I’m with Gaucho. My distaste for the recent incarnation of the GOP has as much to do with Tom Delay, Bill Frist, Jack Abramoff and Saipan. I suppose it began with the obviously partisan and useless impeachment proceedings that left the Contract With America in tatters (at least for me). Country first, eh, Newt?

It won’t be a landslide if you don’t vote. If I have to wait all day in line to vote, I will.

No separating bush from his party,

“thatâ€™s not the fault of the Republicans in Congress; itâ€™s not even because the electorate has undergone any fundamental change. It all rests with George W. Bush, and his decision to invade Iraq.”

You cant separate bush from the congressional republicans. The gop controlled everything for most of bush’s presidency and then they worked extra hard to oppose the dems after they took control of congress. they share the same ideology as much as they want to deny it. none of them were coming out against the presidents policies regarding deregulation or his destruction of federal agencies or his ridiculous assertion that the president is above any judicial review. none of them have been working to fix the health care system in the country. the president does not pass laws, congress does. if they wanted to exert oversight and stop bush they could have done a great deal more.

Conservatives are going to try and deny that bush was a real conservative, they are going to try and scapegoat him when in reality he was exactly what they wanted. with one party rule you know exactly who to hold responsible for failure and that encompasses the gop in congress, not just bush. Bush was awful but he had a lot of help and very little resistance.

On the issue of iraq, i agree that it is a big issue but in the current climate the driving force is clearly the economic crisis. iraq has pretty much been resolved in the minds of most.
