The president has left his party in a precarious state. But the GOP candidates running in the wake of his wreckage can learn much from his failures.

Uhh,Thomas. Your Democrat ''fundemental advantage''is being squandered after almost two years after total inertia in a Congress under their control,due precisely to a lack of ''critical open-mindedness''. Get with it man. Pelosi is running the House like a fiefdom,and is now out-Republicing the Republicans in her Manichaean,shall we say,perogative.
In the new day,we find that the most ''stubborn truth''is that there was never to be a ''new era'' or a ''most ethical congress'' to begin with. We were swindled,again. Should we couple this now so ineffective[and corrupt] congress with a leader of their party in the Oval Office,we will simply get More Of The Same. This proof will display[is already in fact], that Americans will not labour under the ''Shadow''of Bush,but the Shadow,of Politics,under the Sun of the Soundbite. Will you do your damned job then I wonder Thomas? Or will you wax eloquent on steeplechasing or underwater basketweaving while a nation groans under the weight of the Next Big Manichaean Thing? I for one,will not be holding my breath.
Have you seen the latest? I continue to be amazed by the Bush-Cheney-Rove Republican nerve and tactics. I couldn???t believe that they now had the nerve to use the term ???arrogant??? and try to stick that label on Obama. They constantly demonstrate tactics that are based on the often used Rove principal that it doesn???t have to be logical, it doesn???t have to be real, it doesn???t even have to be honest, just stick with it, be aggressive, be loud, be bold and say it over and over again. If you consider Obama reserve, professional and serious that is fine ??? but if you want a picture of ???arrogance??? then look at Bush .. or Cheney .. or Rove .. or even Delay or Frist; they all have a career based on it. How many times have we seen them boldly and arrogantly practically thumbing their noses at everyone as they do whatever they want and tell the world to take it or leave it. The image comes to mind of Bush strutting instead of walking, smirking instead of smiling, starring down criticism instead of answering and shrugging as he says whatever he wants without really addressing anything and turns his back to strut away, as if to say, ???hey, I???m entitled???. It simply doesn???t get anymore arrogant than that.
yup...arrogant! Obama seems to want Obama Bucks printed of him!
When a conservetiv faces down discrimination, Liberals want him to apologies! Liberals are not to be openly or publicly corrected. Or so Liberals believe.
Get used to it!
Strut,Smirk,Star down,Shrug?
How about Drags 'is knuckles? Snorts? Star into space?Grunt 'n slap 'is forehead?
What happened to "content of ones speeech?"
(What Liberals can pick up on to hate is amazing!)
Don't spend any Obama Bucks, though. It's a figure of speech and means "shop lifting," now.
This story is ridiculous. GOP moderates who cave in and compromise are the problem within the GOP. This story is some liberal's wish list of what-is-wrong with the GOP.... but it is fantasy ! This is what liberals who have succumbed to the drum beat of Americans-Suck-First would feel good about, because if true the situation is hopeless for the Republican Party.
But it is the DNC and Liberal marching banner that is not true.
America is a great country and most other countrys, societys and culters suck! Some worse! some not so bad!
The moderates within the GOP cave in and compromise and don't stand up to the many discrimination campaigns it requires to create the americans Suck First illusion. The GOP moderates forget most americans think discrimination campaigns suck and theres political momentum in standing against the lies, dis-information and slander. Moderates would rather COMPROMISE to the lies... then wonder why the voters sort of... left them.
The GOP needs a crash course in countering the the DNCs' Americans Suck First campaign, and the 5 or so ugly discrimination campaigns it is composed of! It is the Americans Suck First campaign that is unraveling .The only question is , how fast!
you can't even write these folks to tell them what you think. their like my congressman and his "townhall" scripted meetings. lets not have an intelligent question!
THE REAL FAILURE: THE 4TH ESTATE the emperor has no clothes
THE REAL FAILURE: THE 4TH ESTATE . The lure of money have made them hollywood. they do not inform. lift up, enlighten. They prey on fear.
70% of American believe neither Presidential candidate addresses their issues, where is the Press? Cozy. Supporting an ideology but not asking drad questions of both parties> like below
Where is the critique on the Democrats? did they not hold the congress for the past two years?
Why are there NO viable third and 4th parties in this country? Even a Billionaire can not start one... the LAWS prevent it!!!!
WE LIVE IN AN OLIGARCHY! THIS IS NOT A DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC! in places live Canada third parties do provide competition, renewal, and opportunity. In the USA is ossified
I think the whole problem with the Bush-Cheney regime is that they didn't leave their boots and hats at the door. One big bad 8-year-long rodeo. Ranch, lasso, horse, posse, scout, detail, ride. Yep! I think we've had it all.
I believe the patriotic course is to impeach Bush and Cheney for high crimes against the people of this country. They intentionally misled us into an entirely unnecessary, hugely wasteful and tragic war, throwing away the lives of 4,000 of our honorable soldiers. When will we stand up and tell Bush that enough is enough? When will we summon the courage of the founding fathers and tell Cheney that when you violate the constitution our country is founded upon, there are consequences?
You're right chiefnugt, but the Dems are busy bickering among themselves! Imagine! 2yrs before the pres election, the campaign already has started. Who started it? Your guess is as good as mine the Dems. So instead of impeaching and getting Bush out, they used him as their whipping boy.
Bush Younger got his revenge for Bush Older and was able to sleep soundly while Saddam went to sleep forever.
But revenge proved to be not a good virtue. It's again "the economy stupid", and the same last name will clean up the mess of another known last name for that famous quotation.
I agree w/ chiefnugt. But the DEMs are busy bickering among themselves. 2 yrs before the pres election the campaigning started. Who started it, your guess as good as mine the DEMs. Instead of impeaching and getting Bush out, the're using him as their whipping boy.
The GOPs have Nixon in the 20th century and now Bush for the 21st century! Nixon was better because nobody died and for Bush, I don't need to mention it. But both were LIARS AND DESERVED IMPEACHMENT.
I believe the most patriotic thing to do is to impeach Bush and Cheney for high crimes against the people of this country. It's not just that I don't like them - it's that they intentionally misled us into an unnecessary, hugely expensive and tragic war, causing the loss of 4,000 of our courageous soldiers. If Bush and Cheney had 1/100th of the honor and patriotism our soldiers do, they'd resign. But they don't, so their reign of terror over this country continues. When will we find the nerve to stand up to these two rogues, and tell them we won't stand for anyone trampling on the constitution?
You're right! but the Dems are bickering among themselves. The GOPs, what do you expect, history repeats itself. 20th century they got Nixon, 21st century they got Bush. But it was at home, nobody died, and was cheaper w/ Nixon. For Bush, it was half way around the world, some are dying, and he's spending money this country don't have.
Imagine this, US' GNP is $14 trillion, debt is $9 trillion. A credit card company won't even lend our gov't.
Sole aim of Bush Jr was to take revenge on Saddam Hussein for his attempt to assasinate Bush SR.
Bush 2000 win was rigged. Narrow win like rising dictator Kibaki of Kenya.
I agree with this person, eddiewhere, we need to get back to our roots, the Constitution.
if you do not agree with the Constitution, then you are communists and you should move there,
When people fear their Government it is called tyranny, When Government fears the people it is called FREEDOM.
WAKE UP AMERICA.
Yesterday, eartlink.net submitted an article on a study conducted by Center for Public Integrity.
This organization ???counted 935 false statements in the two-year period. It found that in speeches, briefings, interviews and other venues, Bush and administration officials stated unequivocally on at least 532 occasions that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or was trying to produce or obtain them or had links to al-Qaida or both.???
Aren???t there laws forbidding citizens from lying to Congress? Didn???t the Republicans launch an impeachment against Bill Clinton for ???lying??? about some sleazy two-bit affair? Bush and his entire Administration either need to be impeached or tried for war crimes. Maybe we should send the whole crew to the Hague. Yet not one Republican has spoken up about this. Every Republican is guilty of collaborating in these heinous crimes and the first step in cleaning up the mess in Iraq is cleaning up our own house. We need impeachment proceedings immediately. And we need to sweep every Republican out of office.
P.S. Why didn???t Newsweek cover this report?
Proof why you can't call Republicans fascists above.
And to answer your question, Newsweek probably didn't cover the story becuase you cannot prove Saddam wasn't aiding terrorists or if Iraq had WMDs. There are parts of Iraq we have not yet searched and the possibility that they were smuggled into Iran or Syria is soem what high. Just because we didn't dind any doesn't mean they are not there or were not there. Before you try to wipe out your opposition like a dictatorship, make sure you are completly sure. Oh and learn what the heck a Republican is and what they stand for you ignorant, intolerant, unindependent fool.
T9900's??ou cannot prove" is an odd comment.
The way things work is that people who make accusations are those responsible for proving them.
But according to T9900, no matter how wild the comment is, it's somebody else's job to proive that it's wrong. No need to justify it with fact.
Nobody every proved that Saddam Hussein wasn't a stamp collector, either, but this doesn't mean he was one.
If T9900 has any point to make, it's that the full power of the United States, military, intelligence, all other resources, was not competent to establish whether the Bush accusations were right or wrong. That to practical effect means they were wrong.
t9900:
Gee Whillikers. If you believe there are WMDs hidden somewhere in Iraq, aren't you worried? If the U.S. has stopped looking for them, who might find them? If you think Saddam was tight with al Q'aeda, might he not have passed on the locations? Scary thoughts.
Bush is a character straight out of Conrad. From "The Secret Sharer": from Conrad's The Secret Sharer:
"I wondered how far I should turn out faithful to that ideal conception of one's own personality every man sets up for himself secretly."
We're all heroes in our own stories. Sadly, external realities are rarely able to puncture the delusion.
"Our country is too large to have all its affairs directed by a single government. Public servants at such a distance, and from under the eye of their constituents, must, from the circumstance of distance, be unable to administer and overlook all the details necessary for the good government of the citizens; and the same circumstance, by rendering detection impossible to their constituents, will invite public agents to corruption, plunder and waste." --Thomas Jefferson to Gideon Granger, 1800. ME 10:167
"I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground: That "all powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States or to the people." [X Amendment] To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specifically drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition." --Thomas Jefferson: National Bank Opinion, 1791. ME 3:146
We have been fooled by our own government and there is no way any Republican is going to win this election. THE Middle class has had it with all this Bin LADEN terrorist crap. WE are now scared of our own government more than we are of the terrorist because the decisions this government is making on our behalf is not in our best interests and it is killing us. The government is now dominating our civil liberties. They are giving the states millions for Real ID Cards. This is just the start of government intrusion. Combine this with the misuse of the Patriot Act and the future Plans of insurance comPanies and corporations to have full access to our personal records and we have a real crisis.
Credit Card companies have already started selling and sharing our personal information with the private sector. We really have to wake up and protect our constitution it is all we have to defend ourselves against interests that become too rich and powerful in this country. The government keeps expanding and is being predominantly controlled by special interest and lobbyist. The middle class is being weakened and our civil liberties are being threatened. Real ID Cards will not make "us safer" infacat terrorists can obtain fake ones and move about freely. The American people did not vote on Real ID Cards, we need a vote. Our constitution would have to be ammended in order for Real ID's to become legal. I do not know what has happened in Washington but it is getting out of hand. They know what they are doing is unconstitutional so they are trying to bribe the states by offering them money. I hope every state agrees with me and Prevents the federal govenment from imPosing and unconstitutional law. If the states allow the government to do this then they would have set a bad Precedent that could lead to further government violations.
Bush is stupid. If he were a smart man, Iraq would have been won, pacified and peaceful by now. If Bush were a good leader, the American people would have been united by now to achieve the common good of the entire country, America would be more respected, the American economy would have been more robust and able to compete, the value of the dollar would be higher or at least on par with the euro. Bush is stupid and a disgrace to America
No, no matter who would be President, Iraq would not have been pacified and peaceful yet. When you try to stabalize a country full of people who want to kill themselves and as many of us as possible, excpect to be in that country a long time.
