I haven't been here in forever but...

[Repub]

I am not thrilled with Bush's performance the last 4 years, and as a diehard Republican I don't know who I will vote for.

I am, however, leaning slightly towards Kerry, because it seems like a change is needed.

Anyway, just wanted those of you who remember me to know I love you.

I'll be checking back here often to see what DU has to offer

[laruemtt]

1. welcome back, Repub!

we'd be so happy to have you among us again. even if you just want to hang out. there is hope - things can change!

[greenbriar]

2. find the transcript of Jimmy Carter's speech tonight

if that doesn't persuade you then...

[K-W]

8. Oh and get clintons too.

[kentuck]

3. We're all Americans first.

Aren't we?

[acmavm]

4. Please, listen with you heart and with your mind and you won't have any

problem deciding who would be the best President for our country.

[Doctor_J]

5. not thrilled?

which is your favorite part? The war (thousands dead, thousands more maimed)? The 9/11/01 incompetence? The job losses? The deficit? The $1B/week that we're taking from our children and giving to Haliburton? The secrecy? The Patriot Act? The anthrax bomber? The arsenic in the water? The fact that he deserted the ANG and lied about it? Help me, here.

[Repub]

12. Basically...

it is his arrogance....I have not seen Fahrenheit 9/11 and I can't STAND Michael Moore, but the scene I saw pissed me off. It's the one where he says, "Some call you the elite, but I call you my base"

Just really ticks me off

[greenbriar]

17. go see the rest of it!

forget about who put it together and just go see it!

[merh]

6. Welcome back and please ask any questions that come to mind . . .

:hi:

[librechik]

7. OMG! Repub! We'd about given up on you! Welcome back!

maybe we can tip you over a bit further.

Come join us whenever you feel like it.

Your level headed perspective is much appreciated.

[nini]

9. like Randi Rhodes said today..

your party left you...


I can't imagine how you must feel.


stick around

[Nevernose]

10. The prodigal son returns!

:hi:

[comsymp]

11. Hey, stranger-

FWIW, you've been missed. Hopefully, we all agree that we want what's best for our country and our world. In this case (and given the past 4 years) it's gotta be Kerry.

Hope you'll de-lurk more often. I always appreciated your POV.

[CO Liberal]

13. REPUB!!!!!!

How the hell are you??? :hi:

Warm thoughts winging your way from Colorado.....

[Lydia Leftcoast]

14. Welcome back, Repub!

Nice to see you around.

On the matter of your party loyalty, I come from a family of former Republicans. Except for one of my brothers, we've realized that the Republican party now is not the Republican party of Dwight D. Eisenhower, Mark Hatfield, Barry Goldwater, or Nelson Rockefeller.

Besides, the DLC is where the Republican party used to be. :evilgrin:

[Walt Starr]

15. Welcome back, Repub!!!

Long time no see!!!

[CatWoman]

16. I love you too, Repub

nice to see you again :hi:

[Repub]

18. CatWoman!!!!

Man, it's been so long...I need to come here more often

Thaks you guys, for offering the other views :)

[realisticphish]

19. hey repub

just a pitiful newbie...im curious how you haven't gotten banned? hey, you sound cool, and very open-minded, just wondering...

:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[Repub]

20. well, y'all are open-minded....

I haven't been banned because from Day 1 I have refused to be uncivil and rude....I come here to get the other point of view :)

[realisticphish]

22. Cool

god ive missed rational discourse..all the repubs i seem to meet are of the uncivil and rude variety...


:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[Repub]

24. well.....

I guess I can be civil and rude if you want me to ;-D

haha

I can see the point of most of you DemoRats (kidding!!!!) so I come here for civil and interesting discourse. I like political discussion of a civil and intelligent nature

[SoCalDem]

21. Hey, Hey.. It's our "pet" Repub

:hi:

welcome back... where ya been??

[Repub]

23. SoCal!!!!

I've just been sitting back and watching! That's why I came here...I've seen a lot, and I'm far from thrilled

[ScreamingMeemie]

25. Hello Repub!

Good to have you here on this wonderful night. Good to know that there are many of us who still hold dear the fact that we really are in this together...That We, The People, are what counts!

Hugs,Laura

[newyawker99]

26. Hi Repub!

It is good to see you again! :hi:

[callous taoboy]

27. Welcome back!

As a school teacher I ask you to please be aware that bush's educational policies are devastating the classroom environment. The media isn't even addressing this. Please go to Kerry's website and check out the direction he thinks education should move in.

[soleft]

28. Hi Repub!
