I do not believe the GOP will go with Bush this time.

[madfloridian]

I said it once before, and very few agreed. If they go with a moderate, intelligent Republican.....we will have a harder time. I may be way off base, but he is becoming damaged goods.

1. Could be they'll use the "political terra lert" as an excuse

to dump his ass?

:shrug:

[NightOwwl]

4. How about

psychotic breakdown?

[w13rd0]

5. Dubya is just a figurehead...

...there are other ways the could clear the ticket for another puppet to play home to Cheney's hand, ways that would garner them sympathy and an excuse to declare MARTIAN LAW!

[GainesT1958]

11. What kind of law...

Do they have over on Mars? If it's anything like Ashcroft's law, God help 'em!:eyes:

B-)

[Old and In the Way]

13. If they declare Martian law, I'm moving to Venus.

[CrispyQ]

2. Has that ever happened?

The incumbent's party chose someone else?

[shoelace414]

3. at this point it's as likley as Democrats not choosing Kerry

[Walt Starr]

8. 1968

LBJ did not run for re-election.

And the convention has not occurred yet. It's still possible, although highly improbable.

[DieboldMustDie]

19. LBJ's announcement that he was stepping down...

came much earlier in the year -- March 31 to be precise.

[southernleftylady]

6. ya know... i sorta agree with you... he is causing to much rift and big

companies want a low key type of guy... i TRUELY believe that some big wigs will be going for kerry this time around

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

7. Oh they'll use him

they'll use him. They're MORE afraid of looking stupid by changing out than they are of losing. They're willing to gamble that people are stupid enough to still vote for him.

Either way, he's toast. Isn't that nice to hear?

[GainesT1958]

9. Unless all hell breaks loose...

Dub's going to be re-nominated and, unfortunately, Mr. "Go F*** yourself" will be, too. Those delusional Repubs are still under the illusions that 1) Dub actually won last time, and 2) He's a strong, "bold" leader and a "popular wartime preznit". And they looove Cheney (well, all but Al D'Amato, that is!:eyes: ). Anybody who can get away with the crimes he's committed AND still take in $260 grand a year in pension from Halliburton has to be all right in their perverse little books.

I just wish they would represent who they REALLY are in prime time and give Tom Delay, oh, about an hour at the podium--that would do it, all right!:eyes:

B-)

[MichiganVote]

10. "They" don't have a moderate repub. and "they" don't want one

The Repub's have become completely assimilated. Resistance is futile.
Either join the moderate Dem's or get another party.

[Disturbed]

14. Republican Party Died.

Now it is the Rethuglican Party of Neo Fascists & Christian Fundies.

[MichiganVote]

20. Yup

[BattyDem]

12. I think it's too late for them.

The GOP let Bush do anything and everything he wanted to do - no questions asked. They constantly praised and defended him, no matter how bad things got.

So ... all of a sudden, three months before the election, they're going to decide that Bush is a disaster? I'm not saying they won't do it, I'm just saying it won't matter because they will lose what little credibility they have left! After all, Bush didn't screw things up overnight, so where the hell were these people for the last 3 1/2 years? All along, they said Bush was a great pResident, now they're going to say that Bush is not their man? If it was a year before the election, maybe they could pull it off, but now it's too little, too late.

[Old and In the Way]

17. I agree with your assessment.

And maybe, they really don't care. "Mission accomplished"

* Close to $1TT moved from the Fed. Government into the hands of the of the richest 2%.
* Secured the oilfields for Big Oil.
* Took away options to wean us off Big Oil, by wiping out the surplus.
* Let the Democrats raise taxes to fix the problems and they can complain that we're tax and spenders.

The joke is on us, I'm afraid.

[Dookus]

15. nah

He'll be the nominee.

Believe it or not, republicans LIKE him.

[formernaderite]

16. mad floridian...you've gone mad ;0

only kidding...nah the repubbies have gone mad...that's why they'll keep *

[madfloridian]

21. Agree on the mad part. LOL

Yeh, I know most think they will keep him. I just have a feeling in my bones about it. I have those sometimes, but I seldom say anything.

Correct about the Republicans, they have lost their souls.

[Bush was AWOL]

18. They lose if they go with a moderate, and big time

The bible belt and single issue voters won't show up if they nominated someone like Guiliani. It will be Bush.

[Zomby Woof]
