karl rove ran the gop into the ground by alienating independent voters thus making the gop the minority party. karl rove will go down with george w bush as the worst political disaster of all time in this country topping nixon, even.

let’s hope bush and other gop leaders continue to lean on rove…it’d create a certain, permanent democratic majority, a complete 180 from what he expected. once again, the gop suffered from delusions of grandeur and it hurt them dearly and will haunt them for a decade.

As pointed out above, two Democrats are primarily to blame for the abysmal response to Katrina.

The economy is better than it ever has been and the Federal government is collecting more tax revenue than it ever has in history.

We are actively shooting at and destroying al-Qaeda, instead of them crippling our destroyers and killing tens of soldiers with what amount to motorboats.

The only thing that we can figure out is that your defeatist, incompetent Democrat Party is not in power.

Which is why you and yours have to do everything in your power, aided by your compliant media servants, to convince Americans how awful things are.

Most Americans support Hillarycare and whatnot, given its promises of unlimited benefits and Democrat rhetoric about how “workers can’t afford health insurance” — until they find out, as they did in Wisconsin, that the $400/month healthcare premium for private insurance that they “can’t afford” will be replaced by a $500/month tax increase for each worker.

Furthermore, fnln, given that Democrat voters like yourself don’t care a bit about bribery, as we see with William Jefferson, corruption, as we see with Allan Mollohan, and campaign finance fraud, as we see with Nancy Pelosi, why is your victory strategy to bring them up? The only thing you are doing is opening yourself up to charges of hypocrisy for blatantly supporting that which you decry in others.

Furthermore, what will be interesting in 2008 is when it is finally revealed that the Democrat Party’s strategy on the number-one domestic issue to most Americans — illegal immigration — is to repeal all immigration laws and allow illegal immigrants to vote just in time for the November elections.

Actually, kiddo, I call ‘em like I see ‘em. Whether or not you consider it “vitriolic” or “ridiculous” is irrelevant to me. The only ones who bitch and moan about it are the ones who are perfectly described by them.

Try again.

It will be interesting to watch how far Republicans run from the Bush government when they run for election in 2008. That distance goal combined with a Republican party mired in scandal after scandal and in the gripping control of a dissatisfied religious right will make for some interesting political theatre in 2008. As so many of your colleagues stated repeatedly over the years, “Bush won, deal with it,” the belief that a mess is the fault of Republicans, deal with it.

Bias? What MSM liberal bias?

The fact is the first Coast Guard helicopters were on-site within two hours of the storm ending.

The fact is that the mobilization to assist New Orleans was the largest and fastest in the history of responding to a disaster of that scale…

so true!

I’d just add that the fact is that Gov Blanco repeatedly refused the Bush administrations attempts to help, so much so that Bush finally had to get on the phone to her personally

and the fact is that Nagin IGNORED his own Disaster plans which called for mandatory evacuation, which also purposely did not use the Super Dome as an emergency shelter, but used better locations

and the fact is he also IGNORED the part of his own disaster plan that called for him to equip all emergency shelters with basic survival supplies, ie. Food, Clean Water, toilets…

the fact is that Blanco and Nagin are entirely to blame for the fiasco that happened in New Orleans and they should be down on their knees kissing president Bush’s feet for being too big a man to call them on it

Instead they, and the rest of the vile reprehensible scum that make up the Democrat party, stabbed him in the back and blamed him when his administration mounted the largest, fastest, most organized relief effort in world history.

here you go, put something in that head besides lies and propaganda http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/earth/2315076.html

Only because the media establishment in this country is a straight up PR firm for the Democrats. The media will never expose the Democrats for the radical socialists that they are, and will never discuss the economic consequences of HillaryCare, or Hillary’s new socialized mortgage industry she is flacking. The media bury all Democrat scandals … such as John Murtha’s earmarks to nowhere and Harry GReid’s shady land deals. Or the fact that Hillary’s campaign cochair is an impeached felon and bribe-taker. They also bury the deranged hatred of the Nutroots left that owns the Democrat party.

If the media in this country were honest, we’d have much cleaner politics in this country.

Let’s see…Obama inserted his foot into his mouth and then shot himself in said foot so he’s done. Nobody’s going to vote for a Socialist who proposed a reversal on authorizing the war so Hillary’s done. The rest don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell.

What else you got?

Frankly, I don’t see how the Republicans need luck against the McGovernites currently running.

Then, after it failed, congress put $3 billion in “enforcement only” spending into the Homeland Security Budget.

And Lindsey Grahamnesty and John McCain quickly put their names on an “Enforcement Only” border security bill.

And now, even the Bush Administration is led kicking and screaming into enforcing immigration law.

So, all you neo-mods, how is it that that which could never happen… is happening?

The fact is that the mobilization to assist New Orleans was the largest and fastest in the history of responding to a disaster of that scale.

The fact is that New Orleans flooded because for decades, local Democrat politicians had been diverting federal funds for levee maintenance into building things like walkways for riverboat casinos.

The fact is that Democrat Mayor Nagin left people in the city, and left schoolbuses to be flooded, because of his gross incompetence. While Democrat Governor Blanco dithered, fretted about what to wear, and went whining to every camera crew in sight instead of calling out the National Guard or coordinating an emergency plan.

The fact is, the gulf coast of Mississippi was hit much worse than New Orleans, but has made a much faster recovery.

The facts about the response to Hurricane Katrina are quite at odds with the myth. Not to say that there weren’t mistakes made, but the propaganda establishment of the mainstream media told an epic lie, and made it stick.

You’re absolutely right. We don’t need to have USAR there while the storm is still raging. We need to wait at least 3 weeks after for FEMA to do something just like the east coast did in 1999.

And who needs help when the liberals will be there to exploit the blacks and making sure that not calling them “refugees” is paramount. And of course what would any disaster be without the liberal media filming, spreading the lies of rape, murder and canabalism. And what more would any storm victim need other than Anderson Vanderbilt crying on cue?

Facts are facts.

Oh, please…name one Dhimmicrat who can actually tell the difference between fact and fiction. They still think that Bush blew up the levees in New Orleans, and that he caused (a) the miners to be trapped in Utah, (b) LAX to shut down, (c) the bridge in Minnesota to collapse and (d) climate change.

For someone the Libtard Left thinks is so stupid, he sure is adept at causing all these things and not getting caught.

Sigh…too easy…

You mean like the way they blocked the GOP’s efforts when they were the minority party? Well, what goes around comes around, doofus.

Plus – I guess that you haven’t heard that the Dhimmicrat-controlled Congress just passed a law that entitles the federal government to intercept communications without FISA consequences.

The Doofuscrats didn’t stop to think that now that they have legalized these intercepts, it basically renders their previous arugments about “domestic spying” meaningless, since the law now allows warrantless wiretapping of suspected terrorists as passed by Congress.

In other words, BUSH WON.

Try again.

That said, Republicans do have some serious work to do if they hope to regain lost ground in 2008, and they will have to start by coming clean about past mistakes and kicking scumbags like Ted Stevens and Don Young to the curb.
