So I Ask Again Friends: When Do The rePublicans Start 'Jumping Ship' ???

Poll question: So I Ask Again Friends: When Do The rePublicans Start 'Jumping Ship' ???

Re-Posted For The Post-Clarke Testimony Version. What say you NOW???

******

As I recall, Tricky Dick did not resign until his own party informed him that they could not prevent an Impeachment vote in the House. In fact, some rePublicans said they would vote with the Dems TO Impeach. They saw the writing on the wall.

Now, considering the fact that the current crop of rePublicans might want to hold on to their seats in Congress more than they want to fight to the death (give up those seats) for the Boy Chimp...

When do you think we will start seeing signs of rePublican 'disloyalty' to the unelected warmonger???

1. Repugs, like their captain *, will all go down with the ship

So I voted never.

[Wickerman]

2. Can't vote

no dingbat option.

I think by or about June things will heat up so much it'll be time. Everything takes a while to sink in.

3. Already seeing it, if only subtly.

One of our local congresspersons, Sue Myrick, has long been known as a rubber stamp for the Bush administration; she sits on the Rules committee, making her part of the lower tier of House GOP Leadership. She's started to criticize the Bush Administration on its reckless fiscal policy, spending, that sort of thing. (Of course she has no qualms with any spending in her own district...)

[Career Prole]

4. They're already starting to buck a bit...

For instance, bush* won't allow Rice's public testimony but there is increasing disagreement on that from the right side of the aisle. On CNN's Late Edition today, Shays actually called the refusal "foolish"...even though it's the shrub (rove)-approved plan of inaction. I haven't heard many of them supporting the refusal.

[WillyT]

7. Yep, There's Been A Lot Of rePublican Head-Shaking Over...

Condi's refusal to tetify under oath in public. Many are probably wondering how this blunder can be allowed to stand.

<snip>

Commissioner John Lehman, another Republican, said Rice "has nothing to hide, and yet this is creating the impression for honest Americans all over the country and people all over the world that the White House has something to hide, that Condi Rice has something to hide."

"And if they do, we sure haven't found it. There are no smoking guns. That's what makes this so absurd. It's a political blunder of the first order," Lehman told ABC's "This Week."

A White House ally, Richard Perle, said, "I think she would be wise to testify."

Perle, who resigned last month as an adviser to the Pentagon, said he recognized the constitutional concerns at issue. "Sometimes you have to set those aside because the circumstances require it," he said in a televised interview.

5. Normie Coleman will be the last rat off the ship

Of course, it's hard to jump when your lips are Super Glued to the captain's ass.

There was just an article in the Star Tribune this past week about all the phone calls he's made for Bush's election.

Once Bush goes down, it will be fun watching the little weasel try and tap dance his way out of his relationship with Shrub.

[Wickerman]

8. That's all the little prick has done - campaign for Bush*

what a horrid loser. He'll have no where to go once Bush* goes down.

[WillyT]

9. Agreed !!!

I mean, after all the hubbub about Coleman defeating Mondale after Wellstone's death, has he done ANYTHING to distinguish himself???

:shrug:

[Wickerman]

10. He's only made an ass of hisself

"I'm a 99% improvement on Paul Wellstone". And then spin that, Normie, you gutless wonder. He is a disgusting pukestain.

[BeFree]

6. Let 'em stay on board

I hope they all go down together... make it a clean sweep ... why do they hate America ... what is it about true Justice that makes 'em squirm? ... the whole pack a' lying squirmy squatters needs to put out of our misery, eh?

[mulethree]

11. Is it an accident this comes to a head to late for a repub choice?

If the recent frenzy's had come 6 months ago, I would bet there would
be republican contenders and primaries. A chance for the republicans to hear Bush cut down by other republicans, a shrunken war chest, disenfranchised repubs whose superior contender lost to Bush.

Do you think Dems delayed so we would be sure to have just Bush to deal with, with his obvious weaknesses?

Or the Repubs delayed to keep their people unified behind the incumbent instead of having a choice?

[Stephanie]

12. Being republicans, it will be a race to throw each other overboard

You didn't think "I got mine screw you" ended at the courthouse door, did you? These guys will rat each other out in a heartbeat when they recognize the inevitable.

[WillyT]

13. Morning Kick !!!

:kick:

[WillyT]

14. Afternoon Kick (West Coast) !!!

:kick:

[tom_paine]

15. Yes, they are jumping ship in droves

BUT, the Busheviks know this and are looking to replenish with 3,000,000 new "voters" culled from the ranks of the American Taliban.

Add in the Manual Disenfranchisement Tactics used in 2000 and 2002, combine that with the Electronic Ballot Tampering pioneered in Georgia and Minnesota 2002, consider that each will be steped up accordingly and with the certain sure knowledge that Corporate TV Pravda would NEVER expose their Imperial Masters.

Kerry will have to win by 10% to "win in a squeaker".

[WillyT]

16. 'Kerry will have to win by 10% to "win in a squeaker"'. --- Agreed !!!

The margin of victory NEEDS to be self-evident to everyone.

I'm afraid we cannot go through another Election 2000 drama without there being violence this time.

My stomach is already in knots, and we still have 7 months to go.

Sigh...

[Karenina]

17. If 90% of Ameicans

have not awakened to the FACT that they and the ROTW are being SCREWED UP THE ASS, I just don't know what to say.

[WillyT]

18. And THAT... Is The Scariest Thought Of All !!!

:scared::scared::scared::scared::scared::scared:

[WillyT]

19. Item (For What It's Worth): Even Right Wing Commentators Think...

Condi should testify before the 9\11 Commission. Can't understand the WH's reluctance.

Hmm....

Smells like Watergate Spirit...

:shrug:

[mopinko]

20. Tricky Dick did not resign until his own party informed him

[WillyT]

22. Tis My Point Above !!!

:hi:

[Mari333]

21. I would like to think that many of them are contacting their lawyers

as we speak.

[WillyT]

23. LOL !!!

Yeah.

:hi::evilgrin::hi:

[WillyT]

24. The Pins Are All Set Up --- Read Today's Krugman !!!

<snip>

Where will it end? In his new book, "Worse Than Watergate," John Dean, of Watergate fame, says, "I've been watching all the elements fall into place for two possible political catastrophes, one that will take the air out of the Bush-Cheney balloon and the other, far more disquieting, that will take the air out of democracy."
