GOP Civil War Kicks Off

FRIDAY MAY 11 2007 2:00 PM

As I have said before, the only way for Republicans to survive the 2008 elections will be to crush the White House. The administration is behaving like a reckless, drunk, angry 11-year old boy and will drag the rest of the GOP down to depths never before seen if it continues on its current path. Republicans in Congress just seem to be waking up and realizing this President will not alter policies to save them from hemorrhaging seats next year. Suddenly the Republicans on the hill are growing balls – and the White House is not happy about it.

Eleven moderate Republican Congressmen went to the White House this week to let the President know they expected a change in course in Iraq. The did not hear what they wanted to hear, and after the meeting Republican Tom Davis of Virginia said Bush is “in a bubble.” They then leaked the meeting to the press and the White House is not pleased.


White House political adviser Karl Rove, furious that Republican moderates had divulged a confrontational meeting they had on Tuesday with Bush on the war, started yesterday with an angry conversation with the meeting's organizer, Rep. Mark Steven Kirk (R-Ill.), according to several GOP lawmakers. Dan Meyer, the White House's chief lobbyist, called the other participants to express the administration's unhappiness.


DO NOT SPEAK ABOUT THE KING UNLESS HE GIVES PERMISSION! Rape their wives and cut off their feet – but let them live.

Sith Lord Dick Cheney let the Republicans in Congress know exactly where they stand with the administration.


Vice President Dick Cheney did not mince words in an interview with the Fox News Channel. “We didn’t get elected to be popular,” Mr. Cheney said. “We didn’t get elected to worry just about the fate of the Republican Party.”


Um, Dick, you are gonna need them on your side or you will be eating your own assholes for the couple of years. That’s how the government was set up by the Founding Fathers. Turns out they wanted to avoid everything that you are.

The Republicans in Congress are giving the White House plenty of warnings that they need to make a change. House Minority Leader John Boehner recently said:


"By the time we get to September or October, members are going to want to know how well this is working, and if it isn't, what's Plan B."


And Senator Lott also made his stance known:


"This fall we have to see some significant changes on the ground."


And now they are asking for face-to-face meetings with the President to express their displeasure – only to be rebuffed. Apparently the White House did not understand what it meant when the RNC leaked the information about Rove using their servers for his emails. Let me spell it out for you: You have served your purpose. You may be in the White House but we will kill you for the party’s survival.

On the other side is a White House so ruthless that they leaked the name of a CIA agent for payback. 2008 will be a glorious year for liberals. If you thought Republicans were savage when attacking the left, wait you see them go after their own.

If I remember correctly, Plan B was "the terrorists win."

I thought Plan B was "Insist Plan A is working until a Democrat gets in office and we don't have to deal with it anymore."

"We didn't get elected to be popular," Mr. Cheney said. "We didn't get elected to worry just about the fate of the Republican Party."



reads to me like this:


"We werent popular enough to get elected," Mr. Cheney said. "We fixed it. We didnt fix it to worry just about the fate of the Republic. Anybody but Halliburton can go fuck off. "

Mine too Shalome.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out, where the fractures develop. Think it'll be pretty revealing who's in which coporation's pocket.

I could have sworn Karl Rove had been ditched. Silly me.

Ah, nature. Many species will turn on their own, when the scent of blood occurs.

Maybe it hasn't dawned on Dybya yet that he's a lame duck.

I thought Plan B was frowned upon by pro-lifers.
