A Democrat's (Sincere) Thank You To President Bush

Over the summer, I posted quite a bit about the Palin/Letterman feud, and my letter writing campaign to the late night misogynist's advertisers. During that time period, I received inspiration and advice from the Hillbuzz website. It's a fascinating site. These are true Hillary and Bill supporters, but they're extremely disillusioned with Obama and his henchmen, and by extension, the Democratic Party.

When Sarah Palin was nominated for Vice President, they recognized the same sexist tactics being used against McCain/Palin that were used against Hillary in the primaries. They found themselves actively supporting the McCain campaign against Obama. In the process, they've discovered common ground with Republicans, perhaps moreso than with Democrats.

While these men classify themselves as moderates, they are definitely social liberals. It's enlightening reading their pieces urging Republicans to become less complacent and more cut-throat, like the Democrats.

I found myself getting a little choked up this morning reading the post I'm sure they never envisioned themselves writing even a few years ago, Thank You for President George W. Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush. It's definitely worth the read.
