Time for Conservatives to "Cut and Run" from Bush








By John W. Lillpop


According to a new poll sure to put a damper on birthday festivities at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, nearly half of the American people want impeachment proceedings to begin against President Bush.

With the Bush approval numbers hovering around 29 percent, the stage is being set for an unprecedented, and most forgettable, moment in American history: That is,the impeachment of consecutive presidents.

Clearly this was not the birthday present GW Bush was expecting in honor of his sixty-first.

And if that news were not distressing enough, Bush suffered another major Republican defection from his Iraq war policy when Senator Pete Domenici of New Mexico called for an immediate change in U.S. strategy that could end combat operations by spring 2008.

Domenici joins Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio and Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana as recent GOP converts who have abandoned Bush on his signature issue.

With the 2008 elections just over one year away, Bush is likely to find himself more and more isolated on the Iraq war, immigration, and other crucial issues that GOP candidates running for office will have to explain in order to gain voter support.

To the chagrin of those who have supported Bush through thick and thin for six plus years, the president seems oblivious to the fate of his fellow Republicans and the party in general.

More distressing still, the president seems more concerned with his personal legacy than with the future of America, the nation's sovereignty, and preservation of American culture and language.

As the days of summer pass, look for more and more Republicans to desert GW Bush in much the same way he has deserted conservatives time and time again.

As autumn leaves start to fall, one can only hope that a few gutsy and patriotic GOP leaders will stage a "conservative revolution" by working to dump Mel Martinez as RNC Chairman, and by making official their disengagement from GW Bush, worst president in American history.

Unless such a revolution is forthcoming, and soon, the Republican party is doomed to join GW Bush in the dustbin of history as a complete failure.
