Rs cracking. Key Congressional Republicans thinking it might be best if GWB lost.

Three articles, all interesting.

First, this kinda drives a stake in the alleged reasons for the war. Though everyone knew it, including the pre-war CIA, and therefore GWB.

Admit WMD mistake, survey chief (David Kay, GWB appointee) tells Bush.

Not so serious, as it was a long time ago, is this, the attitudes of a privileged wealthy kid toward the rest of America.
At Harvard Business School, thirty years ago, George Bush was a student of mine. I still vividly remember him. In my class, he declared that "people are poor because they are lazy." He was opposed to labor unions, social security, environmental protection, Medicare, and public schools. To him, the antitrust watch dog, the Federal Trade Commission, and the Securities Exchange Commission were unnecessary hindrances to "free market competition." To him, Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal was "socialism." Recently, President Bush's Federal Appeals Court Nominee, California's Supreme Court Justice Janice Brown, repeated the same broadside at her Senate hearing. She knew that her pronouncement would please President Bush and Karl Rove and their Senators. President Bush and his brain, Karl Rove, are leading a radical revolution of destroying all the democratic political, social, judiciary, and economic institutions that both Democrats and moderate Republicans had built together since Roosevelt's New Deal.

And the result:

Key Republicans think it wouldn't be so bad if GWB were NOT reelected.

Still, it's early, and GWB has virtually unlimited funds.
