how many people actually are members at the site.

Just reading a few of the comments on the Zimmerman shooting and it actually sounds like DU comments over there.

Is it possible that not all Republicans are ass wipes?

but it sounds like it's for moderate Republicans who think Obama is the better choice. But if they're registered Republicans, they can't vote for the Democrat incumbent-- or can they?

Only in closed-primary states are you limited by your party affiliation, and then only in the primaries.

just asking.

I thought "reasonable Republicans" was an oxymoron

Maybe not. This, coupled with Jeb Bush's comments about the right going way to extremes I find almost encouraging.

Jeb still said he would prefer to see "$10 in spending cuts for every dollar in tax increases." But he's okay I guess, compared to most of those GOPhers who were running for prez this year.

would abandon the party, particularly where moderate Republicans won in the past.

Why not Obama Republicans.

I wonder why there are not more.

They love him.

It picks away at some of my cynicism.

There are a few "Republican" types I've spoken to who do believe their party has abandoned its core beliefs and has become too extreme. But maybe that's why we don't hear much from them because they are afraid of speaking out in a country of people that still demonize the word "liberal"

Perhaps there are more of these types than we think. Or maybe not. Perhaps the Republican asshats we all know and hate are just the ones who yell the loudest so they are always heard.

Meh. Who knows

but this could be a Dem-run astroturf group. It has a similar feel to the Hill is 44 astro-turf group started by republicans. Maybe Im wrong... I hope I am.

During that election they offered solid support for the now-President. I haven't seen anything from them since to give any cause for doubt that they're genuine.

I know a few republicans distressed over the extremist agenda of the party. I dont know that theyll vote Obama though... theyll probably sit out this election.

They do exist.

Who knew. There may be hope after all.

He's a better Republican than any of them.

He also voted for Kerry and will vote for Obama in Nov. In fact, he plans on donating to Obama's campaign. Obama and the Dem party of recent years represent his core values whereas he feels completely alienated from what the republicans are offering up.
My husband was a staunch Republican for forty plus years. Never voted for a Dem in his long voting history, until GW Bush's run for a second term. So, he's a Republican in name only these days. I couldn't be prouder of him!

They weren't sure about Obama, but after a year or so they now love him. They still call themselves repubs, too.

Good to hear

my husband can't bring himself to formally change his party affiliation. I guess for him it's kind of like an wearing an old, frayed, flannel shirt....worn, tattered and out of date but still offers some measure of comfort.

Honestly, if I were republican (no way in hell), I'd vote for Obama. I mean, of the two men, who is better suited??

Good for hubby

voted for Harper, ugh.

State legislatures that have passed so many laws restricting the right to choose, voting and letting corporations run rough shod over the public interest, and pushing privatization of everything, like schools?

I did see them make negative comments about Romney saying we didn't public workers, police, firemen, etc.

it sort of made me wonder if it was actually helpful for Obama's re-election efforts for him to try as hard as he did to compromise with Boehner and friends. I understand that he disappointed a number of people from his base by constantly bending over backwards (myself included) and not being liberal enough in some of his policies, but it looks like he's at least coming across to moderate Republicans as trying to build bridges between both sides and making an honest effort to look out for everybody.

How many times hasn't it been said that these are the votes that the administration are working to win? And if you ignore rhetoric and go with actions, the Obama policies are reminiscent of Reagan policies...which again tell you whose vote the administration is striving for. They figure they have the Liberal vote locked up (you have to vote for me or the SCOTUS will be even more screwed!) so they have governed to please the "sensible" republicans.

We should call them Obamacans. Maybe too much like Yes we can?

Makes up for that Democrats for Reagan nonsense.

And it shows there are some Republicans who put the country over win at all costs.

Looking over their website, I am amazed over what I see: LOGICAL, RATIONAL THINKING!!!
And putting country first.
