I saw that segment of SeeBS news tonight. The 2 "former Republicans" were such obvious plants they couldn't have fooled a 4-yr old. No suprise to find the geezer was a long-time Bush-basher.
In order to win now, the Democrats have to get some people who voted for Bush in 2004 to vote Donk in 2006. I just don't see that many people who supported Bush last time being comfortable supporting Cut-And-Run Democrats now.
So to make them feel more comfortable, the Donks plant these phony "Former Bush Voters", so people think that it is a reasonable position to shift to the Defeatocrat Party. "If all these people are doing it," the reasoning is supposed to go, "it can't be as ridiculous as it appears at first glance."
The thing is, you can't produce a receipt to prove you voted for Bush in 2006. If you go up to a reporter and say you've changed from Bush to Donk, he will pretty much accept that statement at face value and put you on the air. So it is a very simple matter for the local Democrat Party office to plant "converts" in the crowd, using the old Revivalist trick. But these people all seem to say pretty much the same thing when a microphone is shoved in their face.
It just doesn't pass the smell test. Every single one of them seems to say that they strongly supported Bush and the WOT, but have grown disaffected as the Iraq war has gone on, and are now willing to vote for the party that is sky-writing "SURRENDER AMERICA" across the sky with their flying brooms. If they were mushy-middlers on the WOT, that might be plausible. But very few people will have gone from from Gung-Ho to Nancy Pelosi in two short years. That's just not going to happen that often.
