The Bush Administration has Sunk

[ck4829]

"At this stage of the game, barring some imaginative political moves that bear some resemblance to the Bush Administration circa 2002, Republicans on Capitol Hill and even some longtime Bush team members in various Cabinet level departments say this Administration is done for.

"You run down the list of things we thought we could accomplish and you have to wonder what we thought we were thinking," says a Bush Administration member who joined on in 2001. "You get the impression that we're more than listless. We're sunk."

Too pessimistic? Maybe not. Rumors are flying through various departments of longtime senior Bush loyalists looking to jump, but with few opportunities in the private sector to make the jump look like anything more than desperation <...>

Congressional committee sources on both sides of Capitol Hill predict tough slogging on anything of policy consequence. "Social Security is dead as far as my chairman is concerned. So are the tax cuts," says a Ways and Means staffer of Chairman Bill Thomas."

BTW, this isn't from the American Prospect. It's from the right-wing American Spectator.

2. John Roberts will be

3. Christ, it'll take decades to undo what they've already done.....

we can't afford to let them go any further with their twisted agenda.

4. I hate the American Spectator

:grr:

Even privately, with the political and policy debacle that the White House created with its Clintonian response to Hurricane Katrina, policy and political types at 1600 Pennsylvania insist what's left of an agenda is still viable.

5. They don't mean FEMA

but the programs and money to be spent.

6. no, they're not "done for"

when are people going to get it?

there's a reason they've been able to do everything they've done, and have a careless maverick attitude about it. and there's a reason they will continue to act this way.

they own the voting machines.

they are "not done" for until we fix the problems with our election system.

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. I also say the same

I agree with yuo... fully

People need to think outside the box, these bastards will not leave peacefully... but few of us are grasping this, too few of us

13. Maybe A Few Of Us Think You're Reaching

Condescend all you want, but i don't agree that the voting machines have made their agenda a lock.

They overreached badly and the american people in the middle will accept only so much. The limit has been reached and we see LOTS of conservatives distancing themselves.

And, if you have absolute proof that the voting machines are irretrievably rigged, then present it. In the meantime, admit that you're wildly speculating.

9. And bringing back ...

...free and fair elections will never happen while Christo-Republifascists hold majority power in both House and Senate.
Our options are:

1) A New American Revolution

2) Learn to give the fascist salute with a smile:

10. there are ways to fight election fraud

11. I wasn't familiar...

...with that suit, thanks for the link.

[garybeck]

12. there should be one of those suits in every state! n/t

7. I can think of a lovely place to "jump"

Beautiful lake just outside of New Orleans. I hope these rats are as unemployable as Brownie is right now. Because when the Dems take back Congress and the White House, the first order should be that no lobbying group that has even a RePuke RECEPTIONIST will be allowed to talk to any democrat. Period.
