Here's a quote from another thread;

"Then there's our Party leadership.

Although George Bush deserves credit for hanging tough in Iraq even though it would be easier to just pull out, he has become isolated from his base, is pushing a wildly unpopular amnesty bill, and he has allowed himself to be a hapless punching bag for the Democrats.

Since 2006, watching the Democrats take on George Bush has been about like watching a pack of lions closing in on a herd full of lame antelope. They're going for the kill, the Bushies are desperately running for their lives, and you want to turn your head away rather than look at the slaughter.

Meanwhile, in the House, John Boehner is pushing a Republican with corruption problems, Ken Calvert, onto the Appropriations Committee over the protests of the Rightroots.

In the Senate, Mitch McConnell is preparing the way for Ted Kennedy's amnesty bill. At the Republican National Committee, the RNC Chair, Mel Martinez, has been so invisible compared to his talented predecessor, Ken Mehlman, that I wonder if they've been hiding him in some of the "undisclosed locations" that Dick Cheney spent so much time in during 2004.

Additionally, earlier this month over at the NRCC, Tom Cole, the guy who is supposed to be leading the charge to help us take back Congress, had this to say about why we got creamed in 2006, "Oh, I don't think the problem was spending. People who argue that we lost because we weren't true to our base, that's just wrong."

I don't make this stuff up!
