... A total of 370 elected Democrats have switched and become Republicans since Clinton was elected in November of 1992... Phone calls and a letter to the Democratic National Committee asking how many Republicans have switched to Democrat have won the reply, "We aren't counting." This reminds me of people who are losing at tennis asking, "We aren't really keeping score, are we?"...

sorry about the double post...

Re the following comments, from this thread:

Sounds like Jeb's been visiting FR.

IMHO, I think Gov Bush does pop over to FR to lurk once in awhile, as this Nov 2002 thread demonstrates -- he knows he has friends here.

FYI. BTW, I'm sure some of you have already seen this thread, and if you have, please forgive this ping. But for those of you who may be new to this forum or somehow missed this thread, from Nov 2002, I thought you'd enjoy knowing about it. summer :)

Thanks summer. I've written Jeb a couple times, and sent him something after the interview the other night. He always responds, first the automatic and it doesn't take too long before he sends a personal one. Very nice man.

[summer]

He is very nice. I think he also has the patience of a saint, and is quite forgiving too. It is remarkable to me that Dem Party leaders have tried to paint him as some kind of demonic figure. But it doesn't work, if you give Gov Bush half a chance to show who he is and what he is about.

kewl!

good interview with Hannity and Jeb. Too bad Fox is obsessed with all things Laci. I heard Jeb ripped on Clinton. Good for him.

Thanks for reminding me of that email summer. I remember seeing this thread when it was first posted. Since Jeb reads and answers many of the emails he receives, it wouldn't surprise me one bit to find out that he also visits FR. What an honor eh? Thanks again summer, and thanks to Gov. Bush for all the fine work he does. I'm retiring in December and may even choose Florida as my retirement home.

I do have some gripes about Jeb, but that's a very nice thing he did.

I think it's a wonderful sentiment.

Thank You Governor Bush.

[potlatch]

Thanks for the ping, summer. I remember seeing it before, and it's neat to think of all the 'important' people who read what we write!!

[summer]

Yes, it's very interesting! Thanks for your post, potlatch. :)

Before I found this thread, I E-Mailed Governor Bush thanking him for his action and apologizing for reading him the riot act last week!

[AnimalLover]

That is way cool. I love the Bush family.
