[QUOTE="Jones, post: 124806, member: 4805"] I think it's only a republican mess because GOP leadership made it into one by trying to ignore it. Conspiracy theories about those crafty democrat tricksters aside (gimme a break, this bunch? more like the keystone cops), timing would never have been an issue if Hastert had acted 2-3 years ago when he was first [URL="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15131243/"]informed about Foley's behavior. [/URL] I have my doubts about how much more mileage you will be able to get out of comparing Bush to Clinton. For one thing, whatever you may think of his legacy, Clinton is long gone. Bush has been running the show for six years now and it's past time to start judging him on his own performance. He's either doing a good job or he's not. In addition, when Clinton left office his approval rating was around 65% favorable, and he continues to draw those kind of numbers today. Bush has been stuck down in the 30's all year. It's not the kind of comparison that looks particularly good for the current president. In my opinion your last point is probably the best case scenario for the GOP, ie, that the public will blame congress as a whole rather than the republicans specifically. I think it's a long shot, but ya never know... [/QUOTE]
