A note from someone who voted Bush in 2000
Penned by a Reaganite friend of mine. Maybe there is hope:
It's a zoo right now. I watched the GOP debate last night and was only mildly impressed. I'll probably go with McCain just because he's an iron-balled old crank who doesn't care what anyone thinks of him. Or Giuliani, I dunno. My kid likes Obama, and I can see why. He's not the same old crapola. And while he's no Bradley in the paint, SI guy had a column about playing hoops with O and says he's got a nice shot. As for Bush, I ditched on him even before the last election and voted Libertarian. I'm not sure he's as big an idiot as everyone thinks, but he plays one on TV and I grew tired of his act. I'm as patriotic as the next guy, but I gag when you keep ramming the flag down my throat and tell me you're pissing on the Constitution to save me from the bad guys. Tell China we'll try to get it right this time, but they still better watch their ass. I pick up my guitar and pray ... we don't get fooled again.
I recently added the Obama App on Facebook, so I guess, in 2008, that makes my choice official.
