Cut and Run

This is a home for former Republicans who are "cutting and running" from the current policies and leadership of the Republican Party. The Democratic Party is not an alternative. The purpose of this site is to provide an exanchage of views as to how disenchanted Republicans can make thier voice heard in advance of the 2008 convention.

Name:
Location: San Francisco, California, United States

I am a 77 year old retired trial lawyer, and an active mediator/arbitrator who is also a baseball nut. In 2001 I attended the San Francisco Giants Fantasy Camp in Scottsdale. Since then, after eleven subsequent camps and a kidney transplant I am still attempting to play baseball with the young folks. My trials and tribulations in returning to the game, together with comments upon sports, the passing political scene and developments in the law, will, on an irregular basis, appear on this site A word of warning, I am a recovering Republican-a-holic who has been driven from my party by George W Bush and the Tea Party (which is making George Bush look good). You are invited to agree, disagree or just chime in with any comments.

Matthew Yglesias (October 10, 2007) - Sandy Berger (Foreign Policy)

It looks like Hillary's incompetence["experience"] in handling her campaign's money and campaign advisors is now being applied to former Clinton administration officials. As David Brooks pointed out in his February 5th piece on Hillary's campaign to destroy a fellow democrat =-Jim Cooper--for disagreeing with her on health care, this is a vicious and vindictive politician. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/05/opinion/05brooks.html. Kinda reminds me of Bush-Cheney. If we elect Hillary we can expect at least 4 more years of the same--partianship and politics as unsual. There is a better way.

Matthew Yglesias (October 10, 2007) - Sandy Berger (Foreign Policy): "I have no idea whether or not this exhausts Berger's informal role as part of Team Clinton, but what you hear if you talk to people in left-of-center national security circles in Washington is that one of Berger's informal responsibilities is basically to get in touch with former Clinton administration foreign policy hands and warn them in no uncertain terms that if they back Barack Obama, Clinton will win anyway and those who supported her rivals will pay the price. My sense is that everyone, probably including Berger himself, understands that he can't actually be given a job in a Clinton administration one way or another."
