I think enough people feel that way, yes.

GWB is going to have to get each and every single vote he got last time (plus more). He already isn’t going to get them – and rightly so, IMO.

The only question that remains is how many representatives and senators go down with him (also rightly so, IMO).

At any rate, the republicans have a lot of wising up to do before they get elected to anything important again… if ever. But that’s not necessarily bad and nobody’s going to lose sleep over it.

My father is a liberal lefty. He is a college professor in the Northeast. He is also a career Air Force Officer (retired).

I asked him if he would vote for Kerry. He said he does not plan on voting at all if Keryy is the nominee. Dad was in Vietnam in 1966. He also taught at the Air Force Academy in the late 60's and we knew many a brave student who went on to serve in Vietnam. The Academy students were treated like dirt during that time period.

Kerry is NOT appreciated by the military or military families at all. Not even by many democrats in the military.

Bwahahaha, what a democrat shill this Cindy is! She writes a column with a title designed to create negativism in Pubby ranks, then claims she's an unbiased journalist. The democrats are even more disgusting when they use their journo shills to manipulate the voters because it proves they arrogantly disdain the voters as dolts to be toyed with and maneuvered, manipulated and exploited. In this case, Ms Cindy is trying to turn a few Pubby votes into non-votes, in service to her demigod democRATS.

My brother-in-law says he is not going to vote. He has always voted Republican but feels Bush is governing from the right (tell me about it) but ran as a moderate. The war thing really set him off.

The good news is that he lives in Illinois so his vote wouldn't have been counted anyway.

They weren't speaking to the economy, outsourcing of jobs, Halliburton thing, abortion, gay marriage, cloning or old boy stuff as in why no one at Enron's gone to jail. Weren't interested in Bush's National Guard war record since they recognized that as Dem political trashing.

They sound like Democrats or at least RINOs. A plant from the Post?

I had dinner on Sat. night with a couple of people who feel this way.

I very calmly, and I think, rationally, explained why I was voting for GW, what he had done to protect this country - my #1 issue. We talked through the ecomony, jobs, corporate scandals, etc.I hope I made some headway.

We have a problem. Time to face it, and get out there and work for Bush's re-election.

I think he has Republican support for the war, but his ILLEGAL plan might prove to be a different story.

- Don't pick on me. Me, I make no comment. Me, I just report.-

I heard Michael Savage say on the radio recently people should not vote but not over the war issue. It was over the immigration issue (and something else too, can't remember). He said both parties are the same on the big issues - selling out the country, both were hopelessly corrupt and beholden to their corporate masters. "We the people" have no say or representation. The idea behind not voting was that it would show the sham of the two parties and representative democracy for what it was. If only 10% of the eligible voters participated the politicians couldn't claim pious high ground about how free and democratic we were as a nation. Or something to that effect.

Hardly!

Polls do not show anything of the kind.

The war is a democrat issue, not ours.
