I agree with Rick of WS, NC. Bush was asleep at the wheel before 9/11, and was taken to the woodshed for it by the 9/11 Commission (whose formation he lobbied furiously against, by the way). Instead of picking up from where the Clinton administration left off, Bush decided to start from scratch. Richard Clarke reported that he was unable to get his attention when it became clear that al queda was planning a major domestic attack.

After 9/11, Bush overreacted, tieing the attack wrongly to Saddam Hussein, and leading us into a war that has no end in sight. He was successful initially in Afghanistan, but is slowly losing ground to the Taliban. Meanwhile, Osama is still at large, but Bush trots him out in speeches when he needs to look like he is a stalwart warrior in the fight against global terrorism.

"I did not now there were any moderates left in the repub party."

Neither did I. I thought there were only two types of Republicans: right wing and those who enable the right wing such as Susan Collins of Maine or Gordon Smith of Oregon.

'"The moderate part of the party, which is going to be by definition less committed to some of the fundamental tenets that the party supports, will be the first part of the party to weaken," said Terry Nelson, a former Iowan who was a top adviser to President Bush's presidential campaigns.' That illustrates just how dismissive the GOP is of the political moderates that once were the backbone of the party. I also see comments here by conservatives that are indignant the Democrats are accepting moderates. I've got news for you, guys. Governments around the world work by establishing compromise among broad coalitions. Used to be the same here, before Newt Gingrich, Tom Delay, Karl Rove, and a broad array of conservative heroes in government and the media poisoned the well.

Dave, TN; Let me remind you that Clinton lobbed cruise missiles at the training camps in Afghanistan and warned the world that al Qaeda was the greatest terrorist threat in existence. Then Republicans in Congress and the entire right-wing noise machine went into overdrive claiming there was no al Qaeda threat and Clinton was just trying to divert attention from Monica Lewinsky. Then Bush took office and completely blew off any and all warnings right up until 9/11. Well done.

Just like in 2000, MSNBC/NBC and other media outlets are PUSHING MCCAIN on the GOP side. Every article now is about how McCAIN can and should win the GOP nod.

McCain is done! He will not place in Iowa and will not do better than third in New Hampshire. Then...it's over.

Dave, TN--Seven Years...OMG. You are right Dave.
America will not forget which party controlled, for the past seven years till '06, the Executive and Legislative and for the past two years the Judicial branches of Government.
Why is it that the only goal of Republican candidates for president is to beat Hillary?
Why should any Democratic be a threat?
After all The Republicans have had Seven years to create a permanent Reagan Morning in America.
Seven years to buff up the shinning city on the hill.
Seven years to create a permanent Republican majority so that America would be safe from "freaks"
Could it be that the Republicans have failed their nation? Could it be that they have sold it down the river by using fear to build power? Yet even with complete control of Government, even with bashing us with fear, even with the shredding of the Constitution and the evisceration of all oversight, they are in trouble with the American People and are destined to be sidelined for awhile. Not forever. Most thinking people want nothing to do a "permanent" Republican OR Democratic majority. Except of course for the "Architect". Turd Blossom and his kind wanted to destroy the opposition. They wanted a permanent Republican majority. Ain't gonna happen. A lot of people out there with their eyes wide open. A lot of people remember what happens you don't speak your mind to the bullies on the blogs and in the streets.

There are no moderates in the Republican party. Only extremists. Dangerous bastards armed to the teeth, believing it is their destiny to bring on Armageddon. Of course, their will and not God's will is what matters to them

What a bunch of drooling idiots trying to rewrite history in a failed attempt to avoid responsibility.

All of you are every bit as much of a clown as both the Clintons.

If there is a time you decide to mature try not to be too kind to yourselves...you don't deserve it.

Chris C/S, CO--Doesn't change the fact that as Bush goes down he drags your beloved Republican party with him. He is the reason your Legislators are heading for the backdoor. He is the corrupter of reasonable Conservatism which will cause your moderates to walk in '08 leaving you with some part of the fractured Fundamentalist base as the other fragments sell their convictions for a candidate that can "win" against Hillary. Your party has fallen hard and far. You are back to the single pathetic goal of beating a Clinton it the General election.
What did you people do with 7 years? Whatever it was certainly didn't further the interests our nation or inspire anyone other than those licking the bottom of their kool-aid cups.
I think you will find that most Americans have had enough mediocrity to last them at least two election cycles.
Dress warm, pack light, and enjoy the political wilderness.

Chris C/S, if you have some contrary information let's hear it. Otherwise you're demonstrating your own lack of maturity in choosing to engage in name calling rather than debate. Or you have nothing to refute what others have said so you're just engaging in the politics of personal destruction like your heroes.

Robert Chapman. Lansing, NY — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 14:24:56 GMT

I am disappointed with all the big three GOP candidates for pandering to the right.

Giuliani was elected Mayor of NYC on fusion ticket of GOP and Liberal. Yes NYS has a LIBERAL Party and Rudy was their savior.

Romney has a record of accomplishment as a moderate. His pandering to the right has completely shot his credibility.

McCain has gone from straight talk to bootlick in his support of disasterous Bush Administration policies. He has never stood up to them and has a straight party line voting record.

Although in the MSM only a Democrat can wear the flip-flopper title, all three of the top GOP candidates have the record to match the flip flop title.

The GOP rank and file's sanctimonious is nowhere as evident as it is in their tolerance of Giuliani, McCain and Romney's pandering.
