"I'd imagine they wish there was some way they could lose Bush!" Probably. But that ship has sailed. Not only do we have an America that tortures, we have an America whose leaders have openly distorted information. And that isn't the America we all learned in school. Ok, this is politics. And yes, politics is the art of distortion. But art recognizes limits. Our present administration recognizes no limits. For good or ill, and I have been saying it is ill, Dubya is the poster child for the GOP. They accepted him, they promoted him, he is there's. But, "accepted" is too mild, they allowed him to embody them. This is the rock they break on, because the GOP is, or at least should, be greater than the narrow aspect that Dubya represents. But they doubled down on Smirk, and their hand looks weak. So what happens? I suspect that the GOP has met their Waterloo. The best they can achieve is to split the party. Much like when the Republican-Democrats became the Democratic Party. This is an inflection point. History changes at this point.
