It's not just up to the President. The Republicans should be out there speaking up at any opportunity. Do you hear them because I sure don't. They have left the President and he cannot do it alone.
Great point. May be happening but MSM would never report it.
I heartily agree.
I agree to a certain extent, but the Republicans are in a mess because they are without leadership and Bush is their ultimate leader. They've gladly ridden his coat tails for the last four years and should know that a fractured party will only result in disaster for the party.
Bush should be working overtime with the Senators and Representatives he trusts to strategize and reign in the negativity and lies the MSM is spreading. Remember the Clinton's "war room" and their rapid response team? Hell, it was effective and they were defending the indefensible!!!
The Bush administration should implement something similar to help stop the daily unanswered tidal waves of lies and negativity. Using the bully pulpit to demand media accountability when lies are repeated ad nauseam is a great place to start, but first his communications department needs overhauling. He can start by replacing Scott McClellan, whom the press corp treats with intolerable disrespect.
Ultimately it is up to the President to get his party in line and behind him. Sometimes I think he is oblivious to how bad the situation has deteriorated and he needs to wake up before it's too late. Paging Karl Rove..... Help!!!
