I was listening to John Dean who describes himself as a Reagan Republican and does not like the Bush Presidency which he described as an Imperial Presidency on Stilts and Steroids. Remember there are people like Edward Brook, former Republican senator from Mass., who feel ousted by a Republican Party that is so right wing they feel like moderate Democrats. Dean said is feeling was he was now more like a liberal Democrat than a Republican. The Republican Party started out in the 1850's as a radical left wing party.. with Abolitionists, women and Blacks supporting it. Now it's base is in the Old South with what was the old Dixiecrat voting base.

Many Republicans hate Bush's financial irresponsibility in mortgaging our children's future to pay for a war in Iraq while our infrastructure is falling apart, our jobs are outsourced and our economy is hemorrhaging away. To say nothing of Bush violating privacy laws.... torture .... et cetera.
