| at this point, with a sizeable majority of the public realizing that bush sucks, i tend to see the remaining supporters as nothing more than dead enders.. bush's policies are no longer intellectually defensible, so the best they can do is repeat the same tired rhetoric that rove instructs bush to say..
the conservative argument was MUCH stronger before we found out that the wmd's claim was a flat out lie. ever since then, the dead enders have followed bush as he tried to argue that this war was for freedom and all that other pseudo-patriotic bullshit.
they can't really defend bush, since even they know that he's full of shit.. so instead, they try to divert the debate and focus on the democrats' ineptitude to lead the nation. of course, they're a minority party with severely limited power, so it's not like they can really do much to alter his control. any diminishment in bush's (and the GOP's) power is almost completely due to weakening public support for his policies. |
