REPUBLICANS GETTING TARRED WITH THE SAME BrUSH

Another political ad this week connecting Bob Ehrlich to George Bush. It was a weak connection, saying the two are alike in that they put business interests ahead those of the common man when making political decisions. ... Like I said, it was weak. But then, given the president's approval numbers , 34 percent in a recent Baltimore Sun poll, it's still like tossing a cinder block to a drowning man.
In fact, the Fearless Leader and head of the Republican party is looking more and more like the biggest impediment to republican candidates getting elected this year. And the second biggest obstacle may be their party affiliation as, for the first time in my life, I'm noticing that republican candidates are not mentioning their party membership in their advertising. To their credit, it may indicate they're smart enough to know a cinderblock when they see one. And if they are, then does that mean they were smart enough to know better when they supported the Bush administration's policies on secret prisons, torture, illegal wiretaps, domestic spying and gutting the Bill of Rights. If so, that could only mean they are malicious, power-hungry fascists who think the right of the government to exist under its own terms supersedes the right of the people to exist under the protections and liberties afforded by the Constitution.
