Conservatives scrambling for the lifeboats

Now they don't want to go down with Bush's sinking poll numbers. And they don't care if they leave the rest of America, particularly the middle class and lower income residents in steerage, to drown for their conservative sins

Take a look at Digby's post again at who they describe as "liberals" who are to blame for this disaster.

That's why I wrote in Driving a stake through the heart of a monster that we cannot let conservatives escape the blame of the Bush administration, that the Republicans steered us on this doomed voyage. On that occasion it was Bill Kristol trying to distance himself from Bush.

Now you see conservative emailers doing the same with Kristol.

We cannot let them slip away like the rats they are and lay the blame at the feet of just a handful of their leaders.

What I wrote of Kristol holds true for them too.


Kristol is like the conspirator in a murder case: "Sure I drove Bush to the house, gave him the gun, advised him what to do, but I'm not responsible for the crime."

The same is true of every Republican, conservative and neo-conservative that ever supported Bush.

They've got blood on their hands, and no amount of trying to wash the taint of Bush away is going to cleanse them of their shared guilt.

Bush gave them what they wanted and if they don't like it, they should renounce their party and their ideology and seek forgiveness and to undo the damage they have done to their country and the world.

It's great fun to watch conservatives desperate and out for blood with each other, but if we let them off the sinking ship of the Bush administration, they'll resurface in 2008 to take the helm once more like drunken sailors with no sense of responsibility or remorse.

That's why at every opportunity either in supermarket lines or Sunday school chats or letters to the editor, we must reinforce that it is not just George W. Bush and his crew of scalawags that are to blame, but the conservative policies they endorsed and touted.

Only by steering to the left can we get the ship of state back on a safe course.

and the deaths they caused are too many to count. 911 happened because of the mediawhores and their gopig associates. it is not business as usual. bush has committed war crimes, and has tried to implicate the american people in his deeds-which the pigmedia abetted.

gets off the hook for pushing bush on us.

They should take all the blame that goes with him.

BTW, here's what digby was talking about.

They are *NeoCONS*, Republicans! How can they be liberal when they have tried so hard to destroy Democrats? Geez, these guys will *never* take responsibility.

Ineteresting that they use the term "neo-Jacobin". That was the title of this article by Paul Craig Roberts.

And the people he described are NOT liberal by ANY stretch of the imagination.

the reality of the GOP's horrific ways.

Make the elected officials pay for every vote, and the "pundits" pay for every word.

I had to chuckle.

By that, I mean the famous RNC "blast faxes" that tell them their talking point for the day.

My God! They'll all start sounding.... different!

He's not usually singing Ray-Gun's praises while his boy's in trouble.

I've noticed that they turn to St. Ronnie when Chimpy does something they don't like.

Sorry Republicans, but you can't escape the fact that you allowed Bush to do the awful things he has done. Your party enthusiastically nominated him to be President in 2000, & you have dominated Congress. How could Democrats be to blame? We have had no real power since Bush came along. You made your bed, now lie in it. I cannot sympathize with the brain-dead morons who have ruined my country.

See, they ARE ONE IN THE SAME. Vote Democratic in November!
