For what it is worth, some of the more rowdy boys on the firearms
discussion groups have been talking about voting for Obama in the
primaries in their states in order to help him win, because they think
he'll be easier to defeat in the general. In other words, they were
talking about *not* voting in the GOP primaries, as they usually do, and
crossing over to vote for Obama.

You don't suppose Republicans are responsible for the record turnouts in
the Democratic primaries? Nah, I think Obama is bringing record numbers
into the fold. Either that, or record numbers of Americans are motivated
by the past eight years of Bush.


No, I think Democrats are *motivated* like never before by the
possibility and probability of removing the Republicrooks from the White
House and giving their party a working majority in Congress. I think
some Republicans are playing the "crossover game" and voting for Obama
because they believe "white America" in the end will not vote for a
black candidate for president. It would not surprise me to learn that a
couple of the more rapid Republicans here did that. I think and hope
they are wrong.

Bush has been the ultimate disaster for this country. It seems only fair
that his party pay the price for that.

I am enjoying watching the rabid Republicans attempting to destroy John
McCain because all they really are doing is showing the world what
losers they are. McCain is a decent, honorable man with a long and
positive record of public service. He should have been the GOP nominee
in 2000. By trying to "swiftboat" him, the rabid righties are only
showing themselves up as slime.



Gosh, Harry. Why must you keep up the 'filter' pretense. There's only one
Republican here who's suggested such a thing.
