HEADLINE: Bush losing political allies amid WAVE of crises
WASHINGTON - With every unfolding crisis, President Bush is finding fewer allies in his corner. Republicans are ever more nervous about the Iraq war, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' problems,
FBI abuses of the Patriot Act and the botched treatment of war wounded at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

As Bush and congressional Democrats clashed on Tuesday over the Gonzales matter, even the Republicans still standing with the president on Iraq were having a hard time supporting him on domestic measures, reluctant to take stands that could be used against them politically. In fact, supporting the president on Iraq may be making it easier for them to oppose him on other measures unpopular with their constituents.

"I think Republicans are in a very awkward position of having to defend a number of indefensible acts," said GOP strategist Scott Reed. "It's causing them to move into the every-man-for-himself mode."

5. I don't want to play this game anymore, Daddy! It's HARD work!
How any idiot could stand by this bunch now is beyond belief! They have gotten away w/so much crap for so long, they think it's just going to be business as usual for them. This proves how thick-headed they are.

May reality strike soon & hard! :dem:
