So what's next for the GOP?

Edited on Sat Feb-17-07 05:40 PM by BlueStater

Only seven senators had the courage to oppose Herr Shrub. Does that mean the others are going to vote for the surge?

I don't understand it. Polls show that the majority of Americans are opposed to any sort of escalation. Do the Republicans WANT to get theirs asses kicked in 2008?

1. Live by the Bush, die by the Bush

Their agenda is taxcuts and ripping off the government. Once Bush is out, they know the true extent of the damage will become apparent. Too late to change now....hide behind Bush, religion, and patriotism...the last refuges for these scoundrals.

3. well i'd be interested to hear what their constituents say to them when they get home

some times they get a recalibration right in their own back, sometimes they listen and sometimes they don't.

6. i don't know many state constitutions allow for that.

I think it would be great to see that happen, clearly the public is way ahead of the politicians on the war and it's about friggin time they remember who they work for.

5. Maybe they "know" something we don't.

Of course I wish not (moi not a moran freeper), but maybe the criminal crackpots at the (former?) PNAC will dream of, write about, and MIHOP another "new Pearl Harbor" (they might better call-and write-it a "new September eleven") now?

Who knows what else they intend to do (even if we all know for them to MIHOP won't work).

How come R they not all behind bars yet?

7. They need to stay in lock-step

Allegiance to their party trumps allegiance to their country.

12. The fetid stench of rot

Stuffed gourged and fooled on the back of their enemies,
the rotters hide in their fleece of deniable incompetence,
laughing in their caves, on their golden toilets,
dishing it out like only a republican can.
