I had high hopes after 2004. Really thought President Bush was going to show his true conservative colors. Boy was I wrong. If anything, he got more liberal and more stubborn.
So as much as I want to believe that President Bush and the rest of them will shape up in the next 6 months, I just don't think it's going to happen. If they do start trying to turn this Titanic around, it's probably going to be too late for many in the Republican party.
You know I would have a little more hope if President Bush even acknowledged that the border issue is one of the causes of his low ratings but when asked about his low ratings, it doesn't enter his brain at all.
I will vote Republican in 2006 and 2008 but I think quite a few of us will abstain. Something radical has to happen now because the iceberg is getting closer and closer. The Republicans have blown it big time.
I wonder if I am the only person getting these bogus "surveys" from the GOP Senate committee, asking about crucial issues but which don't even mention the border security issue. The Senate is A-F*ing WOL on this issue, and maybe GW realizes that he has a band of cowering nobodies behind him on Capitol Hill. If so he needs desperately to reconsider his political strategy, and run against the Congress if necessary to galvanize them into action. The real polls are on the side of strong border security, and the 'rats will not overlook that fact.
