Karl Rove needs to go to Washington and testify under oath - now analysis that.

It certainly wouldn't break my heart to see the Republican party lose power in Washington and the rest of the country. It certainly wouldn't break my heart to see the christian right lose a strangle hold on Washington and the rest of the country. I may not like Republicans, however, they did serve a useful purpose and that was to control & curb spending & the socialist agenda that the Democrats bring with them. Over the course of the last few years, I've been a little dismayed with the open floodgates on spending, which the Republicans had always claimed they wanted to control. No, I won't be sorry to see the Republicans lose big in the fall.

Corrupt through and through; Liars all; Deception, obfuscation, mud slinging, war mongering and utterly greed driven, all of them. G O P doesn't spell GOD, although they'd like you to think it does.

In trouble, yes, that is why they will lose the election this year. Can't be any more concise than that.

Why is anyone surprised that the GOP is in trouble when they're counting on McBomb to lead them out of abyss?

McSANE IS AN INCOHERENT, INCOMPETENT, ARROGANT OLD GEEZER WHO WON'T STOP AT NOTHING!

HE AND THAT "IDIOTIC LUNATIC" BUSH BELONG TOGETHER - THAT IS THAT NEITHER ONE OF THEM IS FIT TO CRAWL UNDERNEATH A ROCK AND I DO BELIEVE WE ALL KNOW WHAT CRAWLS UNDERNEATH A ROCK!

NOW IF ONE CANNOT COMPREHEND THE ABOVE, THEN OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE NOT FIT TO CRAWL UNDERNEATH A ROCK AS WELL.

Alice Newman Wow, You get it!! America is not about the him or her its about ME!!!!

The GOPs troubles can be traced to three things: 1. George W. Bush, 2. Dick Cheney and 3. Donald Rumsfeld. I hear the Hague is a nice place to visit thi stime next year. Hope the three of them are looking forward to it.

People are quick to bring up Rev. Wright because they can't find nothing else to pick on Obama about. But what about McCain's religious friends? How come no one ask McCain how often he goes to church, if he goes to church at all?

It's amazing that many preach about separation of church and state, yet religion has become front and center during the campaign with Rev Wright.

A TRUE Christian would know not to judge and let God handle Rev. Wright and move on. The key word is TRUE.

I like Obama. I like his ideas about education and I agree with his policy in Iraq. I just can not support him because of his failure to vote for a ban on partial birth abortion. I can't vote for him and have the blood of hundreds of babies on my hands.

What did we get from 7 years of GOP, failed government, weak dollar, weak military (stretched out), high inflation, bad economy, high gas prices, high food prices, in hole with social security budget, high health care cost, jobs loesses, stupid foreign policy that is making our enemies stronger. What a mess.

The Bush family has used thugs like Karl Rove to do their dirty work for years. The GOP has stood by and let themselves be bullied by Rove and Tom Delay, not to mention a variety of officeholders who were elected to represent conservative values only to be perverts.

The GOP is going to get what the DEMs did in 94. It is about time.

I hope we never elect a lying, secretive, abusive group ever ever again. More damge has been done than we can imagine. How in the world does tax cuts and fighting a costly war translate into making the budget in the black. Only attack dog politics can make that work.

I pray that the DEms have the guts to sustain this push thru November.

What is amazing is that Bush still has 27% of the people approve of his job performance…I am sure all die-hard GOP.

GOP ….I hope you get what is coming to you!! Maybe Fox News can hire a bunch of you out of work losers

"Don't be fooled. If you think the GOP is in trouble, you do not understand what you are looking at" - like the loyal, unthinking Republican who are blind in one eye and can't see out of the other!

The GOP had 6 years of unbridled power: Their legacy is war, 4000+ dead and 30,000 wounded, Walter Reed, Katrina and New Orleans, their leader reading My Pet Goat as the Twin Towers fell, illegal wiretapping, the country no more ready to prevent terrorist attacks but we all have to take of our shoes and belts …

Recession, housing market a disaster, high gas prices, huge deficit, and scandal after scandal: Abramoff, DeLay, Cunningham, Ohio Repubicans, Vitter, Craig, Foley, and Dick H who protected him: Trent Lott - elected to 6 year term - served one before becoming a lobbyist -
and on and on …

The GOP leadership of our country is symbolized by the Bridge to No Where while our real bridges collapse.

The Republican had their chance. They pi$$ed away. Too bad - so sad. The country is in a shambles and rational Americans know who did the dirty deed. NO second chances for the GOP!

They are so inept that the didn't know their new slogan was the same one used for an anti-depression drug … or maybe they did?

Doesn't matter what the losers are saying and trying to do , stupid attacks and lies don't work anymore … I'm a 58 years old white female that loves this country a lot but I'm not proud of it white this dumb president that took this nation to a non sense war and made us weak and vulnerable in the last eight years. So , I'm glad and happy that , for the first time in many years we're going to have an intelligent,high level culture president !!! Welcome president OBAMA !!!

Bohmer is in error, Bush is on the ballot. Republican congressmen supported all of Bush's failed policies, sustained his vetoes, favored the wealthy, put this nation into deep debt and must answer for the deaths of 4,000 of our citizens in an unworthy war: this occurred on their watch and McCain is asking American voters to let in another Trojan horse to do more of the same.

Where were the Republicans when the world condemned Bush's follies? Where was courage,, opposition, independent thought and responsibility? The Piper must be paid.

I'm going to vote for the person who's political ideology and values most closely resembles the mainstream/center of America. I have studied the BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY and have found that I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING IN COMMON WITH IT's TEACHINGS and/or BELIEFS. Further, it did not take me 20 years to realize this either. It is truly amazing that so many have either been fooled, have not researched what BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY stands for, or are just plain ignorant as it relates to history. Obama's BLACK LIBERATION beliefs are certainly not what this country was founded on. You shall see how wrong Obama is for America come November!

Wow I can relate. It is what it is. Americians are working it out. We are not evil within and without. We have seen. We have made up our minds. "We" will now choose. Yet remember this " We were never asleep. In WWII we were overlooked, In our war for Independance and freedom we had a saying. "Dont Tread On Me" This party has forgotten their true U.S. Flag pins. We are a free people, an we know we have a goverenment for the people, ruled by the people. Even if we have to wait eight ( years too bring it back to the people

We are all the ones in trouble. The reason Bush was able to screw up this country was he had a majority in congress and all legislation was green lighted. Now we are going to go the opposite way. Our taxes will go up. That is not too bad, but the ones that will benefit are not the poor. The people who make between 100K and 500K will see big breaks. If we put both houses of congress and the Presidency into one party's hand shame on us. It is and always has been a bad scenario. Bush, Carter, etc……. have we not learned. We get mad at a party, not the smart thing to do. We need to look at the individual's, not the party as a whole. Wholesale change is not a good thing.

So what "Jim"… should we have canceled the primary season back in January and handed Clinton the nomination then?

Should we throw all the votes away and give Clinton the nomination as an act of charity because all her supporters are threatening to vote for McCain.

You may be stalwart in voting McCain now, but come November 95% of those Clinton supporters will vote Obama.

If Clinton were more electable then she would have won THIS election. Unfortunately she didn't, we can't abandon the results now and give the loser the win.

"Charlotte" you are a simple minded fool. You aren't going to make a difference in the election. People like you make me sick.

You are a sore loser who can't stand that your weak candidate lost.

Clinton can't manage her own campaign never mind the country.

She is also a big time liar.

Once Clinton starts campaigning for Obama, her other, more educated, less ignorant supporters will come around and vote Obama. It took 3 months for them to get attached to Clinton, Obama has 6 months to get them back.

Obama WILL win.

I have news for all the people who say things like "People just aren't ready to vote for someone like Obama, so McCain will win"

Just because YOU don't like him, and some people you know don't like him, doesn't mean it is representative of the nation.

What I believe are the voters who came out and voted for Obama and gave him more popular vote than any other candidate in the race, Democrat or Republican.

What I believe is the polling that puts Obama ahead of McCain nationally.

What I believe is public opinion toward the republicans.

Just because YOU don't like Obama, doesn't mean he isn't going to win.

If you are willing to vote for McCain over Obama, because you are bitter Clinton lost, then you have no right to complain about ANYTHING in this country because you are only helping to make it worse.

You people are so naive. Hillary is nothing but a liar who preys on the poor, uneducated, and elderly. Oh and did I meniton the feminist who would vote for HIllary because she's a women regardless of the fact she can't seem to tell the truth. Why do you think a majority of Americans have an unfavorable view of her?

And the Democrats just whistle by the graveyard as both of their "rock star" candidates tear the party apart. If "rock star" means strung out on drugs and adored by people for no apparent reason, then I guess Barack and Hillary fit the bill.

Experience counts! There is only one man who has presidential experience in dealing with our current economy and foreign policy: George Bush! Would you vote for him again? I think we need to qualify experience and not quantify it. Do we really want Clinton or McCain/Bush experience with all of its corruption and incompetence? Or would we settle for a lesser quantity with much, much higher quality? I do believe that as things get worse and worse, Americans will be forced to finally vote in accordance with their best interests rather than for those who pander to their intolerance, fear and bigotry.

Wow this is the first blog where I can relate to 95% of the bloggers. It is what it is. Americians are not stupid, nor evil within and without. We have seen. We have made up our minds. "We" will now choose. Yet remember this " We were never asleep. In WWII this was overlooked, In our war for Independance and freedom we had this saying. "Dont Tread On Me" This party has forgotten their true U.S. Flag pins. We are a free people, an we know we have a goverenment for the people, ruled by the people. Even if we have to wait eight (8) years too bring it back to the people

Good, good, good news********************************

I tend to believe as so many other posters on this board that the Republican at the top of the ticket will win the GE. The Democrat leadership has no one to blame but themselves. The left has hijacked this primary, the way they have done it is blantant hypocrisy. After weeks of considering this, and after months of research into what each candidate stands for, I have come to the conclusion that divided government is preferred over having the SOCIALIST LEFT of the democratic party taking over all three branches of Government. This will to some degree keep this country in the center where it belongs. I have always been one to speak out for issues that were of concern to all Americans, therefore I plan to speak out to others who are moderate democrats and I will do everything that I can to see to it that the SOCIALIST LEFT led by OBAMA lose's in the GE. I feel that this will also affect some county, and state races as well. The LEFTIST WINGNUTS of the DNC has destroyed the Democratic Party!

MORE KARL ROVE MORE KARL ROVE. this mcbush/rove/idiots are the best insurance obama has of moving to the white house. THEY EVEN DEFEND IRAQ,ECONOMY,GAS PRICES,NO HEALTH CARE, NO CARE FOR OUR VETS AND I AM ONE—they defend this and do personal attacks to get people not to think about this:

BUSH INVADED IRAQ IN SPITE OF ALL THE INTELLEGENCE REPORTS AND WE HAVE LOST MORE LIVES IN IRAQ THAN WHAT THEY SAID CAUSED THE WAR—911. this group of idiots have be BITTER–YES — BITTER. webster says bad taste in my mouth for thise group who has taken this country back into the dark ages. BITTER BITTER BITTER. i need to wash out their mouth with reality.

note: white,vet,businessman, church goer,owns guns–and what else, of yes i care about all our citizens.

If Brian (above) is a stereotype Republican than you Americans
are realy in trouble!
It is scaring to see and read so many hatefull comments here.
I am an European from the Netherlands and we all here verry
hopeful about Barack Obama. Your country need realy a big
change in politics. The whole world has seen the damage
off the Rep. Bush politics. If you not changing your politics there
will be more 9/11 attacs and the Americans are the only one who
will ask for what reason. I will be verry sorry for the victims because
they alle will be innosent but you way off politics has made a real mess off this world.

Vote for Barack Obama and you can urn respect again.

Now they're going to try to tear down the Republicans because everyone is so "hell bent" on helping Obama win. This is disgusting. It's like all of the new media and everyone else wants this guy as our president and he doesn't even have any special qualifications. We all have our "own" hope we don't need him saying it too. Hope is something we all had all along. When things get bad we hope for something good to come along - he's just a suit with words. Hillary is the action behind the suit. Vote Hillary

You BET the GOP's in trouble, and they SHOULD be! After all the ballyhoo about their being the true majority party, they certainly didn't act in the interests of the majority of citizens. Their free trade policies sent millions of jobs overseas, they've all but destroyed regulatory agencies' ability to act on behalf of the common good by turning them into clearing houses for the benefit of big business, they've overwhelmingly supported the illegal war in Iraq, they've stonewalled and supported the worst president in our history repeatedly, they've repeatedly employed the use of wedge issues, name-calling, distortion, and dirty campaigning to win elections, and they've blocked national health care, among many other things. This conservative-dominated era of the GOP has ruined this country. They should be ashamed and get out of government altogether, as it's clear they have no clue how to govern!

Congress has low approval ratings because it still contains republicans.

While Rush Limbaugh was praising the success of Operation Chaos millions of voters were added to the Democratic ranks. Helping to keep Hillary alive stroked his ego, but the unintended results of the ongoing race between Obama and Clinton has raised interest and votes that have, and will come back to haunt the Republican Party in November. If Rush would of allowed Hillary to get knocked out of the race as she should of been months ago, the Republicans wouldn't be in the doomsday mode today.

Hey people, it's six Months to November. We may be looking at a whole new picture of this election by then.

Why is it that so many people are getting off on instant news that changes from one minute to the next? Is it because we have damaged our children's brains for the last 30 years with drugs and now they've grown up to be suffering addicts on withdrawal?

If people continue to keep hopping around like rabbits on uppers, it may be necessary to put them back on some type of meds that will settle them down so they last up to the election.

WHO were the crazy people that gave 7 million dollars to the Republicans?

The Republicans have the Rove/Bush effect and the American people have seen what that has done to their country over the years. The Republican new slogan is " The change you deserve" the same slogan for antidepressant drug. But that's all they can offer is lip service. I will vote Democrat this time.

Now hear this GOP, you have run our country into the ground, and we are fed up. Your dirty campaigning and fear mongering will not work this time, which is unfortunate for you because that is all you've got. There is no way any of you can compete on the issues so instead you are trying to scare people and it is not going to work!!!!!!!

The Democrats need to be aware of one and only one fact:

If Hillary is anywhere near the democratic ticket, it will certainly re-energize the Republican base (even though they are weak). The focus will all be on Hillary and not the front-runner.

Have the Clintons not already served this nation? Look at their record, especially the last year in office. The last year in office (recency) for any president says a lot to the voters! This is for the Dems to screw things up by sticking with Dynasty rather than "opportunity to perform."

I see a lot of Republicans posing as Clinton supporters on these blogs. Wath it Dems. - they are out to destroy us..Democrats, unite! Democrats 08!

the republican is in trouble every where around the country they know the trouble.People like (BILL BENNETT) need to go away. the president does the same thing everything is going well. It appears to me all of your republicans are the same , trying to pull wool over some one eyes.THE VOTER ARE NO FOOL THEY SEE PERFECTLY CLEAR (THERE ARE THE HAVES AND THE HAVE MORE). iT APPEARS IT GOING TO BE THE (DEMS) THAT ARE GOING TO HAVE MORE

yes,they are in trouble.the gop has destroyed our country with their illegal occupation of iraq.they have tens of thousands of deaths in iraq,to answer for,including 4060+ american lives,sent to their death,in a foriegn country for nothing. i predict bush,cheney ,rumsfeld,and their administration,will be on trial for war crimes,within a few years.how will it look,if our president,[theoretically john mccain],is an ardent supporter of an administration,responsible for war crimes.

lol Rove says the election is about the issues

I just donated to the DNC.

Democrats 08!!

The message isn't what really matters anymore, Mr. Rove. It's what is actually done that counts. That never seems to be the same as the message.

Of course the GOP is in trouble! A Republican congress and unelected Republican president took an America with a balanced budget that was paying down its debt and at peace, and transformed it into a fiscally and militarily weakened empire-wannabe. When they were warned by their own security advisors in August of 2001 that Al Qaida was planning something BIG and possibly within our borders, Bush responded with…yet ANOTHER month long vacation on his "ranch" ! The last 7 years have made clear that the GOP cares only about "democracy" for the super-wealthy, or for foreign peoples unlucky enough to live atop a lot of oil. They would do well to simply not run for office at all this time around!

The GOP is in some trouble, and they should be in a lot more trouble.

The problem is that there are a lot of pundants and opinion-based news reports and anchors who are working real hard to make sure the "Reagan democtrats" vote republican.

Case in point…. the newsie channels (you know who you are) continue to play the "race issue" that was raised in the exit polls from West Virginia. The issue was, if I remember, that 40% of the people in the exit polls said that race was an issue in how they voted… no one has ever mentioned the breakdown of the race of those who were polled. If 40 african americans were polled and they all said "yes" and 60 caucasian americans were polled and they all said "no", the math says that the answer would be 40%. It would be a hypocritical shame if the newsie channels and John Edwards fell victim to a scam… or used slight of hand to sink the chances of the first serious woman candidate in the history of the country.

Shame on all of you !

Everyone who says Obama has no chance in November, can just keep right on saying that for all I care, all the way up until he wins in November. You can't stop what's coming.

This means nothing. Mississippi used to be solidly Democratic…….remember the Dixie-crats? Half the Republicans in congress are probably more forward thinking than Childress. The man won because he convinced a majority of voters that he was backward thinking like them. I don't care what party you are in, if you can attract the backward thinkers in that part of Ole Miss, you will win.

GOP will eventually fall back on scare tactics about terrorism, abortion, and gay marriage to stay competitive….. same old people doing the same old dirty politics that have nothing to do with the issues….

The GOP sense the impending destruction of the Obama-tsunami and fear being washed out to sea. Rightly so. They are abandoning ship and seeking higher ground….but they don't know where it is! Scurrying into lobbyist positions won't save them and the bell is tolling, tolling, tolling. Charges of "Treason!" may soon echo across the land and many of us hope the guillotine makes an historic comeback!

What do they expect? They had the White House and Congress, and look what they did. It's too bad those who voted for them couldn't have had the foresight to prevent such government that has left our country so wounded.

We just need give a chance to others citizen to lead this country.

The GOP doesn't have to raise a dime to beat Obama. He'll do that all by himself. HILLARY VOTERS WILL GO MCCAIN. I KNOW I WILL. Obama won't win the important swing states. Game's over Obamabots. Happy now?

There is anyway ,Hillary can drop out the race because she's in debt for her campain 20million and she just wanna hurt the democrat .And we need unite the party.I think if it was Obama in Hillary position ,he's gonna drop out no matter what.But since the clinton don't quit,we gonna see what gonna happened.This time she's gonna drop out because we are tired to the old washington politic.This new generation of young student wanna trie something new,not Clinton or Bush.

They are in trouble, and they only need to look at themselves. They have had 8 years to serve the American people, and have only lied to us, and taken care of themselves and their special interest lobbiests. We need a President that puts the people of this country first.

It is real that Republicans have sent the US to a remarkable lower world in every aspect among Economy, International reputation and a terrible loss of lives of young Americans in Iraq.Some have unnecessarily lost their parents and some their husbands, partiners.

Please vote them out so that you can get back to where the world is used to place the US among nations. Vote them out in order to restore your respect.

Call me selfish, call me disloyal, call me racist, call me anything you want, Obama people–but I will never be un patriotic and vote for the Obamas. I have always loved America and cannot and will not vote for someone who does not. No one that I know cares about the Democratic party who has been so disloyal to the Clintons and their supporters. Your threats are useless. Vote for your terrorist appeaser and I will vote for my Patriotic war hero and gentleman who has much knowledge and experience. Good-bye democrats! Hello Americans!

People can shake their heads all they want, the Republicians may
in DEEP,DEEP trouble, but if Obama is the nominee they are going
to win. People are just not comfortable with Obama as President,

THE REPUBLICANS ARE TOAST !!!! YOU ASK WHY? LET ME TELL YOU 2 REAS0NS BUSH AD CORRUPTION !!!!!!

"Meanwhile, the congressional Democrats raised over $44 million for the upcoming campaign, while Republicans have only pulled in an estimated $7 million."

Hmmmm, hey GOP. Since I'm not really worried about Hillary anymore, it seems like somebody needs a loan, LOL!!!!! I'll hook you guys up but this time with a high tax increase…….and trust me, it'll be very high than Hillary's, LOL!!!!! Just call me GOP if you want a deal……..and it has to be MY WAY……….

they should be $5 gas and rising unemployment food prices . housing crisis etc war in iraq truckers cant cope with diesel costs wait until summer if mc should win we are dead

These idiots had Cheney campaign for them, it is no wonder they lost. I think I like Cheney less then I like Bush, and that is going some. We Americans tend to vote for a balance of power. If we think we will have a Republician President, we tend to elect Democrats to Congress. Stupid, but true. If Obama is the nominee, we will lose the White House. We Reagan Democrats vote for country above party. Obama fits the mold of Dukakis, Mondale, and Kerry. I might add they were not black, they were just too far to the left. I will write Hillary Clinton on my ballot in November, she is better then all of the others combined.

Yes the GOP is in big trouble! McCain has so many wholes in the ship he has been trying to sail it is not even funny. Not only does he contradict himself he is also not informed about many issues, including in the area of foreign affairs-which is suppose to be his strength! You Tube video clip TheRealMcCain shows it all (http://therealmccain.com/). The question is what can the GOP do to fix the problem?

IT IS TIME FOR A REAL CHANG GO OBAMA !YES WE CAN!

It's a Big, Big Country, is the USA…

GOP is full intolerant privlige poeple who do not give s**t about american people all they care is about their walet and power,
it's about time that people start seeing it.

The failed policies of Congress were brought about by the foot dragging republicans and a president that used his veto pen to stop anything meaningful and they are going to be getting jobs as lobbyists on k street making even more money than they stole in office.

Travis Childers is a conservative Democrat … pro life and pro gun … so this is not necessarily a sign that the votes will go for liberal candidates … especially Obama.

in trouble?

No… they will just scare people into voting for them……….

Vote for us or Hitler will come back to life marry the boogie monster and end life as we all know it……… oh yeah and gays will be able to marry unless you vote for us!

The Republicans are on the Titanic, and they burned their lifeboats by continuing to support a failed war and failed policies. The NeoTards will have to be pruned from the party if it is ever to rise again…

I AM A LIFE LONG DEMOCRAT.

I LOVE ALL MY AMERICANS & I MEAN ALL.

REPUBLICANS IN THIS COUNTRY ARE NOT THE HATEFUL

THUGS THAT HAVE BEEN REPRESENTING THEM.

THE REST NEED TO STAND UP & STAND DOWN THE MORONS

THAT PROMOTE BIGOTRY, HATE, & THE LOOTING OF THIS

WONDERFUL NATION.

Don't be fooled. If you think the GOP is in trouble, you do not understand what you are looking at. You cannot see the forest for the trees. The GOP is not in trouble but the Democrats will pay dearly for the negativity and divisiveness of this campaign. The DNC is a joke and we will all see why before this election is over. Well done Karl Rove, well done……………

Of course they are and they knew it coming in,thats why they bought Hillary.

I think they are in trouble because the war dont go so good and the economy is weakend. And people want better healthcare that GOP is against because of ideology. If the only way they can win is about to play on fear and homofobic rethoric i hope the democrats wins a landslide and kick away GOP after GOP in battels for congres and senate seat.

The Republicans need to keep putting Karl Rove out there everyday. Nothing will unite the Democratic Party faster! Unless, of course, it is Bush and Chaney on the campaign trail with McCain.
