Democratic pollster Geoff Garin said GOP House candidates have reason to worry. His surveys find that 82 percent of Americans who say they voted for Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) in 2004 plan to vote for a Democrat for the House this year. But only 65 percent who voted for Bush say they will vote for a Republican House nominee, Garin said. The remaining 35 percent say they are open to voting for a Democrat or staying home.

Now they know how we've been feeling since Nov. 2000! I guess that 65% of bushies who will still vote repuke. in Nov. are *still* brain-dead.

I wonder if they'll still vote for republicans after bush drops nukes on Iran and the muslim world lights up like a christmas tree (ramadan tree)?; and americans will not be safe *anywhere* in the world for generations to come. (Read the Iran Plans from the New Yorker).

Maybe some good will come out of this for the Republicans. As every knows, political parties are comprised of a loose affiliation of groups who generally agree to support each other's agenda.
But the fiscal-minded Republicans and the libertarian Republicans have seen the party overtaken by the Jesusland Republicans. Bush and Jesusfolk have been spending like drunker sailors and pissing off the fiscals while they've also been spying on citizens and pissing off the libertarias. Not to mention the fact that these "good moral leaders" have been increasingly shown to be morally corrupt power mongerers.
I think we may see a power shift in the Republican party. The libertarian and fiscal Republicans may be much less willing to elect someone whose campaign is based on "faith based values". There well may be a clean-up of the party with the gay-haters tossed out on their holier-than-your asses.
And that would be very good for our community. As Barney Frank said the other day, "I can't wait for the day when a person asks me if a gay person should be a Republican or a Democrat and I can say it depends on your economic view".
