IMPEACH BUSH



IMPEACH CHENEY


SLIME BY ANY OTHER NAME

Republicans are worried they are going to get clobbered in the November elections. Why would that possibly happen? We're mired in a war that is bleeding us dry and killing thousands upon thousands of innocent people. What's more, it isn't doing anything to negate the threat of terrorism. The economy is worse than even the usual Republican economy. We see no action from Republicans to address the very real threat of global warming. What we get are the usual tactics of more tax cuts for the wealthy, nothing to protect the working class, and bigotry everywhere--against gays, against immigrants, against racial minorities. Talk now is that the party has to "reinvent" itself. Whitewashed graves are still graves. This article by Tom Hamburger and Peter Wallsten is at www.latimes.com:


The bad news has come from Illinois, Louisiana and Mississippi -- a string of unexpected Republican defeats in congressional elections that have prompted GOP leaders to say, with candor unusual in politics, that the party is facing an outright catastrophe this November.

Increasingly, top Republicans are calling on their party to reinvent itself or risk driving away more voters and donors. The GOP image is so stale, said Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (R-Va.), in a memo to colleagues last week, that "if we were a dog food, they would take us off the shelf" because nobody is buying it.
