Thread title = hyperbole. But, In fact we've see the "bush effect" on this and "other" boards:
many posters leaving the republican party in disgust; former republican posters becoming democrats/independents; or devout repubican Bush-fans simply creating new trolls on logging back suddenly claiming to be conservative-leaning "independents" who never backed Bush and his agenda - -aka, plausible deniablity from having played a role in promoting the failed Bush agenda and Bush war:
Fewer and Fewer people self-identify as republicans
Rasmussen
"The number of Americans calling themselves Republican has fallen to its lowest level in more than two-and-a-half years. Just 31.9% of American adults now say they're affiliated with the GOP. That's down from 37.2% in October 2004 and 34.5% at the beginning of 2006. These results come from Rasmussen Reports tracking surveys of 15,000 voters per month and have a margin of sampling error smaller than a percentage point.
The number of Democrats has grown slightly, from 36.1% at the beginning of the year to 37.3% now."
