Attack the messenger. Ignore the message.
Does this tactic sound familiar? It is right out of the DNC play book.
Republican loyalist need to listen. There's trouble in the conservative base. Trouble that Bush created. Trouble that only Bush can fix.
It's Bush's race to lose and if he doesn't make some mid course corrections soon he just may well.
To tell you the truth... from where I sit... I haven't seen anything about a Republican Senate or House that gets my adrenaline flowing.
The only good one of the lot is Delay and he's been effectively neutered.
These spineless weasels have left W twisting in the wind more than once. They cave in the face of any resistence. They are unprincipled, ineffective and have demonstrated no ability to lead. They roll over on spending, judicial appointments and each other. They deserve only our contempt.
We need another Contract with America.
Some, but not all of Bush's problems stem from a lack of partisan support in the Congress. These problems were magnified when Bush shifted from President to candidate some months ago.
Because of the need to craft moderate solutions to many of our most pressing problems, moderate solutions that the weakened resolve in his own party would support, Bush is alienating the conservative base and insulting common sense.
I some time imagine the things that could be accomplished if reelection were not a concern in times of war. That our representatives had the courage of their convictions and that if they acted on those convictions they would be returned to office again and again.
This guy is a loon. God help us.
Think these price hikes are due to rising crude prices? take a look at this.

One of the implied promises that we all bought into when we supported the war in Iraq was the cheap oil that a successful campaign would bring.
Don't forget, the Republicans can do to the Dems exactly what the Dems have done to the Republicans, as far as judicial nominations.
Typical ingrate attitude on the
[art of Republicans. I worked the
polls in Eastern PA for Bush 41 and Bob Dole...and I was probably
the only worker with a Presidential pin or handing out literature for the top of the ticket. And this was a solid GOP area.
The local work for W was better but not by much. The party regulars believed the call for Gore about Florida and shut down
the campaign HQ before 10 pm. The vote went for Gore in the district.
This time around Ed Gillespie is
trying to bypass lackluster so-called Republicans by fielding
an e-mail driven group of volunteers---who were already on duty during the primaries.
I swear to God the GOP is getting soft and bowing down to the Amerikan Left. If we are to win the November war, we must believe that we can be the juggernaut that I believe we are and steamroll the DNC. Patton said it best, "never dig in, always take the offensive" A new attitude needs to be instilled in the Elephantheads. We need backbone and not lie down to these SOB's. I have started a Young Republicans chapter in my county and I am getting out there and declaring war on the left.
I agree. He's doing right now, by being intimidated by liberal media spin, what he's hoping Republicans in Congress don't do next year.
There is little chance of Bush losing since liberals do not win national elections. Bill Clinton had to portray himself as a conservative just to get 43 and 49% of the vote.
