Come on, man, even I think it'd be a good idea...
if I recall correctly, he was a Republican that became disenchanted with the Party...
Well he doesn't seem that disenchanted with them as far as I've seen. I've tried both parties and became disenchanted with them (the GOP on how reactionary, militaristic, theocratic, and imperialistic they are [and I supported the Afghanistan invasion], and the Dems on their spinelessnes).
Nope. He has done a lot which I had expected him to (and when you compare him to what Gore/Kerry were planning, it's a no brainer). Congress has done far worse for America, and unfortunately Bush carries the cross for them since he's the one in office.
