caveat emptor, red voters

Richard Vigurie was LiveOnline at WaPo after his oped:

Austin, Tex.: Bush has betrayed everyone...

Richard A. Viguerie: That's not entirely true. Interestingly of almost 200 emails I have received in response to my article in yesterday's Post, over 90%, including Republicans, Democrats, Conservatives and Liberals agreed with the thrust of the article. It is not entirely true that Bush has betrayed everyone, the 1% of his voter support that came from big business corporate America - he's been truthful to them. They have gotten the legislation, the appointments; I can't think of any issue that they have strongly supported where Bush has opposed them.

and

Fairfax, Va.: I have always voted Republican, including Bush's first term. After president's unnecessary war, I vote no longer Republican. I doubt that the harm that Mr. bush has done to this country and the Republican Party can be repaired for decades.

What will the Republican Party offer the voters in Midterm election?

Richard A. Viguerie: Their primary strategy will probably revolve around scaring the voters as to what will happen if the Democrats get control of Congress. Your comment about the damage not being undone for decades probably underestimates the amount of the damage that Bush and the Republicans have done. It may be that America may never recover from the financial bankruptcy facing us.

and

Richard A. Viguerie: Conservatives have a majority of the voters with us on most issues. We have the organizations, the publications, financial resources but we lack leaders. For whatever reason, the liberals seem to have been blessed with many more effective leaders than conservatives have been.

and

Richard A. Viguerie: The vast majority of Bush's voters in 2004 share our disappointment, frustration and even anger at Bush's actions and Republican leaders. 89% of people who voted for Bush, in a recent online poll I conducted, are so angry with Bush they would consider voting for a 3rd party candidate.

bwahahaha
