The Republicans have filed for legal separation from George W Bush

[kentuck]

With his favorable polls in freefall, Republicans up for re-election next year are becoming very concerned about their relationship with George W Bush. The Miers nomination was akin to an adulterous affair. They do not know if they can trust him again.

So, they are making a legal separation. He has become a possible and probable liability to them in next years election. The time has come to think about moving out. It is not easy because they really love him. But they love themselves more.

1. I like watching them squirm.....

They have rubber stamped everything he has sent them. Let them writhe in agony attempting to get away from him. I have lots and lots of popcorn.

14. do you mind if i join you..???

:popcorn:

20. It's just too bad so many Dems have rubberstamped Bush's bills too. n/t

[Griton]

21. LOL!!

Pass the pop corn

2. We need a few more poll slipping moments

before they are ready to get rid of the NeoCons.

IMO, the Neo Cons are NOT Christians. They are just greedy scum that wants to take over the world.

Regular corporate rethugs and born agains are NOT like Bush. I think they are beginning to see the difference.

16. Neo Cons like torture

They like inciting the Muslims, they probably set gasoline soaked cats on fire as kids to amuse themselves, and cheated ruthlessly in college and do character assassination in their day to day relationships with others and just consider it business as usual and merely the normal human process of getting ahead.

They don't know what sound ethical behavior is, they don't understand the Golden Rule, and they live and die based on how well they work the wedge issues to use fear and intimidation.

One of them on Liberty Post openly acknowledges he is a fascist and has called for the Balkanization of this country because, "Americans need a divorce from each other."

I listen to the spouting of the worst of these idiots and get a clear picture of what the more cunning of these people are thinking without their layers of rhetorical plausible denial.

What they are actually thinking. That's what alarms me the most about these dangerous people.

17. the neo-cons are totally separate from shrub's

fundie base. they are the imperialists and i am pretty sure they are fed up with shrub's handling of iraq, among other things (see bill crystal). their ranks include rumsfeld, wolfowitz and feith and are mostly jewish and very pro-israel.

3. Never let it be forgotten: They were all in Lock Step

[niceypoo]

8. "Were" being the definitive word......

4. Reagan's 11th commandment makes That a sin.

The rats can't get off this sinking ship.

5. What does Bush care? He has gotten everything that he wants.

He and his friends are rich, and he has gotten away with murder. His life will be a good one when he retires in luxury. I hope that there is an afterlife, becasue that is the only place he will pay for what he has done. Not in this one.

[carolinalady]

12. Don't forget--with the new laws-he only gets secret service

protection for 10 years after office. He has made an awful lot of enemies. I bet he tries to get that changed before he leaves, if he is smart enough to think about it.

[cassiepriam]

18. He'll think of it. When it comes to taking care of No. 1, he has brains.

He will change as many laws as he wants to ensure his luxury, safety and comfort, sparing no taxpayer expense. Do not doubt it for a moment.

6. So who gets

the kids and the summer time share?

7. Once a few new spin machines are installed and Georgie is fixed

they will all be back, on hands and knees, begging for forgiveness from BushCo. They always do. Pukes want to milk the system for all it is worth, and if that means a temporary distancing from Idiot Double Plus, they will do it. Hell, most of them would sell their mothers on the black market if they thought they could cash in enough. Juan, Leslie, Cokespoon, Katie, Matt, Bret and the rest of the cabal will fix this for Shrubbie.

9. The man behind the curtain is exposed.....

he frantically pulls levers and spins dials (terra lerts) but all can see him now.

[MaineDem]

10. The head of the '04 Bush-Cheney Maine campaign was running...

Peter Cianchette was candidate for Governor since announcing in July. Two weeks ago he withdrew from the race. He stated it was to (get this GOP meme) spend more time with his family. :eyes: His association with the Bush-Cheney campaign had already become an issue for him. Now I don't know if this played any part in his decision but it did take away a great opportunity for the Dems to paint the GOP candidate with the Bush Brush.

11. They will stay together for the good of the child - "w" &

2006. Separate bedrooms and lot's of flirting with danger to ensue...

[havocmom]

13. On grounds of irreconcilable similarities?

bush is their theories taken to the extreme conclusion. They want society to devolve to survival of the nastiest.

[TheCowsCameHome]

15. Request Denied: He broke it, you bought it.

He's all yours. Sorry, RW, but he's your love child. Now live with it.

[Kurovski]

19. I think it will be important to point out that The Republican Party

as a whole were responsible for the mess we face now.

Don't let them get away with suddenly washing their hands of Bush after massaging him from head to toe for five years.

The entire party went lockstep, absolute LOCKSTEP on every idiotic, blatantly damaging march the WH led.

Edit to add: the only real legal seperation will be impeachment. That is when I will believe the R's wish to seperate the party from Bush's policies and actions. That is the only way the party will win back any respect.

[mitchum]

22. They came to the dance with that worthless sonofabitch...

make them spend the evening with him.
They will try to distance themselves in '06, but it won't work. They branded bush as THE FACE of the republican party. Ha Ha!
