2. Pat Buchanan
I like the guy. And in some areas our views are similar. I'm bettin' he'd be fun to drink with, too.

6. I like Buchanan too.
Very old-school and very paleocon. Which though can be very bad, can also be very good.

4. George W. Bush.
If I can only change 1 conservative, it'd be Bush. Would I love the guy? No. But I think I'd not hate him as much.

If it was say 7 conservatives or say 100 conservatives, then I'd say the Senate or the House.

But only 1, it's GWB

5. Bush
so he wouldn't have ended up doing all this damage. However it's too late for him now.

So maybe this friend I have. That way I don't have to hear him spout dumb shit all the time.

12. My hat is off to all of you. You're so altruistic!
Here I was selfishly thinking of my dad, just to make my own life easier.

I've got a long way to go as a human being.

45. hell yes!
There are so many idiots that take his blather for the truth and he has been doing it for so long. To see him and Dr. Dean exchanging handshakes as Rush changes his voter registration would be one the of the greatest things that could happen.

15. Assuming you could 'turn' them right now ...
... KARL ROVE!!! Given his propensity for shooting his mouth off and undermining people he doesn't like -- imagine him turning on the entire Admin right now and going to the public + press with every last salacious detail of what's gone on in the last five years!!!!!

16. Wally O'Dell - CEO of Diebold
If he went liberal, Republicans would suddenly become champions for verifiable voting and tabulation.

19. My brother...
I no longer speak to him because he's evil. He supports Bush and he would torture "those sand *******" himself if he had the balls to join the army.

He's an evil SOB, and a total right wing pigdog who makes Dick Cheney look gentle and loving.

I miss the brother I used to have. I would love it if he turned liberal, but he will go to the grave as a bigoted evil bastard.

22. Pat Robertson, hands down.
He has so much influence on the easily led idiots who believe the Earth is 6000 years old, it would be a major boon to the country.

Someone with such small brain-power would be of limited use to us aside from forking-over money from his slave-operated diamond mines.

33. It would be his voice against the sea of others equal in stature.
He'd be shouted-down by the likes of Falwell, Popoff, Hauge, Buchanan, Dobson, etc.

And some of them are smarter and richer than he is.

If anything would help this country, it would be a successful f/u to
phase 1 on an investigation of the run up to Iraq War, why do 200 MPs
stand up and demand an investigation on how Britain went to war,
and when we ask for an investigation, people ridicule us, you, liberals.

29. BushCo is largely doing that job for us.
Well done, ladies and gentlemen. We couldn't have done it so thoroughly ourselves. Particular thanks goes to the Commander In Chief for the effective demonstration of why an intelligent Democrat could better lead the country.

Thank you, Mr. President for that service to the nation.

34. Well, that would be a reciprocal power,....
,...me being empowered to reach out and the "conservative" (corporacrat/neocon) being empowered to change.

Hopefully, we can be human and pursue human interests, together. But, it's a choice with which we are all empowered.

46. I second that, but not the Daily Show sentiment. I thought he was
kind of abrasive and didn't seem to have much of a sense of humor. Or maybe it was so dry *I* didn't get it.

But his war experience and outspokenness could really benefit us libs. IF he were one of us.
