Bush Gives up on GOP Chances in 2006 Elections Email Print

In the final throes of Republican power, the President has simply given up. He could have been campaigning for Allen in VA, Corker in TN, Burns in MT, Chaffee in RI or even Kyl in AZ, but instead, President Bush decided to spend the bulk of the final day before the critical midterms stumping for... wait for it...

...Katharine Harris!

That's right. Harris -- his savior in 2000 has turned into one of the GOP's many Achilles heels in 2006, but Bush is there for her even though she has not one chance in Hell of defeating her opponent, incumbent Democrat Bill Nelson (who she trails by 25-30 points depending on which polls you follow).

Ironically, the appearance is one that suggests President Bush is a man who has simply given up on the people that have supported him over the past six years - something that cannot feel too warm and fuzzy to those considering a vote for their local Republican candidate.

Likewise, it is a vote of no-confidence for Bush by the GOP Senate, House and Gubernatorial candidates. By refusing to be seen with Bush, they are sending a very stark message to those would- be supporters that Republicans hope to see at the polls Nov 7th. Essentially, they are saying "I have nothing to do with the President that you all seem to dislike so much, so please vote for me - a truly independent voice."

What they're thinking, however, is this, "I have nothing to do with this unpopular president, so vote for me. And when I'm back in office, THEN you can bet I'll be breathlessly rubber-stamping that same president's failed policies, but don't be stupid and think I'm going to tell you that up front - SUCKERS!!!"

Bush and his rubberstamp Republicans have already had many chances and failed each and every time.

Now it's time for a change - a positive change toward competence, ideas, diplomacy, intelligence and true leadership.

Vote Democrat on Tuesday, November 7th.
