Republicans Eating Their Own and Who's left Holding the Bag?

Eleven congresspeople met in the private quarters of the White House today to ask Bush to finally be "honest" and to have "candor" in his discussions of the Iraq Occupation. So, after 5+ years of lying and secrecy, they want the leopard to change its spots. What's in it for them? They're worried about their CONTINUANCE, not their CONSTITUENTS! Now they can go back to their voters and claim, "I TRIED to get Bush to stop lying!" or "I TRIED to get the W to be truthful!" Then, of course, they'll ask for their vote to continue their "fine work representing their districts" in the Nation's Capital.

They thought they could have it both ways. For the last six years, they've stood behind the Chief Liar and his gang while they looted the US Treasury and destoyed our reputation on a global basis --- a sort of "Global Coldshoulder" is about all we can expect from our former allies. They stood shoulder to shoulder with Bush/Cheney as the Imperial Pretender and his Surrogate Daddy ripped large sections from the US Constitution and undermined our time-honored military restraint. They didn't question the lack of WMDs or why we attacked Iraq because Osama, a Saudi being protected by Afganistan, attacked New York City. They didn't ask why we left Afganistan to be re-occupied by Al Qaida and the Taliban while we were spending our time protecting the Mobil/Exxon's profits by occupying Iraq. For all their time in Congress, they never asked a question. They were the Silent Majority, in fact. Now they want to pretend they can make effect a change in the Bush Regime.

Personally, I appreciate their effort but I think it'll take something akin to what we did to Saddam to get George the Second to give up his throne. Besides the fact that I think Bush being "honest" is like asking Al Quaida to be "friendly", it appears that those Repugnicans who've been so staunch in their support of Bush Regime's failed policy in Iraq are beginning to turn inward to feed on themselves.

Going to the Presidential bedroom and having a private "nite-nite" chat with the Drunken Frat Boy leaves behind those like our senators Cornyn and Hutchinson to wonder how they're going to "deal with this". Of course, they'll continue to "support the party" and their little buddy in the White House because they don't know what else to do. No where in their flash through the Senatorial sky have they ever had to come up their own talking points; they've always had the Karl Rove to tell them what to do. They simply stod behind the product they sold in 2000 and 2004 even though they knew it was killing thousands of our children and hundreds of thousands in Iraq and Afganistan. Now they're all alone, left holding the bag. But, John and Kay, don't fret, we --- the US Public --- are left holding an even bigger bag!
