Lapsed Republicans? What a Concept

It's very hard to believe in today's world that there can be responsible conservative Republicans. But today, at TPMCafe, you will find the following post from Kevin Phillips:

"I believe that Democrats and liberals in 2006 stand to have their greatest opportunity since 1992 (which was lost). You will have the substantial support of many lapsed Republicans and doubters of Bush conservatism like myself. But I also have the sense that many Democrats and liberals have an instinct for for the capillaries, not for the jugular. If that leads to failure in 2006, there will be a major price to pay, not just for the United States but in terms of the credibility of your party and movement."
Mr. Phillips has been over at The TPM Cafe discussing his new book: "American Theocracy: The Peril and Politics of Radical Religion, Oil, and Borrowed Money in the 21st Century." In his book, he explores the dangerous political coalition of oil, radicalized religion, and debt that are running--and ruining--this country.

Sounds like a sensible person, no?

Especially sensible is one of his: American Dynasty : Aristocracy, Fortune, and the Politics of Deceit in the House of Bush

Something tells me he's not a fan of the Chimp or his ancestors.
