POLITICS - Bush, et al, on a Loser

"Attacking Democrats Over Iraq: Bush and Cheney's Surefire Plan for Political Defeat" by A. Alexander, Progressive Daily Beacon

Well, here we go again! George W. Bush and his history of hiding in the National Guard in order to avoid the draft and Dick Cheney along with his five Vietnam draft deferments, are lecturing Senator Harry Reid and the Democrats on the finer points of true patriotism. What's more, the two Executive Branch Bozos who lied the nation into the Iraq War and then spent four years figuring out how to lose it in the most stunning form of defeat possible, have taken to blaming the same Senator Reid and Democratic Party for losing the war. Isn't this all a bit like Republican Senator Trent Lott and Don Imus lecturing Martin Luther King JR about how best to end racism?

There was probably a time such talk would have enraged and cowed Democrats, but not in today's reality. Makes one wonder what political moron -- Karl Rove -- dreamed up this completely foolish and dangerous attempt at winning a few political points? A recent poll revealed that ever since Mister Bush hopped on his Democratic war-funding bill veto express, his approval rating on Iraq has fallen and the Democrats' numbers went up. Prior to George W. Bush's Karl Rove-inspired "showdown" with the Democrats, 54 percent supported the Democrats' Iraq position. After a couple weeks of Rose Garden and other impromptu press conferences that were designed to pummel the Democrats' stance on Iraq, 58 percent of the American people supported the Democratic position on the war and even more people opposed Bush's. That's a four point increase for the Democrats.

A smart person might think about changing tactics...and then there is George W. Bush. This strategy of attacking Democrats over the Iraq War is a surefire political failure and just like his disastrous Iraq policy, Mister Bush isn't going to let failure get in the way of staying a losing course. By Jiminy, he is on a loser here folks, and he means to see it through to complete political disaster!

....and this is for starters.

Then again, a "complete political disaster" for the GOP may be what we need come 2008. A Bush Insurance Policy for the Democratic Party.
