Even if somethings don't go as well as we would like, the GOP should still be fine. Potential candidates such as Mike Huckabee and George Allen could easily distance themselves from some aspects of the Administration and voters would buy it because they aren't part of the Administration (unlike Algore in 2000).
The real kicker is that though the dems might complain about how bad things are going, and though the voters might not be thrilled with things, the dems will not offer anything better.
Buchanan long ago squandered his credibility. Now he's just a moron schlub like the rest of us.
You're right. Pat's article is dead on.
Get this, if you haven't already heard. Buchanan was just on Imus in the Morning. However, that's not what I want to talk about. Also on Imus this a.m., they just said that bloggers have busted that guy who appeared on Tim Russert's Sunday show last weekend, Alan Broussard (I think it's Alan, the Broussard is right), who did the whole rap about the dead grandma at the nursing home who was never rescued and that it was all Bush & FEMA's fault, the "someone's coming for you Monday, Tuesday, Wed, Thurs, and then she allegedly died on Friday, it is all a lie. Grandma died on that first Monday before the levees broke, Grandma wasn't even at the nursing home Broussard named, and everything Broussard said was all lies. Hahahahahaha. Wait till this gets out. Wait till Rush gets hold of this, or Hannity, or Brit Hume. This is going to be a delight. And Tim Russert was totally snookered, as was all the MSM who hung on this jerk's every word as he wove his sad tale, his lying sad tale. Oh, this is going to be good.
Swing voters vote for "change"??
Thinking no doubt that DEMOCRATS would: produce lower Federal spending, more fuel supply hence lower gas prices, increase Border security and enforce illegal immigration laws, and do better in fighting the War on Terror (including Iraq because of the severe terrorism there)?? {'Cause that's the key; anyone, 'specially the DEMS, can turn tail and run out of Iraq, but there'd still be that nasty WOT to fight, and people know it.}
Have I got that right??
LOL
Maybe your list just needs a post of its own to increase visibility and discussion.
alot of time, people vote for "change" simply to switch from what they perceive as a current course that is not working - they don't analyze what they are switching to.
I borrowed it.
Please use it, add to it and edit it.
Then ping me or freepmail me the end result.
Great Column by Pat. Favorite line:
"While the Roberts appointment was a coup, the Scalia constitutionalists will still have, when he becomes Chief Justice, only three solid votes of nine. It is difficult to exaggerate the criticality of the nominee to replace Sandra Day O’Connor. It has to be a nominee who will rally the Republican-conservative base -- or Bush’s strongest supporters will start leaving the stadium. Those imploring Bush to name a “centrist” to the court, to avoid a bloody brawl, the “Can’t-we-all-just-get-along-crowd?” -- should have their pundit’s licenses pulled for malpractice."
He must be reading FRee Republic. We have a lot of McCain RINOs on this site.
Pat tells it like it is. Go Pat.
Pat has said some kooky things in the past. Although, the pick did not please me, it would be impossible not to know the inner thoughts of someone after working with them for 15 years. This seems like a free pass for congress & the president in terms of getting his person in. No complaints.
