Should be titled "Bush abandoning the Republican Right".
Duh.
Last info I remember about open or competitive seats is that there is 34 open or competitive seats in the house which 22 are held currently by Republicans meaning the Rats have a 35% chance of getting the 16 needed from current Republican seats but only 11% chance of getting those seats and maintaining all of theirs to get the majority. The seats in the Senate actually mathematically give the Rats a better chance but because of the make up of Red and Blue states it's even more unlikely the Rats can take the Senate. The highest estimate I saw on predicted Rat favor was a gain of 7-10 in the House and 0-2 in the Senate. I don't believe they'll gain more than 4-5 in the House and 1 in the Senate.
It would be grossly unfair for conservatives in the House to be defeated because of the President's liberal spending and his disasterous amnesty plan for illegal aliens. Every conservative needs to get out and vote for conservatives in the House and the few conservatives in the Senate. The RINOs can leave with no regrets because they've done nothing but vote with the Dems anyway.
Refusal to control illegal immigration, out-of-control spending, expansion of federal control of education, CFR, a prescription drug entitlement, and the rehabilitation of Bill Clinton by him and his parents, are some of the areas where Bush has abandoned his conservative base (not to mention abandoning rationality). But, IMO, his most damaging policy has been his "new tone" of appeasement, which has proven to be a "green light" for the left to continuously attack him with lies and innuendo without fear of retribution. That, combined with bumbling, inarticulate press secretaries, has given the left virtual majority power.
I respect President Bush for his work in the war against the terrorists.
I am DEEPLY disappointed with Senor Bush's immigration policy.
Bush hasn’t changed. He is the same now, on all the issues, as he was just after 911. (That’s why the dems always sound so foolish to me when they try to say they liked him then but hate him now. Think about this.) Straight talker, no nonsense, does what he says he's gonna do.
Bush's accomplishments are huge. Watch his legacy in ten or fifteen years.
I will never desert President Bush. Especially while he’s in office. First of all, because of loyalty. But also because the liberals are trying as hard as they can to split the Republican party. Ain’t gonna happen.
And with Nutty Nancy running the House, at least we'll KNOW there are KNOWN big-spending socialist morons in charge instead of the current undercover socialists in the Oval Office and Congress.
It's the old story of Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber (aka the Republicrats).
To MSNBC
If wishes were horses ya wouldn't have to walk
TT
Intresting to note, every signel on of your Post is a pro DNC Talking point. So who do YOU work for? DNC? Moveon.org? Act Up? Hillary 2008?
I have supported GW all along. Stood behind him in the WOT.
But I have to admitt, I'll be glad to see the end of the Bush Family in national politics.
I am NOT a compassonate Conservative and am bloddy tired of having it rammed down my throat.
Time to get those damn NEOCONS out of the White House and put in REAL CONSERVATIVES for a change!!!!
GET THEM OUT!
Excuse me .. when you weight your poll with 11-14% democrats over repubs .. and you include in your poll the same amount of independents (with no tally as to their leanings) - which by the way doesn't compute with voter registration percentages of independents, you are essentially setting the poll up to get the numbers you want - the numbers which fit your agenda - HATE BUSH.
Rasmussen has been the closest to the real numbers - with Bush at 43% - and since the President has made a 5% leap this week - Bush now stands at 48%.
So their premise that the right is abandoning Bush - is based on their FALSE POLLING DATA.
You can't get much more stupid than that .. believing your own skewed polling .. remember .. this is what Carville did in 2002 when he said they were going to win everything and they won nothing and he put a garbage can on his head ..??
Ping!
All the republicans have to do is pass H.R. 4437 close the borders, and start sweeps to catch, fine, and imprison employers that hire illegals. Their poll numbers would go way up with conservatives, independents, and some democrats also.
Guess they haven't checked their stock portfolios or US security lately...perhaps in Nov...let's hope.
