Why are so many Republicans backing Obama?

Powell is absolutely being opportunistic--if you notice-he gave 2,300 (the max) to McCain during the primary and nothing to Obama for the entire election and now two weeks before the election he suddenly has an epiphany? No he is looking out for his back oh well. As for real republicans..they aren't voting for Obama. A true conservative would never vote for Socialistic programs..they just wouldn't.

I'd like a response from a true conservative. What do you feel about the $25 billion "loan" to GM & Chrysler? If they go under, they won't have to repay the "loan". Also, the two public companies recently "realized" that they're gonna be out of cash in 1 year. Should the government let them go bankrupt or approve another large cash infusion? There's all this talk from the McCain camp accusing the Obama camp of socialism, but look at what the Republican administration is doing now.

I think the squishes in the GOP are absolutely opportunistic. They along with the squishy democrats love the attention. Look at the U.S. Senate. both Democrats and Republicans in the middle love all the attention they get on all of the big votes. They love the phone calls from the President, world leaders, big consituents etc.

Powell, Weld, Chaffee, Leach they combined could make a wonderful bowl of jello.
