  The Republican National Convention is about to happen. Yet another televised beheading. In the meantime, a Republican congressman from Nebraska is now calling saying that the alleged president mishandled the Iraq war, and that it shouldn't have happened anyway.
Cracks are appearing in the legendarily united party. And who can blame them? Cheney spewing profanity everywhere he goes, Bush flipping off teenagers, a constant barrage of negative campaign attack ads. The continued focus on Iraq, when we have problems here in this country that go largely ignored, such as the collapsing economy. To say nothing of the forgotten war in Afghanistan. Oh yeah, and the memos that have come to light from within the administration advocating torture, and finding creepy little ways to justify it.
Shrub also refuses to condemn the Swift Boat Veterans television ad, attacking John Kerry's heroic service in Vietnam. It seems there might still be politicians in the Republican party who see problems with this kind of behavior. Either that, or they realize they are on a sinking ship... Current election projection: Kerry= 327 electoral votes (51.3% of popular vote), Bush= 211 electoral votes (46.9% of popular vote)
