You know what I can't wrap my head around?

[cali]

george bush's complete willingness to blow the repuke party out of the water, potentially turning it into a nothing but a regional force, just so he can stay in Iraq.

I mean, how whacked is that?

[aquart]

1. They should have noticed that when he withheld the Rumsfeld resignation.

Funny though. He's willing to let the Republican Party die and so am I.

[LakeSamish706]

2. Well if your planning to not leave office what difference does it make? n/t

[DaveJ]

3. I hope you're right

We desperately need a permanent end to this insanity by getting rid of that war mongering party forever.

4. works for me--but then, I want them destroyed

after what they've done to my country.

I have to laugh when I think of all the loyal Bushies who are about to discover their hero cares only for himself and everyone else can go perform a 360 degree Cheney on themselves. After all theri bleating about what character, fortitude, Christianity and compassion Shrub inherently has in his golden crown.

7. no shit.

Their stupidity is breath taking. He's fucking them 6 ways to Sunday, and most of them still don't get it.

[hootinholler]

19. Destroyed isn't good enough!

I want them incarcerated.

-Hoot

[whistle]

5. Insanity, bat shit crazy

[LeftCoast]

6. Honestly, I think all the repukes in charge know Iraq is lost

They're just trying to run out the clock so that they can pin the loss on the Democrats when we win the Presidency. This is playing in with Congressional Democrats plans to also keep us in Iraq until '08 because they see that as a (short-term) winning position for the next election.

My 2 cents anyway.

[cali]

8. Yeah, but they're running the very real risk

of having a 56+ dem majority Senate. A high ranking repuke advisor recently said that the only safe repuke seats in the Senate, are those that aren't up in 2008.

[LeftCoast]

20. Yep. Looks like both sides are playing High Stakes Poker in '08

:hi:

9. the true believers will never leave

the most loyal core of the republican party would not leave it if GB was stomping kittens on the front lawn of the white house. The conservatives of America have no long term memory for the wrongdoings of the people they support but they never forget the smallest transgressions of their rivals. I am sure by the time that Iraq becomes such a failure that no one can deny it they will find a way to blame it all on the dems. in spite of the fact that they are doing little to take control and salvage this situation.

[Perry Logan]

10. In any case--thank you, George!

[dbt]

11. It ain't that hard.

After bu$hler used up the Democrats (or after they rolled over for him), the next logical target was the Republics.

:rofl:

[CJCRANE]

12. Plundering Iraq

was the main aim of the PNAC crew that put B*sh into power. Mission accomplished.

[movonne]

13. They are corporatist not repugs or Americans first...corporations are

running this country and they don't care who stays in power as long as it is good for them...we do not want to elect a corporatist president...but I have a feeling we will.

[Greyhound]

21. We won't be given a choice, as usual. Two parties, One power. n/t

[WinkyDink]

14. If he and Team Bush are making money, that's all that matters to him.

[rucky]

15. It's been scorched earth tactics from day one.

I recall him making some slip-up once to the effect that nobody will be alive to see the damage we've done to future generations.

[Flabbergasted]

16. The American political system will be obsolete before too long in my opinion.

We

[CJCRANE]

17. It was lucky to survive 9/11.

If United 93 had departed on time and knocked down the dome of the US Capitol building or hit the White House, that would have either been the end of Congress and/or Bush-Cheney ruling with emergency powers from a military bunker.

[H2O Man]

18. Respectfully disagree.

I read your post as saying the republican party chances in 2008 are being harmed, perhaps severely, by President Bush. That is not what I see happening today. The democrats should take the White House, but will still be in for a fight. More, the contests in the House and Senate are not to be taken for granted.
