| Republican Party Situation Dire for 2008 |
Fritzella |
09/26/07 |
"Republican Party is in such bad shape heading into the 2008 congressional elections that many insiders are all but convinced things will get worse before they get better. The blame, some say, lies within the party itself.
Recent reports coming from the National Republican Congressional and Senatorial Committees paint a picture of institutions on the brink of bankruptcy and organizational disrepair. The Republican Party has ceded its traditional fundraising advantages to the Democrats. Recruiting conservative candidates to run for congressional office has proved exceedingly difficult. Even worse, several Republicans officials bemoaned, there is no short-term solutions on the horizon.
"In my lifetime you'd have to go back 30 years to find another time when the party committees were in such dire straits," Craig Shipley, president of the Republican public relations firm Shirley & Banister Public Affairs, told the Huffington Post. "The stimulus in the 70s was that the grassroots became disgusted with the abandonment of conservative principles and corruption of the party. The same thing is happening today. There is just a bad odor in the party right now."......--Sam Stein, Blogging

then again ;if the Republicans gutlessly continue to vote for budget busting ideas like SCHIP then manybe they should be replaced. If they are not for budgetary restraint then where is the difference between them and the Democrats anyway ?
Bush will do the responsible thing and veto it.

I really don't think Iraq will be an issue . The Democrats had a chance in the spring tyo consolidate a position where some waffling Republicans would've jumped at the chance for cover . That is what the Iraq Surrender Group led by Baker /Hamilton provided .
But the Democrats squandered that opportunity by playing the code pinko playbook . Their last best chance was the Petraeus /Crocker report . General P. and Ambassador Crocker blew them away.
Now ;face the facts .... yesterday Tim Russert tried to get the Democrat wannabees to commit to a withdrawal by the end of their term if elected . That would be withdrawal by 2013 . NOT ONE OF THEM WOULD DO SO !!!!! They know that it would be irresponsible to bug out and they know the American people would not stand for it. Only the moveon moonbats are in a tizzy.
