Is time running out for the GOP?
Poll numbers are falling, the party is giving up on districts, and the public has lost its tolerance for U.S. deaths in Iraq.
Tim Grieve [2006-10-13]

  • Losin' that lovin' feelin'

    Echoing some of the posts about Republican dissatisfaction with the GOP...my closest friend lives in Charleston, SC, a bastion of ignorant redneck Bush support. Except for that...his father-in-law, a dyed-in-the-wool, gun-toting, Bible-pounding, libertarianish, send-them-immigrants-back-where-they-came-from hillbilly Republican business owner, has gone completely to the Light Side of the Force. This frothing anti-Democrat has become a frothing anti-Bushite. To his immense credit, he has dropped the scales from his eyes and seen that, regardless of ideology, the GOP's ACTIONS have done terrible damage to his land. He told me recently in an e-mail that he plans to vote Democrat, after which I spent about 15 minutes cleaning up the puddle of pee I made on the floor beneath my desk chair.

    If this cat can turn his back on Bush and the Republican'ts, anybody can. There is hope.
