Hardcore Conservative/Bush Supporter Now Considering Kerry

[Beetwasher]

I was stunned this morning when my "pet" conservative came into my office and claimed he's seriously considering voting for Kerry in '04. This is a guy who last year said nothing would make him abandon his support of Bush. He had a visceral distaste for Democrats and was all for supporting the president and the war. He's now changed his mind. He's a Vietnam vet and sees the idiots in charge now making the same mistakes that were made in vietnam. He no longer trusts the Chimp and never will again. This is an astounding about face. This guy was hardcore and practically intransigent. But little by little I opened his eyes and he is now definitely NOT voting for the Chimp in '04 and was impressed with a Kerry speech he heard last night.

1. Just wait to see what happens if Clark runs...

2. This is great!

What a good sign for Kerry, even a dyed in the wool repub can see why he is the best man to lead this country!

[BOSSHOG]

3. A perfect example of what happens when

one does not get all of ones news from Faux and limbaugh. Obviously he did some "independent" thinking.

4. interesting

If they want a warmonger, an wealthy elitist, a corporate whore, NAFTA supporting, skull and bones, without the dyslexia then Kerry is the man!

6. More Bull and Scones for everyone !

7. Kerry could end this problem easily

Just issue a press release stating he has renounced his membership. If his elite fraternity is more important to him than his run for presidency, well that's his decision.

8. Problem?

It's not a problem for Kerry. The amount of people who won't vote for him because of his membership in a fraternity is negligible at best. That being said, I personally haven't thrown my support behind any candidate yet, I'm merely conveying an anecdote...

11. Thanks for doing so

this kind of story makes my day. And you're right, the anyone-but-a-Skull-and-Bones-member vote is about 5 or 6 people hereon DU. :eyes:

15. I'm beginning to think it is even less than that,

if you know what I mean. When I see that silly refrain, it seems more desperate each time. And damn, don't it make them mad that we won't argue with them about it anymore. Such fun.

16. Maybe we should enlighten people that are not as well read on it

Here a link on some of it:

The Skull and Bones - Yale University
The occult Bush family 'dossier'
When Saddam Hussein talked of 'the devil Bush' he may not have been so far from the truth. U.S. president George W. Bush, his father and grandfather are proven initiates of this multi-generational occult lodge. George W. was tapped (initiated) in 1968 at the group's Yale University HQ, a mausoleum known as 'the tomb'.
Adolf Hitler was also obsessed with the occult, in his case the Thule Society. The Jolly Roger, "der Todtenkopf" was an emblem of Hitler's SS. If the Nazis' occult lodges had been exposed and shut down, not treated as a taboo, millions of lives could have been saved. The second world war need never have happened. Unless you want this occult order running a totalitarian West and their 'New World Order' - please - do your bit to expose the George W. Bush and the bonesmen.

9. that would be great

and then all he would have to do is renounce his vote for the illegal war, donate millions of dollars to charity, change his views on unfair trade, give back all the corporate money, and get a new personality.
Maybe then he would be electable.

13. beware: skull 'n' bones gonna getcha

5. I too heard the Kerry speech and was very impressed.

The man should hook up with Dean to form the Kerry Dean ticket. Good odds will result.

[Beetwasher]

12. That would be a mighty strong ticket

I wish I had seen the speech!

[blm]

10. Kerry was strong last night.

I never tire of listening to a man who can speak in full paragraphs on his own. I loved it in Gore and love it in Kerry.

14. I had the same experience !

- with a die-hard Republican friend. He said he won't vote for Bush if we are not a) out of Iraq in a few months and b) bringing in international peace-keepers. When I said that neither is going to happen, he asked to my total astonishment who the Democrats will be running in 04.

17. Good news for Kerry

I've been impressed with some of the Republicans who have come to Meetups for Dean too. They like his stand on "fiscal responsibility".
