Joe Scarborough to Congress: "SAVE YOURSELF! BLAME BUSH!"

[Bluebear]

But this is Dubya's Washington, where the White House has pushed around, bullied and betrayed GOP lawmakers for years.

I can't help but feel sorry for my old Republican friends in Congress who are fighting for their political lives. After all, it must be tough explaining to voters at their local Baptist church's Keep Congress Conservative Day that it was their party that took a $155 billion surplus and turned it into a record-setting $400 billion deficit.

How exactly does one convince the teeming masses that Republicans deserve to stay in power despite botching a war, doubling the national debt, keeping company with Jack Abramoff, fumbling the response to Hurricane Katrina, expanding the government at record rates, raising cronyism to an art form, playing poker with Duke Cunningham, isolating America and repeatedly electing Tom DeLay as their House majority leader?

How does a God-fearing Reagan Republican explain all that away?

Easy. Blame George W. Bush....

1. Really! The McCain, Graham thing was JUST A SHOW!

They are all the same diease. FIRE THEM!

[babylonsister]

2. His 'old Republican friends'? Does that mean ole flip-flopper

Joe is distancing himself from them - this week?
Though it's nice he provided a laundry list of all the repug efforts to turn this country upside down.

3. dead intern Joe= major flip-flopper...

all them fat asses in the MSM are alike and sooooooooo predictable....hahaha

[LiberalArkie]

4. But, isn't it nice that they are sooo transparent!!!

[Uncle Joe]

5. Joe missed the part about defending and promoting torture

along with trashing our home world (God's Creation)as if there were no tomorrow. How do they explain that their voters in church? Do they even try or just ignore these issues?

[Bluebear]

6. Our task is to show the GOP as ENABLING Chimpolini for 6 years

I do love seeing them turn on Bush to save their own pathetic hides, though :)

[Uncle Joe]

8. I agree Bluebear, it does make for a nice Saturday.

:) As a side note, I think David Letterman should incorporate Bush defending torture yesterday in to his Greatest Presidential Speeches routine, as a nice contrast to FDR and JFK's. Maybe that will wake a few more people up. Have a good weekend.:hi:

7. TOO LITTLE TOO LATE..The GOPers have supported Bush from

the GITGO and have revealed they cannot pick a good Leader much less recognize one..

They squeal with anguish at the prospect of losing Power...the same Power they have misused and wasted.

Its too late, their basic philosophy is one of Selfishness and Ignorance...

[indepat]

14. Repugs have supported in near lockstep fashion, no matter how

wrong-headed, how disastrous.

15. A very bad sign in Social Studies 102.47

The Lemming Syndrome is explained in this chapter.

9. The thing is, Hoe-er Joe...Congress doesn't have to explain themselves.

Hell, they can simply lie about the deficit and get away with it. Bush just did that without batting an eye:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060915/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_text2_4

"It's been a strong economy. And I strongly believe the reason it is, is because we cut taxes, and at the same time showed fiscal responsibility here in Washington with the people's money."

Fiscal responsibility with the people's money? Are. You. Shitting. Me???

See how easy that was? Just pretend like it doesn't exist and watch those poll numbers rise. Some of the American people really are idiots...

[Skidmore]

10. Too late, Joe. Every vote supporting *'s policies and oppressive

governance will hang around their necks and the weight of them will drag them down. They deserve what they get. It will be remembered.

[Marr]

11. After all this, Scarborough STILL says it would take a

"crazy Democratic chairman" to launch impeachment hearings against GW Bush. He still sees nothing wrong with impeaching a president for a blowjob, but impeaching GW Bush for the crimes Scarborough ADMITS he's committed is beyond the realm of sanity.

[napi21]

12. Sorry Joe! You can't erase 12 years of BS in 50 days!

These AH's have been there creating disasters since 1994! It too LATE!

[annagull]

13. Yep, and Bush will be the star in every campaign commercial

that Democrats will run!

[Disturbed]

16. Busholini's staunchest supporters turning on The

Glorious Leader will look like betrayal. Those Repugs will be viewed as untrustworthy to the Independents and traitors to the RW Cult.
