Rubber-Stamp GOP: 'We Never Liked Bush To Begin With'

The Washingon Post reports that President Bush's troubles with congressional Republicans, which erupted during the backlash to the Dubai seaport deal, are rooted in policy frustrations and personal resentments that GOP lawmakers say stretch back to the opening days of the administration.

For years, the Bush White House and its allies on Capitol Hill seemed like one of the most unified teams Washington had ever seen, passing most of Bush's agenda with little dissent. Privately, however, many lawmakers felt underappreciated, ignored and sometimes bullied by what they regarded as a White House intent on running government with little input from them.

Well, if this was the case, why didn't these cowards stand up and do what was best for the country and vote their consciences? I have long complained that many Republicans place the "conservative movement" ahead of America. The fact that these GOP officials no longer want to be rubber stamps in an election year when Bush is horribly unpopular, speaks volumes about their lack of integrity and disloyalty. It is further evidence why we should throw the bums out of office.

Wait 'til the American electorate learns that the democrats not only have no Iraq policy (and that they won't campaign on bringing the troops home because their leaders say they'll lose on that issue) but no coherent policy for anything else...

Anonymous: WOW, the Democratic party has no policy for ANYTHING? Thanks for letting us know! When exactly do you think the American people are going to "find this out"? Will it take as long as it took for them to come to their senses about Un-curious George?
