OT Bush losing Republican voters
 
This pretty much tells the story:

Bush loses a lifelong Republican

Joan Ryan
Thursday, July 8, 2004



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



My parents, like all parents who grew up in New York, live in Florida.
They have voted down-the-line Republican in every election since they
came of age. Despite their shared Catholicism, they couldn't stand
John or Bobby Kennedy. Don't even talk to them about Ted. They still
believe Nixon got a raw deal. Needless to say, they supported the Bush
brothers in their respective elections, George for president and Jeb
for governor.

But a funny thing has happened on the way to the 2004 election. George
Bush is managing to do what no politician has done before him -- drive
my mother and father and others like them from their well-worn seats
on the GOP bus.

"I can't vote for him,'' my father said as we sat in the Florida room
of their adult-community condo. I nearly dropped the bottle of beer I
had pressed to my forehead. ("What, you're hot?'' my mother had asked.
The air conditioning was indeed on, as she assured me it was, set to a
frosty 80 degrees.)

"He completely underestimated how the Iraqis would respond,'' my
father said. We generally avoid politics when I visit. I'm from the
gay-marrying, war- protesting, Michael Moore-loving republic of the
San Francisco Bay Area. We tend to limit our current-events
discussions to the Giants' chances in the National League West.

"They thought all these people were going to jump up and praise
them,'' my father said. "There have been too many mistakes. We're
supposed to have control over there, and our boys keep getting killed.
It's a mishmash. The whole thing is a mishmash. He's backed himself
into a corner by trying to liberate a country, and the people don't
want you to be liberating them.''

His anger is about more than a difference of opinion with the
president about how and why he waged this particular war. There is a
corrosive quality to this presidency that has eaten away at what my
father believes his country stands for. Anecdotal evidence suggests he
is not alone. Republican leaders, however, will tell you the faithful
aren't wavering. As evidence, they point to a bipartisan poll
conducted for National Public Radio in May that found just 6 percent
of Republicans say they plan to vote for Democratic presidential
candidate John Kerry.

But the poll means little. It asked the wrong question. My father
would also have told them he doesn't plan to vote for Kerry. He'd cut
off his finger before using it to cast a vote for a limousine liberal
like Kerry. But his dislike for Kerry does not diminish his
disillusionment with Bush. He won't vote for either of them, he says,
leaving the top lines of his ballot blank for the first time in his
life.

"Maybe I'll write in your mother's name,'' he said.

America's bloody entry into Iraq, with the torture and beheadings and
charred bodies and gushing torrents of taxpayer money, is prompting a
nation to take stock of who it is and what it believes in. I want to
think that the war is diluting the blues and reds on the national
political maps, that people are sloughing off their color-coded cloaks
as Republicans and Democrats, conservatives and liberals, and
recognizing the common ideals that bind us as Americans.

Those ideals -- among them, compassion, freedom, diplomacy, liberty,
rule of law -- have been battered by a president who still can't
produce a compelling reason to have sent our men and women into battle
against a country that never attacked us. He tosses aside civil
liberties as if they were Kleenex, denies basic due process even to
American citizens -- a conceit the Supreme Court recently judged
unacceptable -- and believes the Geneva Conventions apply only when he
says they do.

My father has always enjoyed quoting the late Al Capp, the creator of
the comic strip "Li'l Abner,'' who defended his conservatism in the
1960s by saying that he was and always had been a moderate. He only
seemed conservative, he said, because the rest of the country had
shifted to the left. There was a code of living in Capp's world, and
in my father's. They believed in consistency bordering on stasis, even
if it meant becoming a walking anachronism in your own lifetime.

My father and others like him who have always been more or less
middle-of- the-road Republicans now feel out of step with this
Republican president. It is not because their own ideals have shifted
but because their president's have.

"It's terrible that in this country of so many good people,'' my
father said, "how an election can come down to the lesser of two
evils. You have to vote this time for who will do the least harm. Not
the most good, but the least harm.''

Sometimes we settle for a president who isn't inspiring or visionary
or all that brilliant. But we should never settle for one who
diminishes America by flouting its core ideals. The election is four
months away. My father could change his mind and, in the end, vote for
Bush.

But I'm hoping my mother's name shows up on at least one ballot in
Palm Beach County.

My mother was a life long Republican. She was a school teacher. She
resisted unionization of her job in the early 1970's (despite making the
same salary for 4 years)...
Dad was a W.W.II vet. Captured by the Nazi's in Holland. Spent several
months in a POW camp in Poland, Stalag IIb (a very large, violent, old
camp full of some 15,000 Russians and Poles). Was liberated by the Red
Army in April of 1945. Was reunited with his original unit in Hanover,
Germany, ironically the same town his paternal grandparents had come
from 50 years prior...
They couldn't vote for Truman. They liked Ike. My maternal grandmother
spent many hours volunteering for Ike. They had no use for Kennedy or
Johnson. They mildly supported Nixon and Ford/Dole when they lost to
Carter. They mildly supported Reagan/Bush in 1980. They seemed neutral
in 1984. In 1988 they supported Dukakis mildly. What? What they hell
happened? I'm not exactly sure...Dad died in 1990. In 1992 mom was a
volunteer and activist for Clinton/Gore. In 1996, she stopped
volunteering, due to health issues. She cut a nice check instead. Same
in 2000. In 2004, despite a very frail body, mom is VERY active in
supporting Kerry. Why? The realization that they had spent a lifetime
supporting a corrupt and evil group of elitists who had moved their
party further and further to the right.
Mom is volunteering now because my older sister has a 17 year old son
and simply put, mom doesn't want to see him become cannon fodder for
BushCo's sensless war. That and all the other crap he's pulled...

You should be proud of your parents. Unlike the blinded right wingers
that frequent here, they are intelligent enough to realize what The
Republican party has become, and are trying to change things.

Perhaps it's easier than that. She's now collecting on the government
dole, and wants those in power who favor the continuation of those
types of programs. She won't have to worry about increases in income
tax, or the greater burdens that government sponsored healthcare will
place on currently working people.

My Republican father-in-law is so disgusted with bush and Cheney, he
won't discuss politics, and politics is one of his favorite subjects.
I'm sure he won't vote for Kerry; my feeling is that he is going to sit
out this election.


My father won't discuss the current candidates, which is a far cry from 4
years ago when he thought Bush was way cool. All he'll say is he thinks that
all else being equal, it might not be a bad idea to elect someone who's so
wealthy that he's untouchable.

I assume nothing. All I know is that I've known people who for years
that while they were working, have complained about the government
taking money from them to pay out to "the needy". Now that they are on
the receiving end of S.S. or other government benefits, they tend to
loose their righteous indignation toward the role of public
assistance.

Considering the nature of human behavior it's not hard to understand
how people change their viewpoints when the shoe is on the other foot.

You stupid buffoon!! I STATED that bigamy is illegal in the United
States. Are you stating that Harry is, indeed a bigamist, or are you
just dumb?

A little common sense would serve you well, NOYB. You DO realize that
bigamy is illegal in the United States, don't you? You do realize that
I stated originally, that bigamy is illegal in the United States,
don't you? You do realize that you are now accusing someone of being a

I proved both of those, AND this one. Are you accusing Harry of being

bigamy is illegal in the United States? You see, stupid person, that

The correct answer is:

E) A mormon can't be married to 9 women and still remain a mormon.

Shawn.


Fact is, Shawn, all denials aside, mormon polygamy exists.

But I understand the need to put the good public face on it.

Are you really that stupid? You can only have one father-in-law
legally in the United States. Bigamy is against the law you know.

Each and every day your stupidity reaches a new high. That's our

Well, then, Charlie, please....explain to the group how you can have
more than one father in law? YOU said it...


You are indeed a dolt. I don't need to explain it to the NG, they

I thought you might try to extricate yourself from your stupid mistake
using this equally stupid argument. Know how I knew that? Because stupid
is as stupid does.


Are you stating that Harry is, indeed a bigamist, or are you just dumb?


Your punctuation in the above sentence is a bit dubious, but I think I
understand what you are trying to stammer out. Calm down. Take a deep
breath. You made another whopper mistake but we do not expect otherwise
from you, and it's not really possible for anyone to think less of you
than they already do.

To answer your question, in a certain sense, krause is, indeed, a
big-a-mist, because he's always trying to cloud issues with his personal
vitriol against any who dare to disagree with him. You, on the other
hand, have long been lost in a big-a-mist of marijuana smoke and I do
not expect you to emerge from it anytime soon. (How are those marijuana
plants doing?)

Speaking of dumb, I do have some good news for you! We have found your
long lost brother, the AWOL one, JAXAshby. We found him checking spark
plugs on diesel powered fishing trawlers in his skivvies.

** Not so fast Charlie...what if the mormon married two, three or four
sisters. How many fathers-in-law then?


I thought the answer would be obvious to you Don, but I'll slow down for you.

If the the sisters were all step-sisters, and not all legally adopted by
one man, then the answer would be 2, 3, or 4.

I accused you of being stupid, not a bigamist. If you *were* a
bigamist--and I never claimed that you were--then you'd be a stupid
bigamist. Since you claim not to be a bigamist, then you're just plain ol'
