Not everyone could hold their nose tight enough to vote GOP this time Yes, and these are the short-sighted folks who made it impossible for Bolton to be confirmed as UN amb.
And will be responsible for lots of other stuff that will never pass a Dem congress.
Yes, they are the idiots who gave us Nancy Pelosi. But Bush and a big chunk of the GOP are the knuckleheads who failed to get the idiots to vote for them. I believe a unified GOP pursuing a relatively conservative agenda, ignoring the MSM and plowing ahead with vigor and purpose, would have won the election. Instead we got Bridges to Nowhere, the Gang of 14, touchy-feely war in Iraq, religion of peace crap,Taliban resurgence in Afghanistan, out of control spending, amnesty, and all the while being nice to the Dems as they lied, distorted and conspired. Why is Wm. Jefferson not in jail, for example, while Libby is still under prosecution?
Other than 2 justices, which we would have had anyway if the Gang of 14 had not stopped the Nuclear Option, Bush accomplished almost nothing in 2 years, and it is due to a combination of unfair attacks from his opponents inappropriately replied to, and idiotic sniping by disaffected GOP grandees insufficiently reined in. Whose fault is that? All of them, except for the Dems. We expect them to be unfair, liberal and wrong.
