Discussion w/ 3 repugs today...not going with AWOL this time (Florida)...

[cthrumatrix]

I talked with a couple of repugs today ...that asked me my opinion "first".

I said that I'm going Kerry... since I don't trust Bush AND that there is still a repug senate/house so that the country will have
it's "checks & balances"..once again.


They liked that "rational observation"...not "bush bashing"..but pointing out the deficits and lack of balance budgets get's them at "thier own game".

It's worked several times...SOME are "looking for a reason" not to vote for bush (and not feel bad about it).


Just thought I would share.

1. Good approach.

Hope anyone who still votes for Bush votes out a Republican congressman or senator. I want a new Congress.

If you're a true Republican, you'll vote for Kerry

By Pete McCloskey

Although I'm a lifelong Republican, I will vote for John Kerry on Nov. 2. The choice seems simple under traditional principles of the Republican Party.

I first met John Kerry in the spring of 1971. Each of us was just back from Vietnam -- he as a Navy officer and I as a member of Congress -- and were appalled by what we had seen there. I found Kerry to be idealistic, courageous and, above all else, truthful to a fault. He demonstrated courage in Vietnam, but as Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. once said, the courage to speak against prevailing opinion in civil strife is often greater than that demanded on the battlefield.

During Kerry's public career after his election to the Senate, he has clearly grown and matured. I believe he is incapable of deliberate deceit or dissembling. This alone represents a refreshing hope for a return of public faith in our government.

That Kerry has attained the solid support of former Secretary of Defense William Perry, with whom he has worked for years on issues of nuclear proliferation, confirms his ability to study, listen and reach sound judgments.
