GOP disillusionment with Bush grows

While die-hard Republicans try to present a unified front in support of
President George W. Bush's evasion of the law and Constitution in
ordering nonstop spying on Americans, splits are showing in the GOP ranks.
"What's wrong with it is several-fold," former GOP Congressman Bob Barr
says of the domestic spying. "One, it is bad policy for our government
to be spying on American citizens through the National Security Agency.
Secondly, it's bad to be spying on Americans without court oversight.
And thirdly, it's bad to be spying on Americans apparently in violation
of federal laws against doing it without a court order."
Barr, one of the most conservative members of Congress when he served in
the House, leads an increasing group of disenchanted Republicans who
have had enough of Bush's misuse of the law and encroachment of civil
liberties that are supposed to be protected by the Constitution. He has
joined with fellow conservative firebrand Phyllis Schlafly and the
ultra-liberal American Civil Liberties Union to fight renewal of many of
the rights-robbing provisions of the USA Patriot Act.
And he's not alone. Republican Senators Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, Larry
Craig of Idaho and Olympia Snowe of Maine question Bush's actions along
with Pennsylvania Republican Arlen Specter, chairman of the powerful
Senate Judiciary Committee.
"I have grave doubts as to its applicability," says Specter. "The
President's actions raise very fundamental questions about privacy and
the Bill of Rights."
Republican strategists tell me House Speaker Dennis J. Hastert and
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist are fighting to hold GOP dissension
over the President's policies in check but they may not be able to keep
the anger from spilling over into public view.
Frist, hampered by questions over his insider stock sale of Hospital
Corporation of America holdings, couldn't keep GOP anger from helping
derail Bush's push to make the USA Patriot Act a permanent law of the land.
"The White House is particularly pissed at Frist," says one longtime GOP
consultant. "They want him out as majority leader and a more hardball
leader in the style of Tom DeLay in his place."
Bush is also angry with Craig, a conservative who joined with Democrats
in a filibuster to defeat permanent renewal of the Patriot Act. As a
meeting recently, Bush referred to Craig as "a goddamned traitor" and
told the National Republican Senatorial Committee to start recruiting
someone to run against the Idaho Senator in the GOP primary in 2008.
Such anger against those who dare oppose him is typical for a President
who all too often launches into obscene tirades when his policies are
questioned. Bush, on many occasions, has called political opponents
"traitors' and, in private, refers to Senate Judiciary Chairman Arlen
Specter as a "lily-livered *****."
Craig, however, is unfazed by all this and says the Patriot Act "doesn't
do enough to protect the civil liberties of innocent Americans."
And while Criag, Hagel, Snowe and Specter are willing to speak out
publicly about the illegal actions of a President who is a member of
their own party, other Republicans stick to grumbling in private - not
surprising given the President's reputation for waging wars of revenge
against those who oppose him.
"Bush may be under siege but he is still the President," says political
scientist George Harleigh, who served in the Nixon Administration. "He
still has the power to reward those who back his policies and punish
those who do not."
Another political scientist, the University of Virginia's Larry Sabato,
says Bush has problems and knows it.
"Things are bad," Sabato says of Bush's situation. "Really bad." Sabato
says you can tell that Bush knows this because it is "written all over"
Bush's face when he appears in public.
So he has a message for the President.
"The lesson is obvious, Mr. President: You're a lot closer to Nixon than
you are to Eisenhower, Reagan, and Clinton. And that's not where you
want to be. Nixon's second term ended rather badly, as you will recall."

about wiretap, it requires -- a wiretap requires a court order. Nothing has
changed, by the way. When we're talking about chasing down terrorists, we're
talking about getting a court order before we do so"
-George W. Bush, April 20, 2004

Ethical members of Congress is an oxymoron, imo.
