GOP voters want someone who’s not like Bush
By Domenico Montanaro
Political Researcher
NBC News Oct 3, 2007

WASHINGTON - When it comes to looking for a presidential nominee, Republican voters may not want a full divorce, but they certainly want at least a trial separation from President Bush.

In the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll out Wednesday night, about half of all Republicans (48 percent) want a candidate who takes a “different approach” from that of the president, while just 38 percent want a “similar approach.” This is a reversal from April, the last time the question was asked, when 50 percent wanted a candidate who took a similar approach as opposed to 41 percent who wanted a different one.

2. When I take on a difficult job and my efforts are not particularly
successful, I question my approach.
We tried to tell these jaspers that putting and keeping these dorks in power was a bad idea, but they wouldn't listen.

Why, oh why, then, should we or they make any assumption that they have any notion of how to handle the difficult jobs of keeping the world together?
They are demonstrably INCOMPETENT, dammit!
Their opinions and ideas have zero validity.

4. When they say they want a "Reagan" Republican, they need look no further than the guy they have now.
He's the ultimate "Reagan" candidate and they're gearing up to pretend he was never president.

5. What their suppressed minds are trying to contemplate that cannot get past the barriers of denial
is that Royal Bushies are neither Republicans nor Democrats, though they have enslaved the Republican and apparently, the Democratic Party, too.

The Royal Bushies and their Loyal Bushies are nothing less than authoritarian autocratic tyrants, and about as American as a British Royal Court gathering, circa 1772.

But the layers and layers of false reality propaganda bullshit, and the basic truth of Hitler's comment about the success of the Big Lie on the weak-minded, keeps them from mentally articulating this, keeps a barrier in the way of what is becoming daily a more obvious and ironclad truth.

But that is what this atricle is about, even if the uneasy disquiet even in the bellies of the Loyal Bushies (the Little Nobodies, I mean, not the Hannities and the elite Loyal Bushies) is something they don't understand and can only articulate in this weak, indirect way.

An understatement. Yeah, like the Germans saying they want their next Fuhrer to be a little less like Hitler.

6. You mean like this:
“out of these troubled times, our objective – a new world order – can emerge.”
