The Republicans are coming back |
|
Edited on Mon Sep-26-05 08:30 PM by INdemo
Well folks after reading an editorial in our local newspaper by Morton Kondracke,probably edited by Karl Rove, then listening to Paula Zahn put down the leaders in Louisiana with the help of local reporters,it appears that the Republicans are on the march to pull George Bush out of quicksand and it appears they are succeeding.

1. Seceding or succeeding? |
|
It's fine with me if they secede. And I don't really think they're succeeding, either.

7. I hope they are successful at seceding. |
|
Sorry, original poster; secede is what the south did just before the Civil War. I think what you meant is succeeding.
If they do "succeed" in this endeavor, my only explanation is that the American public just hasn't eaten enough of the crap sandwich they've been munching on for five years.

5. Do you mean "succeeding"? |
|
I'm not so sure they are. I know that the marches this weekend were pretty much marginalized by the media, which is par for the course. But on the ground, not in the "lofty" heights of Rovian spin, there are so many people who are angry -- angry about the war, angry about the crappy response (or lack thereof) to Katrina, the mess that was made of the evacuation in Texas. The people who have lived through this stuff -- loosing a family member to war, losing everything to a hurricane and not etting help for days, well, they aren't going to give much of a s**t about how Rove wants to spin things, because they know the reality. So, with all due respect, I hope you are wrong.
Peace.

"Protect the little baby! Protect the child from all criticism! Protect him from those mean old liberals!!"
The overprotective adults are off to work now, while the Baby Bush sits in his room eating peanut-butter and jelly sandwiches.

8. I never had much stock in seccionists. not a good cause to fight for |
|
In spite of all the king's media whores and all the king's minions, Chimpty Dumpty won't get put back together again.
He's still got years to go, and people don't change. Something else, ( god forbid ) is likely to happen. It probably isn't much fun being in the Chimp faction these days and I think it will get worse.

I get so disgusted that knowing if a Democrat had been in the White House with all this incompetence taking place with Katrina, the war,the budget ...Well God help us. But it just seems that it doesnt matter what George Bush does,I mean this guy could stumble in front of a camera and and pull out a pint of Jack D. and guzzle it down, the media would cover for him and his rating would go up.

The coverage of the Bush admin in the media has changed post Katrina. Reporters are asking tougher questions and being far more agressive. That has not lessened one bit. Repubs are also turning bigtime on each other of late, spend a few minutes at freerepublic and that becomes clear. They are splitting over spending, Roberts, and other stuff like I have not seen before. Their own anger over Roberts has made me think that he may actually be pretty good as a justice. I would be far more worried if they were happy about him.
The people on the street are also far more likely to say bad things about Bush. For the first time I have had a friend who voted for him 2x saying terrible things about him. Also look at the polls numbers over the last few days. His numbers are going down down down

takes their fancy.
They aren't going down without a fight, but we must keep exposing their lies and their cover-ups. Keep up the pressure. They will eventually implode.

coming back as spirochetes. Or giardia cysts. Maybe some bannana slugs. But first they're going to Hell.

29. this is Karl's trick that almost failed in 2000--pretend you already won |
|
It worked after election day, creating the perception that the legal wrangling would shake out in Bush's favor, but before the election it made Bush look smug and presumptuous.
In this case, they aren't coming back, they are just returning to form after an infinitely brief feint at being contrite and compassionate to confuse their critics.

Lets make sure the electronic voting machines are banned so we can return to actual "election fraud free" elections and then we know we can take back both the House and Senate and that would be a hell-of-a start..
