I agree completely.
"But what about Iraq and gas prices? Here, Bush needs help from outside events. Since early 2005, his presidency has been beset not only by Iraq and gas prices but by other outside events, including Hurricane Katrina and the Dubai ports deal. Now, a Republican official says, "it would help to have an outside situation that we could take advantage of."
Heaven helps those who help themselves.
Bush should come out swinging at the Eco-nuts and at Congress for not moving his energy program.
He should also kick Rove's butt around the White House over his "Guest Worker" nonesense - unless, of course, it was his own idea.
A "the democrats are satan" message is not the message the party needs. We should be heading into the election touting over a decade of great accomplishments. Instead,... we are up a creek without a paddle.
I sure hope things change rapidly. So many republicans are just not getting it.
The Rats selling out our Country for power is going to get me to the polls not the Republicans selling out their base cause their clueless.
They have only themselves to blame.
This conservative won't be going to the polls in November to vote for any candidates that support amnesty when it comes up for a vote. I'd rather stay home. I will be voting for any Republican that supports an "enforcement first" approach.
No habla ingles.
Nope. But it does still have a "stab a conservative back" feature.
Immigration "reform" is killing Bush among the Republican base and Fred hasn't got a clue. Good grief. He truly is a Beltway Boy.
I think this is a good strategy so Rove can focus on the disgruntled conservatives in the flock that are at wits end. We have a lot of dispirited sprinters in this marathon.
Gas prices are God's gift to the GOP. This is an issue that anyone can understand. When we cuss "environmentalists" for stopping all drilling, refinery construction, power plant construction, nuke plants of any kind, pipelines, even windfarms for crying out loud, they even oppose windfarms...
In every case we are talking about Democrats and DNC proxies. We are talking about the nutjobs who make up the Democratic Party. People have to be told that until they turn these people out of office in large numbers we will never have secure energy supplies.
When your enemies are blaming you for something they themselves have caused, it isn't enough to sit and hope people will see through it. Believe me, my Uncle Harry isn't that smart, he thinks oil, he thinks Republicans, and he thinks they are to blame. Sit silent in the face of the irrational and it is as good as an admission of guilt.
You have to come out fighting, and push it right back at them. I promise it will energize the "faithful", because they are waiting for someone with a little grit to step forward into the fray. It would be nice if it was the president.
Fred does not mention immigration because he's about as much out of touch as the GOP. Fred propably thinks that right before the election, the GOP will throw a few bones to conservatives and they will turn out in droves.
Fred, u need to get out the beltway more often.
Count me out if McCain runs.
Will finally someone come forward and call a spade a spade.
Democrats laugh all the way to the polls for having choked off oil and natural gas exploration, refinery construction, and now point blame at Republicans.
Will the Bush administration muster the guts and say so, regardless of media howls about global warming.
IOW, how could we fool them again?
