Bush annoys GOP troops

"Why am I not surprised that Ganske once again sides with the Democrats?"

The GOP really needs to find someone to run against him during the primaries.

[OldDominion]

I am a GWB fan, for the most part. However, I was extremely dissapointed that he did not participate at all here in Virginia during the recent governor's race. I know he is busy, but a single appearance could have made the differnence. One of the "spoils" that a presidential victory should include is helping fellow republicans win.

[marajade]

From the article:

"Carnahan now finds her vote, as a newly sworn senator, against Ashcroft's confirmation as attorney general to be a political negative. It followed Ashcroft's decision not to contest the election of Gov. Mel Carnahan after his fatal plane crash."

Maybe the decision by the liberal leaning judge to leave the polls open in St Louis for an additional 45 minutes ensuring an Ashcroft loss has come around to bite them in the butt. In other words, what comes around goes around.

"I know he is busy, but a single appearance could have made the differnence."

It wouldn't have made a difference. The Republicans ran an anti-gun Republican against a pro-gun and fiscally conservative Democrat in a state where taxes and gun rights are high.

It would be highly amusing if she was spanked for voting the way Dashole and Co. told her to. I wonder what her poll numbers are?

[marajade]

"I wonder what her poll numbers are?"

I don't know but 77% is pretty good. I can't believe hers are as high.

It's getting harder and harder to tell the democrats from the republicans in congress. They are all a bunch of money grubbing premodonnas with wind bags that never stop crying. Sick of all of them. They are the problem.

Are you sure of your facts? Are you absolutely sure that Warner was telling the truth? Or was he just telling people what they wanted to hear?

If i am not mistaken, the NRA gave Early an "A-" and endorsed him near the end of the campaign.

[Graewoulf]

When I read that the Republican LEADERS whine about the President's "--failure to use his bully pulpit--" it gives me pause -- why are the Republican leaders depending on the President to do THEIR work?

Did we not elect THEM to LEAD? Are they Republican in name only?

[VRWC For Truth]

The problem is in the Senate. Trench Lott is a ball-less wonder and the RINOs in the Senate with McNasty leading the mutiny are despicable.

[VA Advogado]

The Club for Growth rocks. Those guys will carpet bomb any liberal RINO who wanders into democrat held territory. Gotta love them.

[jwalsh07]

The target of the house's ire should be, number one the senate republicans who all voted with the leftists and number two Andrew Card who let it slip that Bush would sign either bill putting his boss in an untenable position. Bush isn't perfect but in the ned the people get what they want.

The Senate Campaign Committeee got my donation back with no money and a note telling them I was keeping it to pay for the golden handshakes that the new 30,000 baggage screeners will someday get and for the dry cleaning bill for the golden showers I have once again been subjected to.

PS: John McCain once again gets dishonorable mention for being the republican most likely to stick a knife in the back of conservatives.

[Piquaboy]

These GOP troops annoy me by caving in at every opportunity to the Damolcraps.

[marajade]

"Are you absolutely sure that Warner was telling the truth?"

I don't know but the voting public of VA believed him.

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

I watched Lott complain about lack of WH veto threats.

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

Why do the moderates believe they have any affiliation with conservative politics?

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

I watched Lott complain about lack of WH veto threats.

I missed it, thank God. He is complaining because he can't do his job & instead relies on the WH to bail him out? He wants the WH to be the bad guy, so he can be a gentleman. He is a spineless lump of flacid tissue.
