Not all is lost in the Republican party. |
Even Republicans Fear Bush
Oct. 31, 2004
This column from The Nation was written by John Nichols.
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.
If the United States had major media that covered politics, as opposed to
the political spin generated by the Bush White House and the official
campaigns of both the Republican president and his Democratic challenger,
one of the most fascinating, and significant, stories of the 2004 election
season would be the abandonment of the Bush reelection effort by senior
Republicans. But this is a story that, for the most part, has gone untold.
Scant attention was paid to the revelation that one Republican member of the
U.S. Senate, Rhode Island's Lincoln Chafee, will refrain from voting for his
party's president -- despite the fact that Chafee offered a far more
thoughtful critique of George W. Bush's presidency than "Zig-Zag" Zell
Miller, the frothing, Democrat-hating Democrat did when he condemned his
party's nominee. Beyond the minimal attention to Chafee, most media has
neglected the powerful, and often poignant, condemnations of Bush by
prominent Republicans.
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.

A pattern of deception
A hard truth appears to have escaped the notice of the public and received
scant attention from the media: Bush is the first president in American
history to use deceptive propaganda as his main means of communications in
selling his policies. His pattern of deception continues unabated and in
direct conflict with the notion of the public's informed consent that is
central to American democracy.

.... even Republicans in NH have endorsed Kerry, and did so by publishing
their endorsement in full page newspaper adds.
What's going on?
1. Republicans are for smaller government. Under Bush, the government
has grown.
2. Republicans are for balanced budgets. Under Bush, we have seen the
largest deficits in history.
3. Republicans are for a strong military, and do listen to military
advice. Bush ignored the military when going into Iraq, and went in with
too few troops - with entirely predictable results.

If there are any Republicans switching side to support Kerry and stop Bush from being re-elected
then they're just traitors, liars and got paid by some promises from the Democratic party dirty
tactics machine.

No, sorry, these are honest, hard working, God fearing, American
citizens, who feel Bush just doesn't represent them.

Newsmax quotes are like watching Fox, or in the Middle East, Al-Jazeera
TV, and are too biased for any sort of rational political
discussion...sorry.

This has been clear for some time, to those of us in the Democrat ranks who
can read the real signifance of the numerous endorsements of Kerry by
Republican papers, and by those of us who have Republican friends.
The same thing happened to our party at the end of Clinton's tenure, and for
exactly the same kinds of reasons.
This matter of misplaced loyalty is no fun, and it is no joke, and sooner or
later, we all have to deal with it. The consequences must necessarily be
grave, and it is up to the winners to demonstrate compassion for the
losers. That is the only way to damp this dynamic of hatred, which sooner
or later divides us all if we allow it in our midst.
