Bush Leaves GOP in Crisis - Pat Buchanan

[ksoze]

A scathing summary by Pat Buchanan

"With the rout of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's initiatives, Democratic victories in New Jersey and Virginia, and President Bush’s free fall in national polls on job performance, credibility and character, the Republican Party is in imminent peril of losing the country.

Indeed, since 9/11, the party has indulged in a willful self-delusion that it has become America’s Party. The Bush triumph in 2004, talking heads brayed, settled the matter: Red State America has triumphed over Blue State America. The future belongs to us."

"Thus, in March, 2003, Bush, in perhaps the greatest strategic blunder in U.S. history, invaded an Arab nation that had not attacked us, did not want war with us, and did not threaten us—to strip it of weapons we now know it did not have.'

Ouch!

1. The republican party has

already lost the Country, pat..it's now up to the Democrats to make it a Country we can be proud of again.

[melody]

2. an absolute self-delusion

America's party? Are they nuts? Even with election thievery, they still barely squeaked out a win.

[tatertop]

5. Pat would agree with you

[tatertop]

6. What is he referring to here:

"Under Bush II, social spending has exploded to levels LBJ might envy"

What social spending is he talking about?
Faith-based spending?

[eShirl]

12. probably that big giveaway to prescription drug companies

also known as medicare prescription coverage

[melody]

13. anything relatively humane = "social spending" to the right n/t

[melody]

14. I don't see Pat agreeing with me about much of anything

The only thing I will say for PB is that I think he primarily puts the average American first over the corporate titans, and he also honestly speaks his mind.

When Buchanan is the voice of moderation in the GOP, it is in serious trouble.

[tatertop]

20. He thinks the pukes miscalculated, overreached

He agrees with you. Pat is no dumb shit.
The man is smart.

[DemoTex]

11. But .. but? What about Bu$h's mandate?

What about those boxcar loads of political capital? Truly self-delusional. The epitome of self-delusional.


William Bennett, poster-boy for the morally bankrupt GOP!

[Lasher]

3. There was no stragegic blunder

It was a pack of deliberate lies to support their dreams of world conquest.

[TheCowsCameHome]

4. Heh, heh. Even a hard right winger can see the handwriting

on the wall.

Too late, Pat. The ship left the dock.

[serryjw]

7. Everyone needs a copy of this to campaign with in 2006

No one can accuse Pat of being a liberal

[Cha]

8. This is so scathing..

"Under Bush I, taxes were raised, funding for HUD and Education exploded, and a quota bill was signed under which small businesses, accused of racial discrimination, were made to prove their innocence, or be punished, in true Soviet fashion.

Under Bush II, social spending has exploded to levels LBJ might envy, foreign aid has been doubled, pork-at-every-meal has become the GOP diet of choice, surpluses have vanished, and the deficit is soaring back toward 5% of GDP. Bill Clinton is starting to look like Barry Goldwater."

[EFerrari]

9. Yikes!

And so very true.

Jesus, I'm agreeing with Pat Buchanan. :scared:

[Nay]

16. "Bill Clinton is starting to look like Barry Goldwater." Well, I've

always said Clinton was the best Republican president we've had in 30 years. Now PB agrees with me. The rest of these so-called Republicans are wild-eyed right wing trash.

[LittleClarkie]

10. He sure does talk pretty sometimes, doesn't he

Too bad he voted for the Chimp.

[Mme. Defarge]

15. Funny how these folks

never mention TR!

"When Ronald Reagan went home to California, his heirs said, “Goodbye to all that,” and embraced Big Government conservatism, then neoconservatism. If they do not find their way home soon, to the principles of Taft, Goldwater and Reagan, they will perish in the wildness into which they have led us all."

[Vogon_Glory]

17. TR Is A Republican Non-Person

Theodore Roosevelt is a modern-day Republican non-person. While today's GOPsters want to remember the Panama Canal and TR's Great White Fleet, they want to ignore his commitment to conservation, trust-busting and his Square Deal.

[texpatriot2004]

18. "Scathing summary" by Pat Buchanan...I agree with him, wierd

Go Pat.

[Blaze Diem]

19. the greatest strategic blunder in U.S. history..HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

yep, that's there's a Dubya sized legacy.

Sure proud to be a Bush Supporter...NOT! haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa


I find myself smiling a lot more these days..a genuine contentment for the possibilities of our planet..is it really that old feeling of "hope"?
Haven't known that feeling in my heart since the Clinton days...
Lots of healing will come from the demise of Dubya.

Blessed are the True Peacemakers

George is almost over.

Thanks
