Republicans gather to bash Bush

By Gary Gerhardt, Rocky Mountain News

A number of lifelong Republicans gathered at Kerry-Edwards headquarters in Denver on Monday to endorse Democrats this year.

Members of the group said they had soured for various reasons on President Bush's policies and would not support his re-election.

At the same rally, Mayor John Hickenlooper, a Democrat, formally endorsed John Kerry and John Edwards, saying he had studied promises, pledges and records of both parties and believed Kerry is the better choice for president.

"My decision wasn't based on partisanship," he said. It was based on the number of manufacturing jobs that have been lost, the number of households filing for bankruptcy, the rising cost of insurance and the loss of wages during the Bush tenure, Hickenlooper said.

2. Yes

better than polling data I must agree.

I long for the old days of civil discourse and partisan bickering about pork barrel spending of the two parties.

3. My family is the same

Several lifelong repubs in my family not only are going to vote for Kerry, but actually have bumperstickers, t-shirts, the whole to-do.

One said, "Bush is stealing our democracy!"

You could have knocked me over with a feather.

4. Halleluiah! The dead minds arise!

We were all wondering, weren't we, whether some of them might stop drinking the Koolaid and join the ranks of true Americans?

So maybe I don't despise all Republicans then. Perhaps there are a few worth saving.
