Republicans for Kerry

Prominent Republicans for Kerry by kos Thu Oct 21st, 2004 at 17:16:37 GMT

Lots of these in the last few days. Minnesota (former Republican governor)

Elmer L. Andersen: Why this Republican ex-governor will be voting for Kerry Throughout my tenure and beyond as the 30th governor of this state, I have
been steadfastly aligned -- and until recently, proudly so -- with the
Minnesota Republican Party.

It dismays me, therefore, to have to publicly disagree with the national
Republican agenda and the national Republican candidate but, this year, I
must.

The two "Say No to Bush" signs in my yard say it all.

Kentucky (former Republican senator)

'Frightened to death' of Bush I shall cast my vote for John Kerry come Nov 2.

I have been, and will continue to be, a Republican. But when we as a party
send the wrong person to the White House, then it is our responsibility to
send him home if our nation suffers as a result of his actions. I fall in
the category of good conservative thinkers, like George F. Will, for
instance, who wrote: "This administration cannot be trusted to govern if it
cannot be counted on to think and having thought, to have second thoughts."

I say, well done George Will, or, even better, from the mouth of the numero
uno of conservatives, William F. Buckley Jr.: "If I knew then what I know
now about what kind of situation we would be in, I would have opposed the
war."

I know there have been others, but I have a terrible memory. Drop a line in
the comments with the names, and I'll add them to this post.

Michigan (former Republican governor)

Former GOP Governor Endorses Kerry Former Republican Gov. William Milliken
of Michigan endorsed Democratic Sen. John Kerry for president on Monday,
saying President Bush has pursued policies "pandering to the extreme right
wing." Milliken, governor from 1969-82, accused the Bush administration of
rushing into the Iraq war, pushing tax cuts that benefit the rich and
blocking meaningful stem-cell research. "I felt so strongly about the
direction of this country that in the end, it wasn't a difficult decision to
make,'' Milliken said in an interview Monday with Traverse City Record-Eagle
reporters and editors. Update: Here's a full list of prominent Republicans who have endorsed Kerry,
or will not vote for Bush. Courtesy of the rockin' dKosopedia.
