The Repuke dilemma--Bush has made them all richer--but party destroyed
Are there enough super rich and kool-aid drinkers to be a national party? 2008 will be a nightmare because Dimson wouldn't take the political cover of ISG.

1. That's OK. There's another party where that one came from.
:shrug: Hasn't anyone noticed how labor and the poor are shut out?

I have.

2. IMHO ...
... GOP = DOA.

They have supported a president who is now more unpopular than a case of the clap, a war that proves more unwinnable with every passing day, tax-cuts for billionaires and tax subsidies for Big Oil (EVERYONE'S favourite charity to be sure), along with a national debt that will inevitably be paid off by the working middle-class.

Combine that with our nation's loss of international prestige, unemployment and outsourcing of jobs, an infrastructure teetering on collapse, and the fact that billions have been spent on Iraq with nothing to show for it.

Throw in a pinch of bitter spices -- the Bankruptcy Bill, the destruction of NOLA, over 3,000 US casualties in Iraq (and climbing), and an administration that has repeatedly given the populace the finger.

The chances of a GOPer being elected to any office higher than schoolyard monitor in 2008 -- and beyond -- are nil, zero, nada.

My personal reaction to the current plight of the GOP: LOL!

6. Have to agree. Everybody is turning on them. I just can't believe that not one of these
mourning parents accepting a medal from him don't tell him to "stick it" on live TV.

3. Bush thinks about Bush and the party be damned. Too bad the hard core
hasn't figured that one out.

4. they try to concentrate executive branch power
because it will be easier to steal one election than all the congressional races. So even if the party is toast they still have a shot.

5. They deserve a "shot" I could get behind that for sure!
right through a critical organ is best.
