I wonder if Bush ever intends to fight the lies, or does he just think he can sit there and watch it all go to pot.
I honestly think Bush is so sidetracked with all that is going on that he is almost paralyzed......and Rove is just twiddling his thumbs.....I'm so very disappointed in Bush at this point.....
Now is not apparently the time, but I expect it to be the time soon. Don't want to peak too soon. I know, it's scary, and I don't have much faith, but so far Bush has managed to peak for the party right before each election.
I have to hope there is a plan, and it will work. I have to hope that the base comes around. I have to hope that we can convince fellow conservatives that as bad as the senate is, it would be worse going through the next two years with the democrats back in power (like they were the first 2 years). Maybe Bush would bring Harriet Miers back, because she's all he could get through a democrat senate.
Remember, with "Majority Leader Reid", there is no filibuster -- the committee simply votes down every conservative on a party-line vote.
Worse, the economy is great, the country is in GREAT SHAPE. People are depressed because the media TELLS them to be, the democrats tell them to be.
If the dems take over, expect that within 2 months the story in the media will be about Morning In America, and since it IS great, it will be an easy sell. The media will give the Democrats in the Senate all the credit, and it will put a democrat in the white house in 2008. And we'll have to wait for the inevitable downturn before we can win back anything.
I just went through this here in Virginia. I'm tired of it. Do you SEE what the media does with your "protest votes"? Is ANYBODY saying that the problem in Virginia was that the candidates weren't conservative, or didn't reach out to their conservative base, or that Bush didn't enact a conservative agenda?
NO, they are saying the candidates were TOO conservative, that the "arch-conservative" Bush pulled down the candidate, that he turned off the moderates that are 'essential'. Since a conservative delegate lost because the conservatives stayed home, the media says that GOP needs to run more "moderate, centrist" candidates to stay in power.
Well, gee, THANKS A LOT CONSERVATIVES. We are making REAL progress, but because it isn't fast enough for some of you "purist" conservatives, you are ready to give up before the game is over. Quitters, Whiners, complainers.
Sometimes you sicken me.
Santorum is about as conservative as you could WANT in PA. And the conservatives will stay home to PUNISH HIM for not supporting another CONSERVATIVE in a primary against Specter. Yea, make the WHOLE COUNTRY pay because of your hissy-fit.
Find your perfect, 100% pure conservative, and get him or her elected, and then come back and talk. But they probably would say SOMETHING wrong and you'd drop them like a rock.
OK, enough for me. Sorry if that was too harsh, but I'm not going to go back and edit it.
