  • Oh, puh-leeeze cling to Bush like a booger on a shirt collar!

    My birthday isn't in November, but it is in January. For my early birthday present, I would like all the Republicans up for re-election in Congress to hitch their wagons to the patron saint of incompetence, bungling and hubris, George Dubya. The electoral bloodletting would result as even lifelong Republicans reject their corrupt, festering party would be a thing o' beauty.

    Then for my on time birthday present, I would enjoy the sight of a passle of new Democrats being sworn in as they retake control of both houses.

    Not that the Dems are all that much better, but it's a step in the right direction.

  • Bush is "seen universally as the face of the Republican Party"

    How freaking scary is that? Kind of like Hitler is seen universally as the face of the Nazi party; or Mao is seen universally as the face of the Chinese Communist party.

    Keep in mind that Bush hasn't really started getting unpopular yet. There is still a ton of fallout waiting to float home from the moronic decisions of governance that have been made by these imposters.

    Bush is single-handedly going to rehabilitate Nixon, Harding, Grant - you name the disgraced politician - Bush is worse. When the American people realize that the final tab on Bush's War of Choice may top $2 TRILLION the name Bush will rank along with that of Quisling or Benedict Arnold.

  • sad but true.

    They'll crank up their vile gay bashing agenda and the Kool-Aid brigade will fall in right behind them. They've already started.

  • The "W" Republicans

    "...extremely close correlation between the president's image and the overall ratings of the party."

    I love it! Even as they try to run away from Bush, they are stuck with him.

  • What Goes Around Comes Around

    With one exception, virtually every Republican in Congress has rolled over while George Bush did everything he could think of to make them irrelevant. (Refusal to allow oversight, signing statements, and an unrivaled cloak of secrecy are the very hallmarks of the Bush administration.) That one exception, of course, isn't a person ... the one exception to Congress' irrelevance is that the Republicans have come up with more pork-laden legislation and and more legislation to benefit special interest groups than any Congress in recent memory and George Bush has yet to veto even one of those bills or budget amendments. How incumbent Republicans think that they can now distance themselves from this administration is beyond me. They are indeed "Brand W Republicans" and if there's any justice in this country then come November they're going to pay the price for doing a helluva lot more for the lobbyists than the people they were elected to represent.
