"Do you think they don't understand really how bad things are becoming for Bush and company......." Can't comment on paret, I have him on ignore. I think there are many on the right who don't realize how precarious their position is right now. Katrina was a tipping point, and Fitzgerald and the Abramoff investigations will just push things even further. They keep pushing the same old buttons they used to, but they don't work any more. They have lost trust, and that is a catastrophic failure. Well said. Its ironic that they don't realize how much credibility they've lost. Its seems they won't get it until they are tarred and feathered, and then run out of town. FWIW, this has been in the works for a while. Their base has been uneasy for a while because they have perceived that things are moving in a more authoritarian direction than they are comfortable with. Do you think......I'm not sure about that. I think their base is more uneasy because so many things are not going right.....Iraq, Katrina, the economy etc; that the Bushes are proving to be as incompetent as foretold by the rest of the country. You can only make excuses for so long. But 9/11 threw most for a loop. Sadly, most people are willing to trade freedom for security, but only if it works. When it doesn't, well, I refer you to the Chinese concept of "the mandate of heaven". That's the saddest aspect of this whole thing........how quickly people were willing to trade freedom for security. That makes me feel much more unsafe than a 9/11. ted
