The Republicans are doing a heckuva job of self-destructing. They don't need literature to help them along.

trevster2k said:All writers who don't blindly and rabidly support conservative positions are not considered objective by conservatives. I think that's pretty straightforward. If you are against anything conservatives support, you are totally for the extreme opposite of the issue. Anti-death penalty means support freeing of murderers to society. Pro-choice means you want to kill babies. Anti-war means support terrorism. And so on.
Now Ann Coulter, Bill O ReillyFox News, Rush Limbaugh, they're objective. Except when/if they criticize Bush.

Are liberals any different?
Quoting Seymour Hersh to give credibility to Bob Woodward would be like me quoting William F. Buckley Jr. to give credibility to Robert Bork.
trevster2k said:This book won't change anything. Bush supporters probably won't read it. If it was called "Bush : Leader of Men, Messanger of Democracy, Protector of Human Rights", I probably wouldn't read it. So I doubt it will cause any "damage", it's basically much ado about nothing. Although, it is impressive to see the Republican spin machine and handlers do their thing, they are awesome at it. Something the Democrats should learn about or hire away some of their people. Ya gotta fight fire with fire.

As someone who was probably classisfied as a Bush supporter at one time in here....I have read the other books, and I will read this one probably over Thanksgiving.
Did you read the first two? Do you believe that Bush supporters are somehow not capable of being judicious? Did you as a Bush non-supporter read the other two, or chalk them up to propaganda?

This is actually how I feel about the current Republican leadership...toothless. This latest Foley incident just might be the nail in the coffin of my party membership.
It is not that Foley simply made a mistake. I wouldn't judge the whole party by one man's actions. What really gets under my skin is that it seems most of the leaders knew about this and did nothing. It's so depressing. It seems so few people have the courage to do the right thing.
The Republicans do their song and dance for half the polulation...the Democrats do their song and dance for the other half. Both hope to pick up the few stragglers for a victory. After the cameras are gone - it seems they all go back to the same underground party.
