Once again, the G.O.P. shows their remarkable political courage

For which they're so renowned.


Republicans said a convergence of events - including the protests inspired by the mother of a slain American soldier outside Mr. Bush's ranch in Texas, the missed deadline to draft an Iraqi Constitution and the spike in casualties among reservists - was creating what they said could be a significant and lasting shift in public attitude against the war.

The Republicans described that shift as particularly worrisome, occurring 14 months before the midterm elections. As further evidence, they pointed to a special election in Ohio two weeks ago, where a Democratic marine veteran from Iraq who criticized the invasion decision came close to winning in a district that should have easily produced a Republican victory.

"There is just no enthusiasm for this war," said Representative John J. Duncan Jr., a Tennessee Republican who opposes the war. "Nobody is happy about it. It certainly is not going to help Republican candidates, I can tell you that much."-NY Times


Oh! What a shame. Your nasty little president's incompetence is going to make it harder for you lot to keep lining up at the trough. Boo hoo. Let's throw a little pity party for you.

Tens of thousands of people, American and Iraqi, are dead, you assholes.
That's more important than your goddamn re-election. Don't think I've forgotten that 99% of our "Democratic" representatives laid down on this one...but let's have some respect for that.

I swear to you, there are times when I think I would vote for the first politician who gets on televison and says "I was wrong, Howard Dean and the protesters were right."
