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... Doug Kanter wrote: "jps" wrote in message ... In article , atl_man2 says...

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. Dave |

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?) You said "bigamist". That is a person who is married more than once, at the same time. What to HELL does that have to do with the above blather? 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. Well, mama always said life is like a box of chocolates, never know what you're gonna get, but you two seem to have eaten of the same brownie... -- Charlie God, you are stupid. |

"basskisser" wrote in message m... "NOYB" wrote in message ink.net... Choice "E"...all of the above. 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 bigamist, don't you? 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' stupid. |

Of course you can't. You jumped to a conclusion about something I wrote and have been running with it ever since as if that is what I meant. Your conclusion is wrong, however, carry on. Maybe your daddy warbucks will come to your defence again. Again, let's get back to your original point, shall we? The only point here is the one on the top of your head. Time to quit smoking the weed there, boy. -- Charlie |
