The current yada-yada by Republicans is that
the bribery scandel in Washington "won't hurt them" ~~because the public is disgusted with ALL POLITICIANS...
Well, perhaps...
But, it should be remembered that the Republicans are in control of Washington and all of this happened on their "watch." And the public does hold the leadership responsible for "Current Conditions"...even if they are not directly responsible for those conditions.
Furthermore, the Republicans may be underestimating the attitude of the public on policy priorities...
Many Republicans are content to merely say: "Well the Democrats take bribes too..."
OK. But that is NOT what's on mom and pop's mind these days...
Consider:
The public is concerned about the HEALTH CARE CRISIS... But we are repeatedly told the Republicans: "Don't want to talk about that issue." Hmmmm....?
And, the public is concerned about jobs and wages... But, Bush has declare the economy to be "booming"...problem solved. No matter that mom and pop still think the economy is in RECESSION! And heading in the wrong direction!
The public is concerned about the aftermath of the Iraq War; and the continuing death rate of American soldiers, who we now have discovered where given "cheap" body armor...by Rummy & Co!
And, even the Bubba Republicans must be wondering why Kongressional Republicans are so silent about the homo marriages, and the abortion Constitutional Amendment that they were repeatedly promised during the 2004 elections.... Ya think?
Indeed, the Kongressional Republicans seem to be concerned SOLELY with WHOSE BRIBES WERE "MORE LEGAL" IN WASHINGTON...!
AND THAT'S ABOUT IT...
Well, Republicans beware!
Mom and Pop may have a different agenda in the voting booth this November!
