Yaaaayyyy! My Repub Brother-in-law will not vote for * again!
My sister married a guy in November who is great in every way except that he is a republican. I think his political persuasion is based on the fact that he is a small business owner and believes Repubs are more pro-business.

Anyhoo, he voted for Bush and now, according to my sister, he is disgusted by *'s lying and will not vote for him again. He wants Bob Graham to win the Democratic nomination so he can vote for him (we live in Florida).

I hate to admit it but I turned down a camping trip with them last fall because I knew he and I would "go at it" and I was having a hard time admitting there was a * supporter in the family.

I sooooo happy!!!

2. Note that BushCo* is pro-big buisness, not small or medium-sized buisness
IMHO, Bush has no problem with small buisnesses being gobbled up or bullied into bankruptcy by large robber baron competitors.

You might ask him to become active in the Democratic Party and push for policy that helps small and medium sized buisnesses compete against the big bullies (like Wal-Mart).

3. Democrats are the party of small business
I'm a member of my local Chamber of Commerce, and many small businesses are owned by Democrats

4. I don't think I'll ever get tired of these stories of former Smirk
supporters seeing the light.Each one he loses he'll never get back.Haven't decided on a candidate to back as of yet but I do like Graham calling for impeachment as strongly as he's been doing.Smirk's out the door in 2004.
