Joe Scarborough: Bush Willing to Take His Party Over A Cliff to Prove His Point |
Poor Fred. Scarborough was probably one of his
heroes ... once. How can he stand Republican
politicians turning against his god?

Scarborough: Bush willing to take his party over a cliff to prove his point
COMMENTARY
By Joe Scarborough
Host, 'Scarborough Country'
MSNBC
Updated: 9:17 a.m. ET Feb 2, 2007
The slow demise of the national Republican Party just took a turn for the
worse. Hard to believe that the GOP's prospects could actually become more
bleak after two years of unrelenting bad news, but it has.
Republican senators are now turning their rhetorical guns away from
Democrats and toward one another. A few conservative Republican senators,
whose votes usually cheer me up during bleak political times, are actually
accusing Virginia's senior senator, John Warner, of providing comfort to
terrorists.
The White House even got involved in the name calling when Tony Snow
suggested Warner's actions could embolden the likes of Osama Bin Laden.
The message from the Bush administration seems to be this: "Thanks for
carrying our water on this miserable war for four years. Now we're going
accuse you of helping terrorists."
How pathetic.
Didn't ***** Cheney just cite Ronald Reagan's 11th Commandment about
Republicans not attacking one another?
My how things have changed in a few days.
It's one more reason I have grown increasingly distraught over the GOP's
direction in recent months. The president is prepared to take his
administration and his party over the cliff to prove that he right about
Iraq-even if most of his generals and the majority of Americans disagree.
The question now is how long will Republicans stand by this war that has
cost over 3,000 lives? Is it worth the $1 trillion dollars that will be
added to our national debt? Is it worth undercutting our ability to strike
at Iran and North Korea? I would say "yes" to all three questions if there
were the slightest chance victory was around the corner. But it is not. If
you don't believe me, ask any general to tell you about the Bush surge. They
will roll their eyes.
Even if you agree with me that this war was worth fighting as long as we
believed Saddam Hussein had WMD's aimed at America, at some point you have
to face the facts: the Bush administration was wrong about those weapons,
wrong about the nuclear program, wrong about their refusal to quell rioting
early, wrong about Bremer's gutting of the Iraqi army and police force,
wrong about refusing to kill or capture al Sadr in 2003, wrong to tell the
generals not speak of the coming insurgency, wrong to stubbornly refuse to
give generals the troops they needed to win this war, wrong to make the
"Mission Accomplished" declaration, wrong for the VP to claim that the
insurgency was in its death throes and wrong to push a surge plan that the
president's top generals opposed.
The list could continue for pages but I will be generous to the White House
and leave it at that.
At some point, GOP senators and congressmen need to understand that this war
is no longer a battle between Republican war heroes and Democratic 60s
hippie freaks. The lines have now been blurred by Bush's bungling war
strategy. Now we find ourselves in a fight between war heroes and war
heroes. Former secretaries of Navy and former Vietnam POWs. Conservative
Republicans and protectors of the president.
That may not be so bad for George W. Bush in the short run, but it is a
disaster for Republicans in 2008 and beyond.
Conservatives had better wake up before all the gains made by Ronald Reagan
and the 1994 Revolution are lost. The clock is ticking.

I'm not a fan of Scarborough's but I think I've seen some indications
that he may be drifting to the left. He is certainly becoming more
critical of Bush.
Bush doesn't care about his party. He knows he can't run for office
again. He's just being the dumb selfish little frat boy brat that he was
all his life. He just wants his own way and he doesn't care who gets
hurt.

Scarborough isn't drifting to the left. He just finally
saw the light about the Bush administration. And,
he is brave enough to say so.
It's been fascinating watching all the rightwingers on
MSNBC turning against the Bush Administration while
touting their Republican or Libertarianness.
Bush doesn't care about his party. He knows he can't run for office
again. He's just being the dumb selfish little frat boy brat that he was
all his life. He just wants his own way and he doesn't care who gets
hurt.
And, since he was never mentally stable to begin
with, both he and Cheney are coming unravelled
together. Cheney has enough intelligence to see
his whole world falling apart and the possiblity of
impeachment and, possibly, prison. And his
outburst on the Wolf Blitzer Show shows how
frightened he is. Bush sees himself failing yet
again, and Daddy can't pull his nuts out of the
fire this time. The Daddy that he wanted to
prove himself 'better' than.That is making him
insanely angry and stupidly/dangerously stubborn.
To prove that HE is a man, he doesn't care how
many soldiers and Marines he has to sacrifice.

Good for him anyway.

Uncle ***** knows he's in big trouble. I wonder what else Libby might

He just doesn't care. Or if he cares he suppresses it. Maybe that's why
he doesn't go to soldiers' funerals or let pictures of their caskets
arriving in the US to be shown.
I agree. He does want to be a big man. He probably fantasizes about
being another Lincoln, FDR, or Churchill. However, he reminds me more of
Napoleon on the retreat from Moscow.
