"Woe To The GOP?"
To quote the story: "...woe to any Republican contender who criticizes Bush personally. "People in our party admire his consistency, his leadership and his personal dimensions," said McInturff.
"Consistency", Mr. McInturff, can also be seen as "obstinacy" and "pig-headedness."
Interestingly, these Republicans seem poised to march, lemming-like, in locked goose-step right over the precipice. Party loyalty seems to trump common-sense and the mood of the electorate.
This sets up a wonderful case of schadenfreude for me as the Republican candidates peel away from Dubya the closer we get to the primaries and general election. I will certainly enjoy their discomfiture as they squirm and weasel away from Mr. Bush's disasterous policies...leaving themselves open to charges of flip-floppery.
Schadenfreude, indeed!
