My brother the republican...
Just told me he is sick and tired of the social conservatives ruining the party...

He told someone from Rudy's campaign, today, that he couldn't support anyone who recieved an endosrsement from Pat Robertson...

He also told me that the he would be comfortable with most of the democrats running...

7.  A republican co-worker told me she likes Edwards, not any of the repubs
She really likes the fact that the Edwards family is so strong and together. They are truly living "family values."

13. Sounds like my husband
we were married in 1949, he a republican and me a democrat, we didn't try to change each other, then one day, he was sitting on the couch, he got up and said, I think I am in the wrong party, from that day on he has been a hot democrat...Guess when it happened , the last of Big George's administration, he was already retired, but when Bush refused to let the out of work Americans sign up for unemployment insurance there at the last, when many was out of work, made him a democrat.
