I think his not-fighting-back laid the path for the upset in the 2006 election, and that was the beginning of it.

What I remember most about 2006, was that not one Republican member of Congress stood behind the President. No one stood up for the troops in Iraq, and no one stood up for the necessity of the War on Terror.

They all ran and hid. I think if some of them had stood up against the leftist attacks, we might not have lost Congress.

On top of that, there was clearly no one willing to be the "attack dog" that he needed. It was all unfortunate.

Same as it is today - why isn't the GOP fighting Obama tooth and nail - fighting him down and dirty like our country's future depends on it?

He should have sic’d Cheney on them.

In 2006, they were stung by the way the Democrats and MSM held onto the Mark Foley page emails for a year. Then they let Pelosi tie it around Hastert's neck. There wasn't much anyone could do after that.
