How sweet it is "Republicans Against Bush"
Welcome to my humble web site! In early December of 2002, I wrote an open letter to fellow Republicans giving my reasons why Republicans should speak out against President Bush. Since then, I have received a number of responses from fellow Republicans and others. I have updated this page several times - on separate pages you can find my original letter, my February 2003 piece, a grim bit of near-future fiction written in mid March 2003 called The Patriotic News for December 12, 2012, and a piece that appeared on the site on April 4, 2003.
Cracks in the Wall - 2003-06-02

For months, indeed years, the Bush administration has been protected from effective criticism by a wall of "national security". After all, the nation was "at war". Our risk level was high. Everyone must rally behind the president!

I have written several times on this site about how I believe that the Republican Party faces impending disaster by our connection with the policies of this administration. Unfortunately, the "wall of silence" has been very effective, especially within the Republican Party.

4. Perhaps for the same reason
the anti drug war, anti death penalty democrats remain in the democratic party instead of bolting to the Green party.

3. Isn't that like Christians Against Jesus?
I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this.

I'm delighted though :)
