More Republicans speaking out |
|
against Bush. Yesterday I was on my way to my grandparents for my cousin's wedding today and in the car my Dad wanted to listen to talk radio so that was on and there was my congressman republican Zach Wamp speaking out against the new bill they passed. He basically was saying that the bill was way too rushed and was more for political gain then anything. And this other guy came on after (not sure who he was) and said we all have the right to our privacy. So it seems one by one people are getting annoyed with BushCo.

1. Yes, and I don't really care why! |
|
Some are getting annoyed with him for reasons I don't agree with, but I really don't care why, as long as they all turn against him!

Bush isn't a man who tolerates dissent, especially from Republicans.
He ignores us and shuts us out, but Republican 'turncoats' are likely to get quickly punished.
It's now or never -- or actually, 6 weeks ago or never -- if they wanted to speak up and have it matter.

4. Yes, and when push comes to shove, they'll vote just like Chimpy wants |
|
Pardon my cynicism, but I will believe that intraparty opposition to Bush exists when he is either A) overriden or B) loses on a major spending and/or tax bill.
Until that time, I am operating on the assumption that this is all political kabuki designed to keep us busy and saying "Ooh! Look! Dissension in the ranks! Ooh!"

They'll probably be pressered and cave in. I just thought it was nice that a well-respected republican around my area is speaking out against Bush. :D

Most Rethugs band together and dismiss their principles.

But I wouldn't put too much stock in them. A couple of cracks in the plaster doesn't mean that the roof's falling in anytime soon.
Oh, btw, is your handle "Utah Democrat" or "University of Texas Democrat"? :hi:

6. I've noticed a lot of (bashing) recently |
|
Not particularly against Bush as much as against Rumsfeld. But they are joined at the ass. And I've also heard some unkind things about the administration in general.
Unkind things. Better than normal, where he is praised to the heavens for every fart he expells.

10. The Moderate Republican people and politicians are catching on |
|
to the fact that their party has been hijacked. Moderate politicians were stunned to find out that they're being shut out of discussions and just expected to follow suite. Kind of like what we found out about the DLC. I feel sorry for decent Republicans because it's a painful realization.

got a bushie buddy who now has buyer's regret. He voted for bush on economic/small government (not faith based) grounds. He now realizes that he is the unwelcome part of the coalition.
I told the dumbass not to vote for bush, but he didnt listen; bad showing for a polisci major :-(

13. I just hope a few gain the integrity |
|
to investigate or impeach Bush when they can no longer live in denial about his fraudulent actions.
I used to go to UTK, did you?
