GOP supporters fall into 2 categories , one super rich and greedy who love more tax cuts and second are the ignorant bible readers , the funny thing is bible was about helping poor, elderly and the sick and under GOP all these 3 groups are worse off , only very wealthy are better off

Actually, someone mentioned this to me just this evening.  Very disturbing.  As a Reagan Republican, let me say that I'm very distressed about the trend this administration is taking both the Republican Party and the nation as a whole.\n\nThis no-knock rule, in itself, is not the end of the world, but in the context of the changes that have been happening, it's quite distressing.  I can hear our Founding Fathers turning over in their graves.

The whole administration is on the ropes... but no one is going to do anything until the election... they are just going to drag the Republican party down so far that no one with a mind will vote for it...\nI don't think I've ever seen one administration do so much damage to a party in my lifetime...

they are not related. what the person says above is true. its just a hot botton issue. the republicans are trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator so you'll forget about the war, the corruption and the ineptitude. \n\ndon't be fooled.

Because the Republicans need as many excuses as possible to try to turn the numbers game back into their direction.  The public is catching on to the debauchery and the news is taking it and running.  Maybe it is a good thing..I don't think the American people believe anything any of them have to say. I know I lost any belief I had in the administration.  Total Buffoons.

I wouldn't be surprised at all.  Check to see which politicians have received contributions from WALMART... watch for those defeated politicians who move off of Capitol Hill onto K-Street.\n\nWhat I'm SADDENED by is the Washington has seduced the Republicans... \n\nThen there was the President who accepted money from China to overlook things like patent law, espionage, human rights, and treason.

the republican agenda has been denounced by the electorate and if they  stay with their (stay the course) policy thier era is not only over it will be dead...remember cheney said that no matter what the election results he said stay the course, HOW ARROGANT  his response is a slap in the face of the electorate and if history tells us anything its this, americans dont like to be ignored or taken lightly. so in closing if they stay the course they will lose the senate and the presidency next election

I just read the article. Since the article is a negative comment on YET ANOTHER Republican drummed out of public service for improper behavior, they will say it's all lies and Dems are making too much of it, while they can't stop talking about the media coverage of Kerry's remarks. Typical.

it says that our current government is doing a bad job governing the country as a whole. It's just that simple believe it or not. \n\nSometimes it gets so bad that partisanship doesn't even matter anymore and voters from other parties will vote for candidates other than their own.

The Dmeocrats are worried because all along they have been shooting down Republican plans, They have been using some bad news about a few Republicans to run their elections and the Americans were foolish enough to fall for it. They Distracted us (not me) from the actual topic to superficial topics. Now they are worried because they have to actually do something. And we are all watching and waiting. Of course we all know the Democrats will be portrayed as the best thing to happen becasue the media is a liberal media. CNN,ABC,NBC,CBS,MSNBC etc..

I am chilled, thanks.\n\nI for one realize that the Bush administration are using this as a distraction from the real issues that should be in the public focus. Because we have mid-terms coming up in November, the Republicans need two or three bulls*** platforms with which to enrage their 'base'.\n\nI'm glad to say that so far it doesn't seem to be working. This issue was supposed to start a national debate that would last until the elections. Now that we're almost into May it seems to have been largely forgotten.

Prove it Buddy. You have it so wrong b/c even the news states that Dems have been spending that percentage on dissing the Republicans. Have you even watched the news lately. The news is also stating what will happen to the Dems if they do lose Nov. 6. Bet you didn't hear about that one. Or you did but you can't except the truth.

I'm confused by your writing that "Republicans in Congress have their work cut out for them this fall". Is there some secret polling I'm not aware of that says Democrats are cruising along? Last I heard the Democrats in Congress were polling with LESS than 25% approval ratings.\n\nI think everyone is going to have a tough time this election season. And that's awesome.

You betcha sweet aspercreme.  Polls show Democrats leading Congressional races already for the 2006 elections and Bush isn't done messin' up yet!  Everything Our President does (and doesn't do  i.e. Katrina) impacts how the public sees the good ol' GOP.  Even Republicans themselves are now splitting between religious conservatives and moderate religious conservatives. Look at the decision this week in Maryland by a Republican judge that "W." appointed himself on "the teaching 'Intelligent Design' as science" being a bunch of crap and crossing the church and state line.  And in a Congressional vote just last week the Minority Leader was able to achieve a rarely seen task- every member of the Democratic Party voted the same.  Yup, think Hilary's on her way in 2008

Without a doubt. While the parties would like to portray this as a Democrat victory, it is clear that the main factor in the Republican losses was the anger exhibited by moderates and true Conservatives toward the neo-con wing of the party. Even some neo-cons have had enough of the Administration and their bible-thumping lackeys.

Just look at the headlines today. Makes me laugh so hard I might pee my pants. Almost every person mentioned has a tie to the republicans and they are either having gay sex and taking drugs or stealing from the country.

Not very fun, I fear.\n\nThis election will, no doubt, be very "nasty and brutish" given the way trends have gone in the past several elections.\n\nThe democrats are full of hate for President Bush, and that seems to be pretty much their only platform point, so far.  That won't win the election for them, but it will keep the mud-slinging at a very high level.\n\nAnd the Republicans, sad to say, will no doubt sink right down into the same pig trough.
