Bush has lost my 91 year old Grandfather
Edited on Sun Jul-13-03 11:53 PM by JCMach1
Yep, he has always been registered as a Democrat, but has voted for Republicans since Nixon. In the aftermath of the Iraq war, he is now convinced that Bush is the worst President he has EVER seen... Folks, that includes Hoover and Harding...

He loved Reagan, and he even 'liked' Bush I... He also liked * for awhile... But, no more--

Shrub is done for-- bring out the hook.

5. Tell your Grandpa that he's real
cool for 91 years old. To have an open mind after 91 years is pretty awesome!!!

10. There are too many 'Reagan Democrats'
for lack of a better term...

I doubt his political views have changed, but he has completely given up on shrub. There is NO WAY he would ever vote for him in '04

12. Putnam I live about 2 miles from him
He doesn't get out much... His change in attitude has come on his own. While he has often heard us 'librls discussing the Shrubster, he usually tunes us out and switches to FOX news. He has come to his conclusions though his own thought process...

Frankly, it amazed me...

He stood by Nixon during watergate... if you can believe that.

16. It is a SWING area now... If it had swung Gore during the last election
(Gore lost by nearly the exact margin of the Bush so-called victory) even a recount would not have saved *

If a Dem wins in FL, he HAS to take the Swing counties.

7. He doesn't surrender his positions lightly either
He has enjoyed his contrarian position for years (most of my family on that side are liberal Dems....

And the more you see Bush the more obvious it becomes. Good for him!
