I think a fish stinks from the head.
Condi, like other actors in this flawed administration, are merely reflecting Administration policy on issues - which is a good reason why patriotic conservatives should in no way serve in any policy related capacity in this administration.
Another flawed Republican, Richard Nixon, initiated these problems by opening relations with this peculiar Soviet style slave state. Other administrations continued to pander to them in the belief that free trade with the mainland fascist state of Red China would produce benefits in the way of increased freedoms. The only benefits thus far have accrued to the rulers of the slave state who reap profits from producing cheap and dangerous junk exports for America which translates into more cash to bankroll the military machine they are aiming at us and the rest of the free world, and those internationalist globalists who initiated the transfer of American production to the Red Chinese. Nixon’s plan has failed. Bush II’s policies after Tienmem Square emboldened them. Bill Clinton provided them with dangerous military technology and the current administration is doing the same thing with military intelligence.
Bush has been a catastrophy. He has given us a few benefits - some apparently good conervative judicial appointees and forestalled any successful attacks on America’s heartland. He has also kept the economy going.
But he has engineered a border policy which is destroying us culturally and socially from within, alienated the Republican conservative base, engineered a war in Iraq which should have been and could have been successully concluded long ago, and failed to destroy the other major targets in the Middle East - Iran and the Syrians.
His actions have lost us control of Congress, jeopardized the 2008 elections, and undone the progress of his predecessors in the Republican Party. He has laid the ground work for the destruction of the Republican Party.
I sincerely hope, and will do all I can, to assure a victory by Duncan Hunter, or, failing that, Fred Thompson in 2008. They and Tom Tancredo, are the only Republicans capable of rectifying the damage created by this man and his administration.
In no way will I contribute to the victory of another clone of his like Rudy Giulani or Mit Romney.
It was not the only Bush’s actions that lost congress. It was Congress’ lack of action. Bush and Cheney and about 3 others made the arguments for the Iraq war while the vast majority of GOPers cut and run from the argument. This left the dems and MSM 24/7 to get their anti-war voices placed each day on the front pages and airwaves. Then Abramhoff and Foley. Couple that with relative inaction on just about everything meaningful, they were toast. Do you even remember anything Frist or Hastert or John Boehner did or said during 2006, other than Denny complaining about the raid on William Jefferson’s house?
