Bush has so destroyed the party's standing (NYT Magazine article)

Tom Davis Gives Up

For Republicans like Davis, these are gloomy times. While John McCain’s pick of Sarah Palin as his running mate energized the party after a long stretch of depressing developments, the most optimistic Republican strategists still expect further losses in Congress even if McCain wins the White House.

The way Davis sees it, the system has become dysfunctional. Bush has so destroyed the party’s public standing and Congress has become so infected with a win-at-all-costs mentality that there is no point in staying. “You know, the Cubs fans used to put the bags over their heads,” he told me when we met for eggs at Mickey’s Dining Car in St. Paul the first morning of the Republican National Convention. “That’s what I feel when you say you’re from Congress, because there are just so many things we’re not doing.”

After all the lives the Rethugs messed up or destroyed.

Karma, baby.

become conservative Democrats, instead of allowing the far right-wingers in their party to chase them out of politics. It would cause the far-righties to sit up and take notice and maybe change their agenda.
