How soon before the GOP throws Bush and Cheney overboard?

Question

The don't have ENOUGH credibility or support these days to be much of an asset to the party. I am starting to look at Hagel.

Writesome: I am thinking you are a Republican in the tradition of Eisenhower and Goldwater. That's not a bad thing to be.

Writesome: Its a pleasure making your acquaintance. Total agreement on Eisenhower and Goldwater. Ford was OK as well. There are Republicans I could vote for, the ones currently in charge don't have the stature or my respect. Agreed: a very small but extreme sliver of the conservative ultra right has hijacked the party.
It started with Reagan and even so, I would prefer him or Bush 41 to whom we currently have. Things are beginning to unravel for Bush and his administration. How this past 6 years served the national interest is beyond me.
What we need are decent leaders.

Answer 1

Not soon enough.

The Republican Party is my party, the party of small government. I'm tired of Neo-cons calling me a RINO because I believe in what makes this party great.

Bush is a joke.

*UPDATE*

Thank you, planksheer. Yes, I consider myself a classical liberal, like many of the great Republicans in history.

Dwight Eisenhower is one of the most underrated Presidents of all time. He wasn't one of the greatest, but he was darn good, and deserves mention in discussion of "Great Presidents".

Goldwater's hard-line foreign policy, especially in relation to the Soviet Union, was risky at the time. He really needed a Gorbachev. He really got the shaft.

Small government doesn't mean big business. Adam Smith realized this, Milton Friedman realized this. Unfortunately, George W. Bush does not.

The "Religious Right" and "Moral Majority" have hijacked my party, and the party of my fathers. Call me a RINO, call me a liberal, call me whatever you want. I am a Republican, and one day America will remember what that means.

So, thanks again, planksheer.

*ANOTHER UPDATE*

I'm tired of all these imitation-Reagans.

Reagan was a great President, but has left a horribly indelible mark on the Republican Party. I applaud his free-market economics, and he did bring down the Soviet Union. Unfortunately, his "Christian conservatism" rippled throughout the GOP, leaving a lasting impression on some of the best and brightest in the party (not Bush, obviously. I suppose I'm thinking of Newt Gingrich.)

Reagan was the right President for the right time, but that doesn't mean all Republican politicians should aspire to be "the next Reagan."

The days of the gunslinger are gone. No more cowboys.

Answer 2

nicely Im hoping you're from yet another united states the place you have aparlimentary equipment, wherein case your lack of understanding is comprehensible and its a respectable question. while you're from the U. S., evidently such as you would be able to desire to apply a republican subsidized college voucher to get your self a actual coaching. You cant impeach somebody purely with the aid of fact they do no longer seem to be enjoyed. An actual can basically be inpeached in the event that they have explicity broken a regulation ("treason, intense crimes or misdomeanors" as pronounced int he shape). purely with the aid of fact no person likes their coverage doesnt mean that has occurred. in spite of the reality that it had little to do with certainty and justice and extra to do with politics, reasons why Clinton became impeached (at last equitted interior the Senate for the two political reasons), became with the aid of fact he explicitly broke a regulation, that being mendacity under oath to a grand jury, some thing that would desire to place any individuals in reformatory. If the two Bush or Cheney had surely broken a regulation, the democrat led congress may well be dealing with impeachment hearings top now.

Answer 3

I've been following the Libby trial and it seems that there are grounds to impeach Cheney. He helped to out a CIA agent. Cheney's the guy who shoots people and whispers in the President's ear. And he still won't budge an inch on anything.

Bush -- well, a lot of pols trying to cut the coattails, I guess that speaks volumes.

Answer 4

We have a year and a half left. Everyone needs to cool off. The RINO (Republicans In Name Only) are just a squeaky wheel and nothing more. They are insignificant.

The GOP will not flip-flop or disrespect the President like the Dems/Libs. We hold the office with more respect. In China or Iran that would get you killed. So, President Bush and Vice-President Cheney will finish out their terms honorably and then we will elect a new punching bag for everyone's woes.

This is just what happens when you get a 49.9% to 50.1% Presidential victory. Half like him... half hate him...

Answer 5

They won't. They'll just wait until their term is over. The Republican party never admits their wrongs. They only impeach democrats. Only the smart individuals are alienating themselves.

Answer 6

There has been a crack opened up as some repuglican congressmen have denounced him for his stay the course on steroids approach to the Iraqi war. How wide it gets will depend on how successful it is, if it flops like I think it will then by election time they will be asking, George Who? and be fleeing them like he was on fire.

Answer 7

It couldn't be too soon. They have ruined the reputation of the Grand Old Party. Unfortunately many innocent Republicans will suffer because of them.

Answer 8

We won't. When will theliberals throw out Jesse Jackson, Hillary, Kennedy, and the sorts. They tried Liberman, and look where it got them.

Answer 9

hopefully soon! bush's appoval rating has dropped to 35 percent.

Answer 10

They won't because GOP is> two face<
