Embarrassment? The Gop wants to spare Bush Embarrassment?
Let me get this straight.

Does it make any sense at all? Does it make sense that a president goes into war over allegations that were completely false, has ended up in the deaths of 600,000 + and ended up as a complete failure, and yet HE deserves to be spared the embarrassment?

How cowardly is the GOP?

1. As cowardly as the Nazis, no less and no more
In many ways, our Congress IS the Reichstag.

It would not surprise me that Party Members would "protect" De Fuehrers image with the blood of the murdered.

This is standard practice for these people dating far back in history back to when Bushevism was called Monarchy.

2. It is always about Bush isn't it? About his needs, wants, feelings.
Nobody else's seem to count.

6. Too late for that.
How about trying to spare the rest of our nation and the people of Iraq and Iran from any more deaths? They are so disconnected from this war I don't suppose that has crossed their little reptile minds.

7. It isn't Bush's embarrassment they are trying to spare
It is their own. And the United States embarrassment.
However, the high road would be to accept and acknowledge the abysmmal failure and the treasonous act that the president sent the nation to war under false pretenses.

A wise man once said that the United States always does the right thing.....after exhausting all other possibilities.

11. When asked if he would rescind the tax cuts for the top one percent, Bush said
that he wouldn't ask them for that kind of sacrifice ...

:puke:

Gee, he has no trouble asking the middle-class and the poor to sacrifice their lives for Halliburton's and the oil company profits ...

13. The Death Dances Of The Conflicted
Sucks to be a repugnican these days...what's a hyopcrite to do?

These morons became push buttons of the booosh cabal and now that it's a liability, they are trying to back away and pretend that nothing ever happened. That they squandered their majorities for short-term power fixes that now they're being held accountable for...and they don't want nor know how to deal with responsibility. The decades of rhetoric has proved wrong and the party has become so conflicted it can't turn without pissing off one base or another now.

Damn right they want to be spared emabarassment, cause they know what's coming. It's been a rough year for these goons and the reality of the destruction of the boosh regime has gotten so great that they somehow want us to forget how big of toadies they were for this regime when it was "popular" and now they're just starting to see how deep a hole they've dug themselves into and need someone to blame.

Many Repugnicans in the House & Senate have leaky stomaches these days. They're wedged between the wingnuts on their right who they still have to pander to for the campaign bucks and the majority who are getting more and more pissed off and will make their 2008 a living hell.
