Tip-toeing around George W. Bush.

By Faiz Shakir on Aug 10th, 2007 at 4:15 pm

Tip-toeing around George W. Bush.»

The Financial Times reports that Republicans find President Bush politically radioactive but can’t say that publicly. “We are caught in a bind,” says a senior staffer on one of the campaigns. “We cannot attack George Bush because we would be punished for disloyalty by the party base. And we cannot endorse him because that would be suicide. So we tip-toe around.”

    Don’t fukc with Bush!


  2. rockyroad Says:

    GOP stock in trade: dishonesty and secrecy. Wonder which is more valuable.


  3. joemono Says:

    Translation: We have no balls.


  4. raynman Says:

    I think the word that you’re looking for isn’t ‘tip toeing’, it’s spineless.

    As in, too spineless to stand up for the good of the Republican Party and instead choose to cater to the capricious whims of a demented President and the caterwauling of a vocal entrenched but equally demented neo-con base.


  5. Menehune Says:

    I thought it was the Dems that were supposed to be spineless. Repugs are such strong He-Men they should be able to tackle this big stinking 500-lb gorrilla head on. What, no takers?

    No. You sure don’t!!


  7. Jason Baddo Says:

    the inept and incompetent party comes first….the interests of the nation simply a very distant second.


  8. Jim Says:

    #5: I thought it was the Dems that were supposed to be spineless.

    You were only partly right. Both parties are spineless. The difference between the parties is that the Republicans are not only spineless, but wrong.


  9. RUCerious Says:

    Here, let me assist.
    Bush is an idiot.

    There, now that wasn’t so hard, now, was it?

    Allow me, F*ck You George W.Bush.


  14. MN Dem Says:

    I think I’ll write some Questions to the CNN forum….It looks like I’ll have a good angle if I can tie to Bush….e.g., “Are you in agreement with George Bush’s spying on Americans?” or “Will you Continue George Bush’s surge in Iraq until you get victory as Bush promised?” “How will you continue with George Bush’s tax cuts for the wealthiest among us; and how much in taxes have you saved personally?” I invite more suggestions…..


  15. Chris Wolf Says:

    “We can’t do the ethical thing because it would hurt our chances of winning the nomination”.

    These guys are just disgustingly spineless.


  16. ronjazz Says:

    That’s it in a nutshell. Party over Country, failure over competence, tresason over patriotism. The GOP in all its gory. Even the trolls here won’t be able to salvage anything positive from this, these are Republicans, slipping up by telling the truth in whispers. Republicans are afraid to speak truth aloud, what an embarrassing way to live. I’m surprised there haven’t been far more suicides. Disappointed, too. well, not that surprised, given the yellow streak they all wear.

    Too bad Republicans have put themselves in a situation where they need to votes of the stupid.


  26. shane Says:

    VARNST, it looks like you upset the troll. High five, buddy.


  27. Ben B Says:

    So funny. The party base wants loyalty to Bush and his positions, but they hate those positions…


  28. jacqueline Says:

    Too republicans this is a team sport .
    Anything for the team .
    No matter that we now live like the chinese .
    Our food is not safe .
    Our air continues to be polluted .
    Our drugs cost more then anywhere in the world.
    We’re not profecient in math or science . ( may be the chinese have us on this one)
    We die younger.
    Our babies die.
    Our government only cares about the rich .
    Coporations used to pay 35% in taxes now only pay 17%.
    Rich people used to pay 33-35% noow pay 17%.
    Middle class now pays 35%.
    But to republicans it s all good as long as they can lie steal cheat to get the outcome they want.
    Basically by any means nessasary , nothing is off limits except calling bush a bad for the whole world president.
    Even though we know he is.

    In other words, we totally lack ethics or the courage of our convictions. We will not stand up and tell the truth for the good of the country if it might cause us loss of votes from the most contemptible segment of society.

    Screw the part base. Clearly they are morons who care less about America than they do about their own idiotic and radical agenda to harm others. Republicans take an oath to uphold the constitution…not the party base. Republicans, like all elected officials, work for ALL americans…not just the party base.

    Do you damn job Republicand and stand up for the values of ALL Americans. Otherwise you have nobody to blame but yourselves for being in the position you are in. You are helping Bush destroy everything that makes America great and blaming it on “the base” is irresponsible and cowardly. Be a man for once in your lives instead of always talking like one.

    Comment by MN Dem — August 10, 2007 @ 4:47 pm

    And now the mens room guy is saying he propositioned the guy because he is afraid of black men. Isn’t that what every racist does around black men, offer to blow one of them and give them money?

    If he was afraid of black men, why would he assume the guy was gay? That will put you in more danger as a general rule! Shouldn’t he have tried to make a drug score - and really used the stereotype to its max!

    Ah, poor little meltdown troll. When they’re this crazy you can never tell whether they’re angry, nuts, or so pathetically wacked out they think they’re funny and messing with people. What a sad and pathetic little GOP psycho…

    Wonder who they’re taking revenge on? Yeah, can’t imagine how many of you wingnuts have taken out your own self loathing on your fellow gays. How sad of you…


  99. The Republic of Stupidity Says:

    Yer letting p take over and set the agenda, folks.

    Is that what you really want, to have p in charge?

    ‘Cause he sure is right now!!!!

    Jes’ askin’, that’s all. Later…


  101. Badger Says:

    So the press should launch an anti-tiptoe strategy. They should ask the candidates…
    President Bush said this about that. Do you agree with him???


  102. bilbobaggins Says:

    Their inability to stand up to Bush is starting to have an affect on once loyal Republicans. I have 5 acquaintances who are Republicans. All five are furious with Bush and with the neoCONs who have, as they put it, “kidnapped my party”. They are all Goldwater type Republicans.

    And because of their representatives spinelessness and inability to stand up to Bush, four out of the five have told me that they will definitely be voting for any Democrat in the next election. The fifth is on the fence. Their reason for voting for “any” Democrat is that they think that a solid defeat in 2008 is the only way to wake up the party and get it back on track. I suspect that these people I know are pretty typical of Republicans who are not neoCONs. That’s probably why polls show that if the election were today 56% of the public would definitely vote for a Democrat over a Republican vs only 35% who would vote for a Republican over a Democrat. That means that there are quite a few Republicans in that 56%.

    Hey, if he wants to show everyone how stupid the GOP faithful is, and why the more rational republicans have all jumped ship - fine!

    He’s a great example of exactly why the GOP has so few people that want to vote for their hate.

    Please, it took him over a week to come up with this explanation. We’ll have to give him another month to make some sense.

    It’s doing a pretty good job of showing how hateful and why everyone is tip-toeing around Bush and the faithful!

    He’s a great example of why the GOP is the party of losers, why they can’t govern, can’t think, and can’t act like responsible americans.

    Don’t be so hard on yourself and the rest of the GOP! I’m sure you’re doing your best to hide in the closet!

    Heck, how long has it been since we’ve seen GW in a cheerleading outfit? See, doing your best to hide in the closet!

    It is fun. But we can take heart in knowing he suffers even more when we ignore him.

    Oh, look…she had cheese for lunch. Your feet must be all sniffed and licked for the day then, huh? I hope you enjoyed your side dish of corns.


  117. Jo-Ann Says:

    How do you spell ENABLER? Syncophants and frady cats are just feeding the beast. Dems to the rescue. It may be a total route given that so many Republicans vote in PRIVATE.


  118. Probus Says:

    Bush is unpopular because of his failed polices in Iraq. His inability to admit mistakes and see reality have cost the GOP control of Congress. It will also cost them the control of the presidency.


  119. Dave Says:

    I notice that the troll’s link is to a gay website. Any surprise there?

    Being homophobic gives closet cases an excuse and permission to talk about gay sex. It’s just self loathing and a perversion of their natural gay sexuality at work.


  121. chad Says:

    This administration keeps reminding me of Germany in the 30’s and 40’s controlling the media and controling strict adherence to the party line. No criticism is allowed or they will me labeled unpatriotic, unamerican, enabling the terrorist or creating enemy propaganda I guess today’s equivalent of being labeled a Jew in 40’s Germany. It is ironic that people like Kristol and O’Reily label democrats as Nazis when their parties’ policies create such fear of open discourse and fear of alienating a rather toxic voting base. Even Romney has to defend his position of ever having a different view on abortion. Republicans should look up the term conservative because they are no where near that sort of policy and create a more fitting term for themselves. (Rant Off)


  122. celtic cynic Says:

    Tip-toeing around George W. Bush.

    The Financial Times reports that Republicans find President Bush politically radioactive but can’t say that publicly.

    Why can’t they say that publicly? Are they chickenshit? Stupid? Afraid? (of what?)

    Screw the Enablers. Boycott their stupid publications. Write the editors.

    What are you afraid of?


  123. Justice Says:

    I feel for “real” conservatives. Their party has been hijacked by Neocon criminals. This admin.’s behavior is NOTHING like real conservative ideals. They just want to push their religious agenda on us all. They are at least as dangerous as “terrorists” to the safety, freedom and prosperity of our nation. Any Bush supporter is a traitor in my view, turning a blind eye the the incessant stream of crimes being committed by this cres. Add the never ending indictments and investigations and their party has been destroyed.


  124. Jeremy Pissed at TP Says:

    Yaknow, [Mr] p got owned in the thread about Sali and his KKKristian tendancies. Looks like he’s here throwing a temper tantrum. Pooor baby.

    And yes, Justice, I feel sorry for the real conservatives too. My Dad, who hasn’t met a Democrat he likes, who accuses anyone with any disagreements with the Republican party of being Democratic, who has NO clue that I hit R, D, and other levers all the time in the booth (though of late, very few Rs have gotten my vote) but thinks I vote for Democrats and that I lust for Hillery’s body, is no longer able to stay in the Republican party. I think I’m going to drag him to Independent. Talk about a political reconciliation all thinks to Bush.

    Soon, [Mr] p will find himself alllll alone with nothing but his blowup doll that he’s patched with duct tape with the strapon we won’t mention and his collection of gay kiddie porn to keep him company. All while screaming that other people are fags, too. ;)


  125. Ren Says:

    Radioactive? How about totally toxic???


  126. Ren Says:

    Justice: It’s true. There is very little left fundamentally of the Republican Party of the past. It’s been hijacked by a bunch of fascist neocons which is why their numbers are waning. At this point, with the I’s accounting for 35% of the people, and the Dems being in the 40’s, what’s left….that 20% of brainwashed dummies.


  127. Ren Says:

    Why would anyone tiptoe around a president? Is it because he’s living in a total bubble and absent from the real world around him? Do this so as not to embarrass him?


  128. timeisart Says:

    The Bush Crime Family has so much dirt on everybody that all political whores on both sides of the aisle just have to bend over and take it, or so they think. Bush’s spy network is busy tracking all possible opponents to his war racketeering. Everyone has to remember that the felon-in-chief has issued a directive giving himself authority to seize all assets of anyone who tries to interfere with his policies in Iraq. OMG, all the wealthy Dems like Kennedy and Feinstein have to run to the bank every day to confirm that their bucks are still there.


  129. theswan Says:

    America is a bush failure. His mother probably ha..s him.


  130. Martin Gifford Says:

    “We cannot attack George Bush because we would be punished for disloyalty by the party base. And we cannot endorse him because that would be suicide. So we tip-toe around.”

    If you come out and boldly state the truth, and keep boldly stating the truth, then you will be seen as a HERO by many people.

    Option A: Be a cowering Ghost.
    Option B: Be an outspoken Hero.

    Seems a no-brainer to me.


  131. PoppaCheese Says:

    This is why the Gay Old Party won’t win in ‘08. Because of the candidate’s fear to separate themselves from President Chimpy, people view them as one of the same. I love the Democratic debates - they are talking issues and take some good shots at Chimpy. All the Rethuglicans can do is talk about abortion and how Jesus Christ is their personal Lord and Savior. I’d rather have a President who is issue-oriented than a religious zealot.


  132. Pete Says:

    Just wait until 2008 when the Dems control the whole shooting match…its gonna be fun watching all the investigations!


  133. Hmm Says:

    Bush wants a draft so the GOP can talk about something other than Bush’s failure.
