Republicans whispering if this is the time to drop Bush ?

[kentuck]

They must protect themselves. They want to put as much distance between themselves and their leader as they possibly can between now and the first Tuesday in November. But will they be able to do it? Can the Democrats tie them directly to the Bush policies? It's difficult for them to escape the fact that they gave Bush everything he wanted. But they are whispering...

1. They can't escape and are destined to lose.

[saltpoint]

2. I hear the whispers, too. And they're getting louder...

Could be a real disappointing year for Republicans.

Hot dog.

3. The Kool Aid drinkers will not forgive them for abandoning a "Godly Man"

The Fristians will forgive aWoL anything as long as he claims to be truly born again. I on the other hand judge people by their actions not their words..

4. They can whisper until their lips dry out and fall off!

That won't work!

They all stood with Junior and were very vocal about their support. Those running against the Republicans will be able to showcase their opponents' voting records, and how many times they toed the Bush line. Plus, I'm sure there's some great soundbytes of them all instructing the minions to respect and love our wonderful pResident.

WhooooHooo!

Jim Nussle--a total Bushbot is giving up his congressional seat to run for Governor in Iowa. I can't wait for this! He will go down--so big--because everyone knows that he's been on Junior's side for years. You can't walk away from what you've been running toward--for several years!

They're all scared because there's no way in hell that they can reverse course six months before the election. They know they will look disingenuous.

They made their beds with Junior underneath their covers--and now they must deal with the political STDs that they have contracted!

HA!! I say!!!

5. I think they'll dump him by August.

They'd throw their own mothers under a train to save their skins. For a long time now, I've been predicting AUgust 2006 as the end of Bush's crime spree.

6. Weren't they the ones who were pushing the "brand"

not long ago? When Bush was their bright (well, not too bright) shining star? ? ?
