14. Have any fellow Republicans tried to talk you out of it?

I am glad you have chosen to vote for Kerry. The centrist moderate non-fundamentalist wing of the Republicans NEEDS to take their party back. Maybe we can go back to some sanity.

6. In case you want an endorsement to show them

try the economist endorsement. It isn't exactly glowing, but it's still a good thing, and i think it's more directed toward people who don't like bush that much, but are unsure of Kerry and don't want to vote for him because of that.

On edit: There's well over 100 of these on the internet, so you could always look up a different one, or a bunch of them and show them to the folks. Good luck!

7. Article from the NY Times.

Bruce Bartlett an adviser to Ronald Reagan says there will be a civil war in the Republican Party if Bush wins.

Also, John Eisenhower, son of Ike, is supporting Kerry. His letter was in the Union Leader earlier this month.

Here you go:http://www.theunionleader.com/articles_showa.html?article=44657
"As son of a Republican President, Dwight D. Eisenhower, it is automatically expected by many that I am a Republican. For 50 years, through the election of 2000, I was. With the current administration’s decision to invade Iraq unilaterally, however, I changed my voter registration to independent, and barring some utterly unforeseen development, I intend to vote for the Democratic Presidential candidate, Sen. John Kerry.

The fact is that today’s “Republican” Party is one with which I am totally unfamiliar. To me, the word “Republican” has always been synonymous with the word “responsibility,” which has meant limiting our governmental obligations to those we can afford in human and financial terms. Today’s whopping budget deficit of some $440 billion does not meet that criterion."

Even Republicans Fear Bush

CBS News Online

The most divisive election campaign in recent American history has not merely split the nation along party lines, it has split the Grand Old Party itself. Unfortunately, most Americans are wholly unaware of the loud dissents against Bush that has begun to be heard in Republican circles.

Former Republican members of the U.S. Senate and House, governors, ambassadors, aides to GOP Presidents Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan and George Herbert Walker Bush have explicitly endorsed the campaign of Democrat John Kerry. For many of these lifelong Republicans, their vote for Kerry will be a first Democratic vote. But, in most cases, it will not be a hesitant one.

Angered by the Bush administration's mismanagement of the war in Iraq, record deficits, assaults on the environment and secrecy, the renegade partisans tend to echo the words of former Minnesota Governor Elmer Andersen, who says that, "Although I am a longtime Republican, it is time to make a statement, and it is this: Vote for Kerry-Edwards, I implore you, on November 2."
