Seems Conservatives are just now willing to be honest about *.

[xultar]

I can't say I applaud their efforts but man it took all this to get conservatives to finally come out and start talking honestly about *.

* has literally killed our troops on a lie, attacked a country for no fuckin reason, wrecked the economy, built the biggest deficit along with the largest government, wiretapping of reporters and regular joe international calls, tacked americans communications and ruined our reputation around the world.

IT TOOK ALL THAT TO finally get the conservatives to start an honest dialog within their own ranks about how * sucks wind.

At least they are finally talking...based on the article yesterday about a leading conservative starting a movement against the republicans.

WOW. I just think of what we all lost in the period of time it took conservatives to wake up and I'm saddened.

What else have we lost waiting for the conservatives to wake up and be honest about the neocons?

1. The loss is truly incalculable

and I found their failure to express any dissatifaction through the first term of complete blatant malfeasance and rampant corruption utterly mind numbing.

The pessimist in me fears "too little too late."

The optimist in me has a deep abiding sense that they can't get away with this crap for much longer and that the truth inevitably comes out in the end but not soon enough for me.

2. when they finally fess up to how he took office

which was more their own doing (as a party that sees itself above rules and the need for democratic legitimacy) than Bush's, then we'll bury the hatchet. It's nice to see Republicans admitting Bush is a disaster but I'm not about to forgive them and start trusting them to act like "fellow Americans". They're still the same people who stole elections for Bush in 2000 and 2004. They're embarrassed but fundamentally they haven't changed.

5. Truer words were never spoken . . .

"They're embarrassed but fundamentally they haven't changed."

3. They are traitors to the ideals of this nation.

Shame on all of them.

[Telly Savalas]

4. They are being rational and distancing themselves from an unpopular

figure. It doesn't mean that they'd do any better if they governed themselves.

6. I take that to mean that if Bush was popular...even with the mistakes

he'd be their champion still?

You're right if that is what you were saying. I believe too that they'd back Bush if he made the same mistakes with the BuschCo distraction/kool-aid hypnotic machine in working order. Which is SAD in fuckin deed. The right seems to make allowances for the distractions to work before they call any of their own on the carpet. If the distractions don't work they'll wait till people wake and tire of the bullshit...then they are like well we don't like it either.
