The Repubs are falling apart right before our eyes....

[kentuck]

They are panicking like I have never seen before. Their eyes are bulging and there doesn't seem to be any "oxygen in the room". They see a train wreck coming fast. They feel the ground vibrating under their feet. They hear that long lonesome whistle calling their names. There is no one else to blame. They stand alone and they are fearful. They are desperate, like a mad dog backed into a corner. It's coming around folks and they know it.

2. I'll believe it when it happens.

There have been too many things that have happened in this administration which would have taken down any other president.

I hold out very little hope that anything will ever stick to them.

[Nite Owl]

6. But this time he wants

congress to hang out there with him on some very unpopular things like Social Security, ANWR, the budget cuts. They don't want to lose their jobs. Those tax cuts and patriotic votes were easy these votes they are hearing about at home. Just trying to be hopeful.

[liberalitch]

14. That's what I hope for....

these people can't expect to keep their jobs when their constituencies get a taste of the real W

[MoonRiver]

15. Why should they care? The powers that be control the voting machines.

Even if 60% of the Repub constituency were to bolt, the "polls" and "voting" results would never reveal this fact. Oh, and don't count on our "free press" to enlighten anyone. I think the only hope we have is to target all areas without computerized voting machines. We also need to be pumping mega bucks into throwing out Repubs in the Northeast. There's enough of them to possibly give us back the Senate, especially if we can grab a few other seats in the Northwest and maybe Midwest.

[liberalitch]

17. I often wonder if after 2004....

the divisions between blue and red states will be enough to eliminate all or most of the Congressional seats held by Republicans in blue states

18. Please, God(dess)

I'll be good, I promise! O8)

3. It is starting to turn but will it be fast enough?

4. Isn't Nice To See The Republican Cockroaches Ingest Some Of Their

Own pesticide.

Tom "The Bug Man" Delay is a most effective terminator!

[whistle]

5. Bush is most certainly falling apart.....

...the shadow government is repositioning and when they believe they have a proper replacement, Dudya will be gone.

[Joe Chi Minh]

7. you have a great style, Kentuck.

Great, not to say hilarious imagery, but I'll bet it's right on.

[kentuck]

8. Thanks KCDMarxIII...

:) Yes, I tend to exaggerate their expressions and their whinings but we must attempt to make them sweat every way we know how... So I 'm just trying to hold their heads under the water just a little bit longer.....'til the SOBs beg for oxygen.

[fob]

9. I sure hope so. I caught Rollerball on the teevee last night and it's

like the script was used for the neo-con playbook. Much scarier than when I was a kid and thought it was just a cool "sci-fi new wave sports flick set in the future" movie. Watch it if you get a chance it is exactly the kind of "society" these fucks are trying to set up, only it appears easier to put to film than to make a reality, so far anyways.

10. The boss always has a manager to fire or hide behind

When the stock holders start bitching the boss gets fired,lets hope the people who backed this ignorant buisiness plan start seeing that it has back fired.
Someday the Bushkins will have thier reserved parking spaces
removed the the executive parking lot.

[seabeyond]

11. huh i am hearing because bush is so stupid, he has saved the

wrld and the whole middle east is on its way to democracy and individual rights, see what a god he is, right up there with lincoln.

lol lol

and standing next to corrupt bug guy delay saying how grand he is

and saying, come on all just get to know paul, really he is a nice guy

doesnt look like they are peeing their pants to me

[Goldmund]

12. If I only had a dime...

[KoKo]

16. Well...that's my fantasy after seeing Bush's near "Panic Attack" live

and unedited. :D or :scared:

[Snivi Yllom]

19. Panic? Falling apart?

I say its the other way around, when 3 Democratic Senators just voted to keep the ANWR drilling provisions in the budget.

Fuckity fuck fuck....

[kentuck]

20. But it was the way they handle the rules....

that indicates desperation...

[Imajika]

21. If they are falling apart...

...how is it that they keep winning?

So far this year alone the Republicans in Congress have passed or are about to pass legislation that had been stalled for years - Bankruptcy Reform, Tort Reform, now drilling in the ANWR? And that is just for starters. Additionally, they are likely to use the nuclear option and end any ability we have to stop the far most extreme rightwing judicial nominations - and they will get away with it too.

Bush seems to be getting just about everything he wants as well. Sure, he appears bogged down on the Social Security issue, but he is pretty much getting almost everything else his way. I am beginning to think the Social Security issue was just a smoke screen anyway. Look at all the stuff they are sneaking under the radar while everyone focuses on "private accounts".

I dunno, if the Republicans are having this much success and it is considered "falling apart right before our eyes", I'd hate to see what happens when things are going well for them.

I wish we were falling apart like they are, maybe we'd get a victory now and again instead of losing on all of these critical issues.

24. WHY didn't one of reporters mention Bankruptcy Reform

when they had a chance to ask Bush about it today? They asked about Social Security, Iraq, Gay Marriage...etc... but not Benkruptcy Reform. One reporter even asked Bush about if the government was controlling the media and if it was ethnic practice...

[Snivi Yllom]

25. Exactly, I want to lose like they are losing.

They have their shit toghether, time to suck it up and get back in the game.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

22. They have gotten everything they wanted so far!

:wtf: are you talking about?

[iconoclastNYC]

23. All the shilling for Bush in the media reveals his weakness

The press does risk loosing credibility by having to shill so much for Bush. Trust me the RNC would much rather not have to be so blatent at using the press to pump up Bushs' approval. The White House PR operation is having to innovate out of neccesity: armstrong, gannon.

And this is good news because by being so blatent about it, they are setting off the American people's bullshit detectors. People are slowly waking up and seeing that the press is feeding the American People nothing but propoganda.

It is up to the left to steer them to better outlets for news and oppinion, and i think this is happening too.

I wish there was a metric that shows a composite of left wing media reader/viewership.

[rniel]

26. NO

I think their next move is to take all of Californias electoral votes illegally of course and they can become a permanent majority. Then public opion won't matter anymore.
