You're probably right, there are. On a personal level I don't know any anymore. Either that or they're just no longer admitting they are Republicans? I don't know.

Everyone I know now, are spewing one form of crazy or another. It's become more than a tad surreal. It wasn't like this as recently as 2004 where I am. There used to still be rational, decent folk who simply didn't agree with certain planks of the Dem platform.

Maybe they've all gone into hiding? Is there some sort of Republican equivalent to the witness protection program going on we've not heard of, maybe?
