radio show this AM in Phila.

Smirconish read this entire article and then had Rafferty on taking calls. Rafferty said that there are many 'Rizzocrats' and 'Reagan Democrats' from his S. Phila neighboorhood, and throughout Philadelphia, that will be voting for Bush!

"With profound faith and a belief in God unsurpassed only by the framers of our Constitution, the Democratic Party was your ticket to the American dream."

I never know what to even think when I hear leftists refer to their love of our Constitution, except maybe to wonder if they've gotten it mixed up with the French constitution, that is, if France actually has one.

I think old-school working-class Dems had a better understanding of the Constitution than many current Republicans. Guns. Church. Freedom of Association.

Rafferty was one of our City Councilman here in Philly from 1979 to 1991 (back when Casey was Governor and busy resisting Clintoon abortion mandates as unconstitutional).

I heard it too.

Franny is the guy who punched John Street (current mayor) when they were both on Philly city council!
