http://www.dkosopedia.com/index.php/Republicans_for_Kerry_2004
From dKosopedia, the free political encyclopedia.
As a result of historically large budget deficits, unprecedented incursions into civil liberties, and an increasing disregard for the traditional separation between Church and State, many Republicans have publicly broken with President George W. Bush and the Republican Party. Many of these Republicans have endorsed Senator John Kerry instead. What follows is a list of Republicans who have endorsed John Kerry, as well as those Republicans who have publicly stated their reluctance to cast a vote for George W. Bush. This list does not include traditionally Republican newspaper editors who have endorsed John Kerry.
