The peasants are revolting.
Bob Novack, in back-to-back columns, tells us that Republican Senators, all of whom were actually elected as opposed to appointed, are getting a little tired of the Bushies high-handed ways:
First there is the tax cuts.
Sen. George Voinovich of Ohio, a deficit hawk who usually supports the Bush administration line, rose during a closed-door conference of Republican senators Wednesday to severely criticize President Bush's tax-cut plan.
Voinovich was followed by a half dozen other GOP senators also negative about their president's major initiative. None has gone on record against it, fostering hope at the White House that the tax-cut critics can be turned around.
Then there is "the road to war":
Republican senators gathering last Wednesday for their session-opening "retreat" should have been happy, blessed with a regained majority and a popular president. They were not. Instead, they complained bitterly of arrogance by the Bush administration, especially the Pentagon, in treatment of Congress along the road to war.
Two years of growing discontent boiled over during the closed-door meeting at the Library of Congress. White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card was there to hear grievances from President Bush's Senate base that it is ignored and insulted by the administration, particularly Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, in preparing war against Iraq. Furthermore, recital of complaints began with Sen. John Warner, a pillar of the Senate GOP establishment.
This is a disconnected time in Washington. Republican senators appreciate that they have returned to majority status thanks to George W. Bush's bold midterm election strategy and his popularity leading the war against terrorism. Yet their unease about a divided administration on the brink of attacking Iraq is deepened because they are neither consulted nor informed about war plans.
By criticizing President George W Bush they are only giving aid and comfort to America's enemies. Why do all these Republican Senators hate America?
heh heh heh
