Every once in a while I have to remind myself that Bush* should be only a sideshow to our real agenda. Our real agenda should and must be to beat the Neocon agenda and defeat any Neocon who supports it as they run for Congress. That of course is a collorary to the other favorable agenda of regaining control of one or both houses.
Bush being "in trouble" is important only in the following regards:
1. If he is weakened, he will have no coattails to drag other Republicans into office.
2. If he is weakened, Congressional Republicans will be more likely to abandon or fight his legislative agenda as opposed to marching lock-step with his demands.
3. If he is weakened, there will be a lot of in-fighting and fracturing of the party which may break up the so-called "solid south".
Remember that GWB is a lame, lame duck. We'll never actually have to defeat him again and he'll never run for another political office again. (as a side note: his screwing up in New Orleans probably torpedoed any chance he ever had of becoming the Commissioner of Baseball. Just think if he did for baseball what he did for New Orleans? Or Iraq?) Focusing all our attention on GWB is a wasteful enterprise...we need to expend our resources (people and money) as efficiently as possible to defeat the Neocon Scourage.
Unless impeachment becomes a REAL possibility I suggest we start treating Bush dismissively and move on to defeating the Neocons.
jmho.
