Whoa--Are Republicans Starting to "Distance" Themselves???

[DemocracyInaction]

Got a minute??

I do have a talent--for decades I've been very good at sensing when the political ground is shifting. Big toe sensed a tremor. It happened today on Capitol Hill.

Already several months ago, political talking heads (aka: Republican media whores)said that by the end of this year things had to look good in Iraq and us starting big withdrawals or the Republicans were in big danger in '06 because the people were really turning against this war (& we have seen that in polls). Today a Congressional committee was, according to the evening news, grilling the hell out of the big brass in Iraq and demanding to know what the hell was going on, etc. (like what are the brass suppose to do about this fucking sewer that was handed to them----turn it into a Disney theme park??).

But something was missing. It wasn't Dems screaming and those "proud to be Amurekan" Repubs defending the brass. The Repubs were going after the brass. Bottom line: they know a few months isn't going to fix this mess--nor a few decades. But because of election season that starts like one short year from now, they are trying to dump it onto the brass instead of on themselves and their "el presidente". It's called dumping the blame and distancing themselves.

Even though our Dems are as guilty as them, they need to do what any good Repub would do--say nothing of our involvement and BLAME IT ALL ON BUSH AND THE REPUBLICANS. The signal is clear. The Repubs want to wash their hands of this stinking mess. It's opportunity time, Dems. Will we take it? Of course not. We never do. Hopefully, come election time the perception in the country will not be that those goddamn, worthless Dems declared war on Iraq while the Christian Repubs begged them not to!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are on the run and things like SS and consumption tax, etc. are going to make it worse. The ball is 100% in our court. If we have the political sense and balls to do something with it, we can build it all the way to the '06 elections. OR we can just sit by and let them extract themselves from the war their criminal leader lied the world into.
