BBC: Tory spokesman backing Democrat

Tory Alan Duncan has said he is prepared to work for the Democrat campaign of John Kerry to prevent a second Bush term in the White House.

Mr Duncan has said he feels that Neo-Conservatives such as defense secretary Mr Rumsfeld are making the world a "more dangerous place" because of the way they are dealing with the threat from international terrorism.

Remember when Kerry said foreign leaders were encouraging him in private and the GOP demanded he prove it? Here ya' go.

1. So, if the Bush administration is still interested...

...in finding out who some of the Europeans are who want Kerry to win they can just read this article. Take that.

2. Watch them all begin to line up

and come out of the woodwork.

3. It will backfire

Sheeple will react negatively and will vote for Bush just because damned foreigners are meddling in good-ol-USA.

5. yeah, but the Brits are the "good foreigners"

Watch their brains melt down when they try to process this contrary information. It will be like Captain Kirk matching wits with Nomad: "Faulty, faulty...must sterilize".
edit: cannot spell foreigners, oh well, they aren't Americans anyway.

6. Good-ol-USA

meddles in other countries all the time.

4. Ye Olde Log Castle

For what it's worth, Duncan has libertarian leanings and is openly homosexual.

7. Interesting.

The Labor Party is captured by right-wingers who've taken the "third way" to its obvious conclusion. The Conservatives--or a part of them--are part of the vast portion of the political spectrum that see that neo-conservatism is a danger. Who would have thought? I'm sure that Thatcher backs the bloodshed however.

8. bush is too right wing

for the brit right wingers.

i guess they stop short of fascism.

9. he's doing it for

the same reason Dems mention McCain. To sound more moderate, and make their electorate happy. It just gives them a little edge against Tony Blair.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

10. These may be the equivalent of our TR Republicans?!?

Welcome aboard!!!

11. The party of Maggie Thatcher sez....

We knew Ronnie Raygun, and YOU, Bush*, are NO Ronnie Raygun!

12. That's a campaign ad right there

good spin.
