Republicans say the strategy is designed to get them off the defensive
about their recent political problems, including scandals involving
high-profile party leaders and uproars over a now-dead Arab port deal
and a secret eavesdropping program.
Those difficulties have eaten away at public support for Bush and the
Republican-led Congress in recent polls.

Republicans try to change subject from Bush
By John Whitesides, Political Correspondent 29 minutes ago
WASHINGTON -
Republicans, beset by an array of political troubles, are cranking up
the attacks on Democrats and trying to change the subject from
President George W. Bush President George W. Bush ahead of November‘s
congressional elections.
With Bush slumping in the polls and Republicans on the defensive over
the Iraq war and a series of ethics scandals, the party wants to shift
the spotlight away from the White House by convincing voters that
Democratic rule would be a dangerous choice.
