I'm gonna say it. Not all Repubs are bad. Just those who voted for Bush.

I know quite a few Republicans who HATE George Bush & voted for Kerry.
I'm saying this because I saw someone post that James Garner is a repuke. Well, so is Clint Eastwood. But I dont think he's bad.
There needs to be a new word for Bush voters. Painting all republicans with the same brush seems- well, wrong. I guess the word we use now is Freeper- but I am thinking of another word that doesn't cause instant nausea.
Just my 2 cents.......

1. I use "Bush Supporters," though that's too long.. |
|
On a message board I run for teachers, Republican teachers who can't stand Bush make sure I say "Bush supporters" instead of "Republican" when I post about their adventures.

2. Good point about teachers! |
|
They hate bushie since he's cut funding for education by 90%.
Also, include some repuke politicians in the list of people that aren't so bad. I heard a repuke congressman say last month that bushie's "Leave Every Child Behind" law was the worst thing congress has EVER passed. The same night I heard a former repuke state rep that's now a middle school principal say that he will no longer make children cry by subjecting them to bushie's demands. He will lose his job, but he received a standing ovation from the crowd when he said that.

4. James garner was never a repuke. |
|
That party asked him to run years age, and he laughed. I believe I read here a couple of weeks ago that he is a liberal. I think Clint Eastwood is a republican like my Dad. Life long, and voted for Kerry.

7. My dad landed at Omaha beach, and fought at the Bulge. |
|
He was never anybody's fool. He can't stand bush. Listening to him now, I have a sneaking feeling that he voted Clinton for the second term.

6. My Nana is a republican, she can't remember the last one she vote for |
|
she thinks it was in the 50's. She like to stay registered in the gop because when they call her to ask for money or to survey her she "gives them a piece of my mind Dear!"
