The President is *hardly* blameless in this.
LOL
See, there you go again...
Seriously though, of course the repubs and Bush deserve criticism, the problem is a) we beat up on ourselves, while not beating up on them nearly enough and b), since they sweep everything under the rug about them and don’t ever stab one another in the back like we do, we fighting, and losing, a two fronted war.
If the Presidents poll numbers are hurting the Congress , may I ask what the Congress’s poll numbers are.
What is hurting the GOP is a lack of scrotum.
George W. Bush becomes President in actual elections.
Being honest?
“Seriously though, of course the repubs and Bush deserve criticism, the problem is a) we beat up on ourselves, while not beating up on them nearly enough and b), since they sweep everything under the rug about them and don’t ever stab one another in the back like we do, we fighting, and losing, a two fronted war.”
I’m not sure I consider myself part of any group led by a pro-amnesty nanny-stater anymore. I’m a conservative and increasingly not a Republican. Oh, and that’s not MY fault, but that of the GOP. Not responding to MSM attacks is ALSO the fault of the GOP. If we attack our own, it's because we have principles worth defending and don't tolerate garbage.
"FREE THE ALBANIAN ROOFERS"
bush has probably elected a democrap president in 2008.
Another McCain duh moment, the party has no core values therefore nothing to flight for or with.
It’s clear he wants to go beyond that and import enough Democrat voters to make sure the Republican Party will not hold a majority for the next 40 years at least.
What did the Republican party ever do to him to deserve such a fate?
McCain is one of the reasons for the state of the current GOP.
Granted the PR staff of the WH has been inept since 05....But the WH wasn't up for reeleciton in 06....and it was the GOP Congress that ran away from standing up for this WOT...and it was the GOP congress that refused to stand up and take the fight to the DEMs on issue afer issue in 06....
Yes, the WH make some foolish decisions (Immigration reform how they went about it being the major one)....but that shouldn't have been the focus of the GOP last election. It should have been about defeating the DEMs.....We are at war adn we allowed the pathetic ilk of the DEM leadership now to be in charge of Congress during a time of war...Shameful.
McQueeg at his best. I guess he has forgotton all the appearances he made on the Sunday morning talk shows back stabbing the president.
He’s not my CINC, but the President. I take no orders from him. Be careful in your use of terminology like “Commander in Chief”. The President is formally the NCA, but he is NOT the Commander in Chief of the United States.
“But the WH wasn’t up for reeleciton in 06....and it was the GOP Congress that ran away from standing up for this WOT...and it was the GOP congress that refused to stand up and take the fight to the DEMs on issue afer issue in 06....”
Ordinarily, the WH would do what it could to keep Congress from being lost. In this case, I think they WANTED Congress lost. Either that, or Rove is not quite as bright as some think.
“Yes, the WH make some foolish decisions (Immigration reform how they went about it being the major one)”
That they went about it at ALL and have ignored the problem for 6 YEARS is a major one. Especially because of the war. It shows just where their priorities lie - and it is NOT with defense of the country.
“We are at war adn we allowed the pathetic ilk of the DEM leadership now to be in charge of Congress during a time of war...Shameful.”
We didn’t allow it. To paraphrase Tony Snow... “now we have a Congress we can work with”. Amnesty was always the priority and hang the war. If the war was a priority, we’d have real border security and a ban on Muslim immigration. What we have are little old ladies roughed up at airports and the President encouraging Muslim immigration.
I find that shameful.
I find his push for Mel Martinez to be this invented “General Chair” shameful.
When we have our own problems, it makes it difficult to point ot Feinstein and Jefferson and Murtha, firstly the media always will use the Dem talking points, secondly, when a Republican goes out to point out Dhimmicrat misdeeds, the media always points to counter balancing Republican behaviour.
So they do not even try to go out and fight anymore, and what happens then is the field is ceeded to the Dhims, in that you are very very correct.
When VP Cheney goes onto Fox and basically says the Republican Party an go err “abuse” themselves, what is that saying?
NOT YET!!! 8^)
John who?
“When we have our own problems, it makes it difficult to point ot Feinstein” then how are they able to point at us? Every party has glass windows. That hasn’t stopped the DNC from bashing our windows in.
“the media always will use the Dem talking points” true.
Our loss of the media and universities is the most devastating structural problem we face. The communist agenda, as posted here a thousand times (from 1964) is alive and well.
“When VP Cheney goes onto Fox and basically says the Republican Party an go err “abuse” themselves, what is that saying” HUH? Don’t understand the referrence.
agree.
i’m very disappointed.
having lived through the vietnam nightmare, and the destruction of the war at home, i expected a lot from bush.
i expected a decisive war on terror that would set the stage for a conservative majority for years, just as the democraps controlled the u.s. government since fdr.
