Republicans For Barack Obama

First you have Rush Limbaugh basically hinting that he's so upset with John McCain's liberal leanings that he's going to be inclined to vote for the Democratic nominee so that the presumably horrible things that will happen to the country under liberal rule will happen "on the Democrat's watch".

Now you apparently have Susan Eisenhower, granddaughter of President Eisenhower, a self-described life-long Republican, campaigning for Barack Obama straight away.

Wow ... would you have thought it would come to this?

One does wonder how to interpret all this.

Of course there was a flip of ideology between the Democrats and Republicans once before. Just remember that during and immediately after the Civil War the Democrats were in favor of slavery and the Republicans were in favor of freedom.

Of course there doesn't seem to be a swap going on this time. Both parties are leaning more liberal in SPITE of these arch-conservatives making so much noise.

Could it finally be that people have just finally gotten sick and tired of the plain meanness and utter disregard for human life and dignity associated with such types as Bush and Cheney?

Perhaps.

And, if so, I think it's a good thing ...
