Looks like the GOP is none too happy with the Bush right now
please check out these two articles. Seems like the VERY idea of of the Federal Gov't stepping in to finance the Katrina rebuild is too much for them to handle, based on both of these articles on HUMAN EVENT ONLINE.

and

I don't think the tide is turning persay, but I have never seen such scathing criticism of the GOP from this site before. I think their problem is that, in the wake of Katrina, the current admin now behaves more and more like the Democrats every day...

...and we can't have that, now, can we?

2. Aww, it's just words.
Really, BushCo is only using federal funds to finance another giveaway to his cronies, so it's business as usual and, gosh, it never bothered them before.

Silly GOP. It's still a pork barrel for the rich guys. Stop worrying.

3. Welcome to DU!!! Excellent post!
When Human Events is on your ass and you're a Republican, something is very wrong. This is ugly and will get worse.

Here's a little gem for you.

Read this article and guess what this guy's political affiliation is. You'll enjoy his other stuff too:

4. Our best hope for the far right...
..is to get them to vote 3rd party or not vote at all ("there's no difference") They will NEVER vote Democrat (not that you said they ever would).

I guess it's my soapbox time again when I point out my experience with talk radio.

Talk radio used to be this conclave of local anti-establishment libertarian who had fantasies of not needing government and not paying taxes. Rare were the talk radio hosts who directly supported a given political party except for the libertarian party.

Rush, syndication and Clearchannel turned them into Republicans, however. If we can turn that back, however, IMO, we can win back our country...
