Abortion rights people
Labor Unions (lost jobs)
Gays
Seniors because of his drug discount deal
Teachers (they're terrorists, remember)
College students (draft, higher college costs)
Unemployed

2. Don't forget the military and intelligence types....
come to think of it I can't think of a single group those shmucks haven't alienated aside from the thorazine fundy crowd that doesn't even have a clue about what Christianity is about.

9. My guess is it's a Dem site.
It'd be nice if a real place, but seems as much anti-Republican, as anti Bush.

10. Do not be so sure EDT, I am a former Repub and there are others
here at DU, stick around a little longer and you will see some interesting pseudonyms. Here is some interesting reading from the St. Pete Times during the Bill McBride/Jeb Bush campaign for Gov.

McBride appeals to moderate Republicans
By ADAM C. SMITH, Times Political Editor
© St. Petersburg Times
published April 14, 2002

CLEARWATER -- For all the noise Democrats are making this weekend at their state convention in Orlando, Gov. Jeb Bush should be a lot more worried about the folks who attended a quiet reception at Ruth Eckerd Hall last week.
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Bill McBride of Tampa drew more than 200 people eager to write checks and hear him talk of "our collective responsibility" to invest more in schools and put aside partisanship. More striking than the size of the affluent crowd, though, were the number of Republicans there embracing a Democrat.
"There's a real lack of leadership in Tallahassee, and it's pitting party member against party member," said Fred Fisher, a Tarpon Springs businessman and philanthropist who was a Republican in Florida long before the GOP took control of the capital. "This man (McBride) has a long-term vision for the future of Florida."
Fisher, who donated $6.5-million to the University of Florida and has an accounting school there named after him, fretted about how the state is lagging behind the rest of the nation in countless areas, particularly education. He even urged fellow Republicans to temporarily switch parties to help McBride in his primary against former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno so he can take on Bush in November.<Snip
