Bush-hating is so two years ago

[Autonomy]

Conservatives are lining up to bash the president on his spending, spying, and immigration stance, and they're not bothering to wait behind the Democrats who've been bashing Bush for years. So does this bipartisan Bush-bashing mean the Democrats are finally in a position to win an election this year?

Watch closely as Republican talking heads are trying to throw a curve ball by us: Scarborough recently HAMMERED Bush, but made sure to spread the blame to two other entities, namely the phone companies and the DEMOCRATIC Congresspersons. Not the Republicans. He blames the Democrats, and Pelosi by name, for not telling us about the NSA spying before now.

Yeah, Scarborough is just full of shit. Democrats in Congress have been shut out of the information loop since 2001, and they don't have the power to change things anyway. And Republicans want to keep it that way.

Keep your eye on the ball, people. Bush-bashing gets us nothing if balloonheads can manage to hold back the Republican hemorrhaging seats in Congress. They're greasing the ball. They're going with the flow and blaming Bush and the Democrats in Congress, and a lot of us are swinging at a ball in the dirt because of our longstanding hatred of Bush.

The Republicans' newfound dislike of Bush is disingenuous. They know which way the wind blows, and they're not going to spit into it. But remember, Bush isn't up for reelection. Congress is. And if Republican shills can manipulate the distribution of blame for the crises of the last five years equally, the Repubs just might win the seats they need to keep Congress. Remember they don't need to win the majority of seats up for grabs this time around. Winning a few will be enough to keep them, and Bush, in power for another two, long, agonizing years.
