I know many people that were White Collar republicans, that have lost jobs because of outsourcing and corporate greed. They now wish they had voted for the Democratic ticket.

There are a few things that are a bit off in this question and some responses.
As has been pointed out, really, democrat or republican isn't what matters. It's where you stand on issues, which is why I prefer to use the terms conservative and liberal.
Secondly, Bush is no dictator - meaning he can't just do whatever he wants. Therefore, if you don't like what is going on in Iraq, Bush is not solely to blame.
In addition, someone used the number 28% - this is factual, but not accurate! Go to the link this person put as a source and you will see that he deliberately picked the lowest number on there, the CBS poll. In one poll, his approval ratings are 50%, with 47% disapproval! Most of these are actually in the upper 30's, percentage-wise.
Lastly, of course there will be some republicans who vote democrat - simply because of the setup of our voting, registration, plus the media's biases. I hope our country will choose what is right, and not be blinded by their hatred.

I am a Republican and although I don't completely support Bush, I am not going to switch and vote for a Democrat. I don't know who will end up being on the Republican ticket in 08, but so far I don't think the Democrats have a shot.

well that all depends on your opinion about the war in Iraq. if your for it then our Republicans are not going to sway. if in fact they are true republicans. because there are some Republicans that are kinda half and half. i know that's weird but its true. they have mixed emotions about Bush and the war in Iraq. and also you cant base your decision to vote Rep/Dem during the next election because Bush isn't even going to be running. you would have to here what the Republican parties have to say during the Presidential debates. what Bush has done or not done with the war in Iraq would be irrelevant. and if they do in fact sway over to vote Democrat, then that is their own God given right to do so. its called freedom of speech and freedom of choice.

I am a fiscal conservative....something Bush knows nothing about. I will be voting for a Libertarian if I don't consider the Republican candidate fiscally conservative. I do agree with him on the assessment that defeat is not an option. I have not agreed on his fiscal policies, even though the economy is hanging in there. My problem has more to do with the selling of US debt to foreign countries.

Unknown. You will get many people who will "say" they are republicans who will now vote democrat. I don't buy that. It's easy to "say" whatever gets your point across. Democrats will vote for democrats. Republicans will vote for republicans. The only people who can (and often DO) make a difference are independents, who vote for "right" rather than toeing a party line. Count me among that number.

I'm a Republican and I plan to stay that way. Democrats or as you call them Democrates, have also had bad presidents, but their voters stick by them. Why should this be any different?

swing voters will be mostly Democrats and Independents.
I think you will find very, very few Republicans who would ever vote for another party. Even if they didn't like the candidate running, they would vote for the platform or simply abstain from voting.

Depends on who the canidate is....you would be hard pressed to find a Republican willing to vote for Hillary no matter who she was running against..Obama on the other hand would be worth a second look..same for Dean..so hopefully the Left gets its act together and nominates a candidate that it would not be distasteful to vote for
