They are more concerned with domestic issues such as health care and the economy.


Consider Linda Zimmerman, a 50-year-old sheep farmer from Thurmont, Md. Her daughter and son-in-law are having trouble keeping up with two mortgages on a town house, she said. One street in her neighborhood has five homes for sale, and one has been on the market for two years.
Registered as a Republican, she's ready to reconsider.

"We're Republicans and I'm very unhappy with them, and I've been watching the Democrats," she said. "We did better when (Bill) Clinton was in than we did with Bush. It's just terrible."

Bill Hine, a 65-year-old Vietnam veteran from Warrenton, Va., considers himself a "soft Republican" who is partial to John McCain. But the nation's health system needs fixing, he said, and he's not happy with what he's hearing.

"A lot of Republicans are just anti-anything, anti-changing anything, and that's one of the things I'll be looking at," he said.

In Wisconsin we don't have to register as Dem or Republican.

I like that.

1. "We did better when (Bill) Clinton was in than we did with Bush. It's just terrible."

That 3 dollar a gallon gas is getting to me too.

3. Heck, who could blame them n/t

[ingac70]

4. I'd really like the fuckers to quit looking....

7. There's nothing saying it won't work the other way...

Some of our most progressive voices here were once Republicans.

9. You really want to turn down votes?

A lot of them are RINO's

[ingac70]

10. RINO's....

Corporate whores sans the bible thumping. No, I really don't want them influencing the Democratic Party.

We've got our own corporate whores to contend with.

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. And I will gladly take their votes

[avenger64]

6. There's a couple of candidates they should find quite attractive..

... but I won't name names.

[dtotire]

8. Biden or Richardson will attract some Republicans n/t

[Perry Logan]

11. To Hell with that. I don't want these degenerates sullying our party with their votes.

These are the people who voted twice for The Worst President Ever™.

14. Repugs along with moderate Dems gave CT Lieberman

Things are not going to get better next year with their influence in the GE. I'd almost say the Repugs are offering weak candidates on purpose, knowing they can still shift everything tolerably to the right by helping to elect a corporate, hawkish Dem.

This is how they got us used to high gas prices...where anything below $3.00/gallon seems like a steal, even though only 5 years ago we were paying on average HALF of what we're paying now.
