Why does Bush suddenly have diarrhea of the mouth?
Why all the confessions? I don't get it.

2. He's talking to the base
He could give a rat's ass about anyone else.

He's talking directly to his base to make sure that they don't jump ship because 37% approval is about as low as he wants to go.

3. Because he knows spying on Americans is a huge crime
Hes scared. And babbling like a crook that just got nailed with a kilo of cocaine.

4. he believes his charm, charisma and personal magnetism
will make his numbers magically rise, if he can just expose the American people to it. Unfortunately you have to have charm, magnetism and charisma to show it.

5. he always did
but those who previously kept him muzzled now have issues of their own to deal with, so his leash is longer.

6. He is afraid; he's losing his grip
on his base and his mind:) He and his creepy cohorts are so arrogant they think a lot of words will smooth everything over, a little more Kool-Aid will turn things around. Dumbasses. All that being said, I wonder why they care what people think or bother to try and win them over. They are going to do what they damn well please anyway. I guess it's for the sake of the party?

10. I'm just waiting for the day ...
... and it's bound to happen, that the 'Party' realizes that the stench of this Administration is going to stay with them for a long time to come -- which won't bode well for them with the voters.

Let's remember that a lot of GOPers have their own lofty political ambitions, and they've got to be thinking that with all of the current scandals breaking (Snoopgate, Frist's stock investigation and charity fraud, Abramoff, Cunningham, etc.), they're bound to be tarred with the same brush when it comes to their own careers.

Don't forget that it was Nixon's own people who talked him into resigning -- not for the good of the country, but for their own good when they realized the stink of corruption was being equated in the voters' minds with the Republican party and not just the Nixon White House.

And God knows there's enough of a bad smell to go around here ...

27. True ...
... but when they did so, they had visions of an Administration that was going to capitalize on the great, solid foundation that Clinton had built: financial prosperity, new job creation, a budget surplus, etc. I'm sure that they all thought BU$HCO would take the great economy he'd been handed, continue with it and then they could claim it as having been their own success.

As events have proven, BU$HCO did the exact opposite -- he turned a surplus into an historically unprecedented deficit, turned peacetime into war, turned global respect into global mistrust -- the list goes on and on. Do you think for a minute that if the GOP saw what was coming, they would have 'annointed' this Idiot? They've spent the last five years making excuses to their constituents -- you know, the voters on whom their own political careers depend.

I do believe that there are some truly good people in the Republican party (not as many as I'd wish, but SOME), and they are as disgusted by the way this Administration has turned out as we are. They play the 'solidarity' game in public, for the good of the party. But one can only imagine what gets said behind closed doors.

Aside from the good GOPers, there is, of course, the every-man-for-himself contingency, and those who have their own political ambitions for careers in office that will long out-live the Bush years are undoubtedly getting nervous about their own asses.

To top it all off, we've got Diebold on the ropes -- every day there's another investigation, another lawsuit. And for those in-the-know Republicans who were counting on the mis-counting of the votes in their next election bid, that spells mucho trouble!

11. If only...
The precedent is there for impeachment in the case of blowing.

So, who do you think he'll blow?

Probably Cheney, huh?

Or Karen Hughes?

14. The national "conversation" was going against him
Valerie Plame was all over the news, "indict Rove" was all over the place..Down with Scooter.. poll numbers in the toilet..bad news... bad news everywhere.. His people knew that once the "holidays" go into hyperspeed (this week), all they needed to do was "change the subject" until this week, and people will be too self-absorbed to pay much attention to political news.. Then once the congress comes back in early January,the after-Xmas sales will be what consumes people,..that and super-bowl lead-up.. If he can manage to stumble along until the SOTU speech, his handlers are pretty sure they can re-confuse people enough for his numbers to rise.. It's all about Alito now, and he'll need some support...support he does not have now..

It's all obfuscation..

17. I recognize the alcoholic tendency to confess everything
if you think it will make everyone go easier on you. He needs a caretaker to spoonfeed him and wip his chin. What a mess.

19. Guess he thinks the verbal "drip, drip, drip"
will save his ass when whatever repuke scandals lie ahead burst into the news?? There is alot going on..Delay, Abramoff, Frist, CIA leak, wire tapping. He has probably been advised by Hughes and others to slowly start confessing to his part in the web of deceit?

22. The real powers are abandoning him to the wolves.
And they know what comes out of his mouth will more surely damn him than anything else they can dream up. After all, they've spent the last 5 years protecting him from himself, and that was a full time job.

But now that the axe is surely falling on some necks they are making sure that Bushes is highly prominent. The NSA leak was no mistake. No mistake that it points squarely, and soley, at Bush. No mistake that he signed multiple orders on this. No mistake that it was an action taken BY him AGAINST the american people.

He has been groomed for this role since the early '90s. Smart enough to be elected, dumb enough to be a patsy when needed, gulible enough to not prepare his own defenses in advance.

As this storm increases in tempo, do not be shocked at all the other players who fade into away from the above the fold headlines. Cheney will be in undisclosed locations. Rummy will be too busy doing important war stuff. Rove will be overly occupied with his own defense.

Bush is going to be all alone, with no idea how he got tied to this chopping block, and no idea when the axe will finally fall on his Presidency.

I predict impeachment by or in Spring.

24. no, actually I think he is following the model of pre-emptive strike
He knows he has been caught so rather than weasel and stonewall his way out, they are going with the BIG LIE strategy that they so-often fall back on, in their quasi-fascist ways:

YES, I did it. I MEANT to do it, HAD THE RIGHT to do it, and WILL KEEP DOING IT. After all I AM SAVING YOUR CIVIL LIBERTIES by destroying them.

The bigger the lie, the more likely it won't be questioned.

It has worked before for them.

Thanks God the Dems finally woke up. And thank God for the internets.

25. I do the same thing WHEN I'M COVERING MY ASS
So I'm not the only one who noticed, eh? He's a real gabber all of a sudden.

I suspect we'll be having more sugar coated Duke crocodile tears from more of them soon.

28. There has to be a good reason
Edited on Tue Dec-20-05 07:40 PM by MellowOne
All his moves are calculated, there is a reason for his sudden "honesty." Maybe to show how real the supposedly terrorists attackd are in light of the fact that he let 9/11 happen on purpose.

On edit: Darn, I shouldn't post that, I will be shipped off to Poland and tortured because I'm sure my computer is wiretapped.
