Why the Republican Party Will Lose Come November

Posted in Bush Administration, personal, voting at 22:00 by Toby Petzold

I spoke for an hour or so this afternoon with my beloved aunt —a 71 year-old woman who livesĀ in the vicinity of the President’s ranch near Crawford. We talked mostly about family and her cats, but just as I had to go, she registered a very rare complaint.

Very rare.

My aunt —a staunch Republican, a God-fearing grandmother, and an old country girl living in the reddest patch of Red America— said of the President: “He just can’t get anything done.”

She may as well have called him a godless commie sonofabitch.

My aunt is very frustrated with our President.

And that, my friends, is the very definition of a bellweather tolling down upon this Administration’s heads.

When you lose my aunt, you’re very probably going to lose at least one house of the Congress. I would be surprised if it happens otherwise.
