Sorry, but it's more like they're worried about the 2006 elections,
and they're starting to pretend that they're all independent now
so they don't look quite so hypocritical next year.

They probably have one eye on the polls and one eye on Karl Rove trying
to figure out if they will be hurt less by putting some distance between
themselves and the nekkid emperor or toeing the party line.

Personally, I find it hard to believe that the same media
which now insist that the Downing Street memos aren't
news -- that they knew all along they were reporting
lies to us on their front pages & nightly boadcasts --
has suddenly discovered journalistic integrity, and
independence from the lunatic right-wing.
I'm telling you: Anyone who saves their critical eye
for only the news they don't like is in for a very nasty
surprise.

Keep an eye out for totally fabricated news, of the sort that
Fox "accidentally" put on their web site during the election.
This time around though, they won't be taking it down,
and they won't be calling it an mistake. They'll insist it's
the truth.

And when your liberal media frenzy starts to wane as people realize that
its based on nothing but smoke and mirrors, bring out the moonbat
conspiracy theories.

As other have observed, you've gone to parroting right-wing
"talking points" to typing random words & phrases in
response to people.

Hit by friendly fire
With his polls down, Bush takes flak on Iraq from a host of
critics--including some in his own party
By Kevin Whitelaw
Nebraska Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel is angry. He's upset about the
more than 1,700 U.S. soldiers killed and nearly 13,000 wounded in
Iraq. He's also aggravated by the continued string of sunny
assessments from the Bush administration, such as Vice President *****
Cheney's recent remark that the insurgency is in its "last throes."
"Things aren't getting better; they're getting worse. The White House
is completely disconnected from reality," Hagel tells U.S. News. "It's
like they're just making it up as they go along. The reality is that
we're losing in Iraq."
That's strikingly blunt talk from a member of the president's party,
even one cast as something of a pariah in the GOP because of his early
skepticism about the war. "I got beat up pretty good by my own party
and the White House that I was not a loyal Republican," he says.
Today, he notes, things are changing: "More and more of my colleagues
up here are concerned."
Indeed, there are signs that the politics of the Iraq war are being
reshaped by the continuing tide of bad news. Take this month in Iraq,
with 47 U.S. troops killed in the first 15 days. That's already five
more than the toll for the entire month of June last year. With the
rate of insurgent attacks near an all-time high and the war's cost set
to top $230 billion, more politicians on both sides of the aisle are
responding to opinion polls that show a growing number of Americans
favoring a withdrawal from Iraq. Republican Sens. Lincoln Chafee and
Lindsey Graham have voiced their concerns. And two Republicans,
including the congressman who brought "freedom fries" to the Capitol,
even joined a pair of Democratic colleagues in sponsoring a bill
calling for a troop withdrawal plan to be drawn up by year's end. "I
feel confident that the opposition is going to build," says Rep. Ron
Paul, the other Republican sponsor and a longtime opponent of the war.
Sagging polls. The measure is not likely to go anywhere, but Hagel
calls it "a major crack in the *****." Whether or not that's so, the
White House has reason to worry that the assortment of critiques of
Bush's wartime performance may be approaching a tipping point. Only 41
percent of Americans now support Bush's handling of the Iraq war, the
lowest mark ever in the Associated Press-Ipsos poll. And the Iraq news
has combined with a lethargic economy and doubts about the president's
Social Security proposals to push Bush's overall approval ratings near
all-time lows. For now, most Republicans remain publicly loyal to the
White House. "Why would you give your enemies a timetable?" asks House
Majority Leader Tom DeLay. "[Bush] doesn't fight the war on news
articles or television or on polls."
Still, the Bush administration is planning to hit back, starting this
week, with a renewed public-relations push by the president. Bush will
host Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim Jafari and has scheduled a major
speech for June 28, the anniversary of the handover of power to an
Iraqi government from U.S. authorities. But Congress's patience could
wear very thin going into an election year. "If things don't start to
turn around in six months, then it may be too late," says Hagel. "I
think it's that serious."
Bush's exit strategy--which depends on a successful Iraqi political
process--got a boost last week when Sunni and Shiite politicians ended
weeks of wrangling over how to increase Sunni representation on the
constitution-writing committee. Now, however, committee members have
less than two months before their mid-August deadline. And given how
long it took to resolve who gets to draft the document, it's hard to
imagine a quick accord on the politically explosive issues they face.
