Who’s fault is it that the rank and file Republican is disenchanted with their own party? There are many who could be named, but maybe the worst are influential Republicans/Conservatives.
Since President Bush doesn’t defend himself, who has taken the banner and stood for him? Liberal reporters like having officials hand them their reports so they only have to add their bylines. It seems they can’t do the leg-work that to meet the massive demand of too many programs and editors. It started long ago that the conservative reporters and pundits began to say nothing or begin to buy into the Democrat/Liberal attacks which are/were unadulterated negative propaganda.
Our representatives in congress seem so naive that they can only say what the national committee puts out or say nothing while tacking onto bills their favors for wealthy friends and supporters. They find it a lot easier to “distance” themselves from the president - into the political no man’s land.
The most vicious attacks against the President has been from conservative spokespersons like Bill Kristol, Phyllis Schafley, and even Peggy Noonan. Do you really believe that they battered the President for the nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court because of her qualifications, and not because she was an Evangelical Christian. When Bush was criticized for his Texas accent? Did anyone say that using that measure, most Americans would be considered stupid: listen up New England. Convince me that the bias from the conservative media wasn’t because he is a Texan and an Evangelical Christian.
Now we have the whisper campaign becoming more public that all Republican problems are because of Bush. Did you notice that from the first they avoided using the prefix president. If congressmen and pundits want to see who endangered the Republican party, they should look in the mirror.
