If TIME magazine says so, it must be true

As midterm campaigns gear up, Bush's party fears a backlash that could end its 12-year hold on the House



Republicans On The Run
By KAREN TUMULTY, MIKE ALLEN

Considering that Vice President Dick Cheney had come a long way to help Florida Congressman Ric Keller raise $250,000 last week, the reception he got in the Sunshine State could have been a bit warmer. After extolling Cheney as "one of the most effective Vice Presidents in the history of the U.S.," Keller launched into all the times he had recently opposed the Bush Administration, including the deal to allow a Dubai company to manage operations at several U.S. ports. And then Keller went right for the punch line: "'Don't be too hasty,'" he claimed the Vice President had pleaded with him. "'Let's go hunting. We'll talk about it.'"

Ha Ha!

If you are a republican reading this you can spare me the "Democrats don't have any ideas" nonsense. I'm a democrat and I have an idea - REPUBLICANS ARE UNFIT TO GOVERN.

Update:Here is another Democratic idea. The problem with Democratic ideas is that they (for the most part) don't include bombing the bejeesus out of random countries. That's why the Republicans don't recognize them as ideas.

Comments:
Iraq is driving nearly all the big indicators the wrong way for Republicans. In a TIME poll conducted last week, Bush's job approval rating was mired at 39%; 3 in 5 Americans said the country is headed in the wrong direction, and when those surveyed were given the choice between a generic Republican and a generic Democrat for Congress, the nameless Democrat won, 50% to 41%. The signs suggest an anti-Republican wave is building, says nonpartisan electoral handicapper Stuart Rothenberg, whose Rothenberg Political Report is closely followed in Washington. "The only question is how high, how big, how much force it will have. I think it will be considerable."

The rest of the article is just as good.
