to read a LTTE in our local newspaper yesterday from an old business acquaintance whose politics I never considered (although we live in a very RED region of Washington state. Not far from the recent Sen. Patty Murray threatener guy...).
This guy's letters stated he'd been Republican all his life (he's in his 60s now) and he is so repulsed by the Republicans of now that he can't imagine ever voting for one again. He called them out as the obstructionists and non-patriots they are.
This is a man with his own business and a lot of clients, so he's taking a risk in making his political views known publicly. Hopefully he'll get more people to think, and he represents a growing constitutency of people with actually some intelligence who are disgusted with the GOP and ready to bail on them!
