They opposed them on every one of those things...every one!

Bush’s 1,600-acre ranch. He said he was visiting his sister in nearby Gatesville who’s “a big Bush fan. … She dragged me over here.”<BR/><BR/> Shuttered storefronts and eroding retail sales figures show tourism and the Bush memorabilia business are slumping in this once-sleepy farm-and-ranch town of 732 residents.<BR/><BR/> A for-sale sign is the only thing in the smudged window of the turn-of-the-century, two-story brick building that once housed the Crawford Country Style store. “The numbers just weren’t working,” said Norma Nelson Crow, who closed the shop at the beginning of the year.[..]<BR/><BR/> Bill Johnson, owner of the Yellow Rose, Crawford’s largest gift shop, said he has been stocking more Texana and Americana items in response to the drop-off in sales of Bush merchandise. “We’re changing our mix,” Johnson said. “As a business we have to do what we have to do to be successful.”</I><BR/><BR/> The comments attached to the article are worth a laugh or two as well…clifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01789324243613548212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102706.post-73962629569819248622007-07-09T11:55:00.000-07:002007-07-09T11:55:00.000-07:00This one is GOOD; Especially since Bob (out a CIA ...This one is GOOD; <BR/><BR/>Especially since Bob (out a CIA agent for the reichwing)Novak wrote the underlying article;<BR/><BR/> <A HREF="http://www2.boomantribune.com/story/2007/7/9/114715/2571" REL="nofollow">Crumbling Walls</A><BR/><BR/>by BooMan<BR/> <BR/>It's startling to read <A HREF="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/08/AR2007070800923.html" REL="nofollow">Bob Novak's</A> column this morning and realize that it could have been written by Paul Krugman. Novak's most revealing graf involves a 'scouting trip' National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley made to the Hill:<BR/><BR/> <I>The tone set by Hadley signaled that the White House did not understand that Lugar, in his fateful speech on the Senate floor the night of June 25, was sending a distress signal to Bush that a change in policy can be instituted only by the president and that it is imperative he act now.</I><BR/><BR/>That's funny, because I heard the S.O.S. loud and clear. A quick tally of Republicans that have broken with the President (at least rhetorically) shows the <A HREF="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/09/washington/09prexy.html?ex=1341633600&en=074c5ec7326a3c5b&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss" REL="nofollow">numbers problem</A> that Bush faces.<BR/><BR/> <I>“When you count up the votes that we’ve lost and the votes we’re likely to lose over the next few weeks, it looks pretty grim,” said one senior official, who, like others involved in the discussions, would not speak on the record about internal White House deliberations.</I><BR/><BR/>The following Republicans have indicated that a change of course is needed and that they can't support the status quo: Gordon Smith, Chuck Hagel, Olympia Snowe, John Warner, Dick Lugar, Pete Domenici, Judd Gregg, and Lamar Alexander. Norm Coleman, Arlen Specter, and Susan Collins have also expressed reservations. If the GOP can't hold the defections from this group to under ten, they'll be unable to filibuster any Iraq bills or amendments. But that will be difficult as Lugar and Warner are the most respected GOP Senators on military and foreign affairs.<BR/><BR/>The Republicans succeeded in the spring, but they may fail over the next three weeks.<BR/><BR/>Novak concludes his column:<BR/><BR/> <I> As the first in a succession of Republican senators to be critical of Bush's Iraq policy, Hagel feared the worst when he returned home to conservative Nebraska for Fourth of July parades. Instead, he was pleasantly surprised by cheers and calls for the troops to be brought home. Perhaps a White House scouting trip into the American heartland might be worthwhile.</I><BR/><BR/>The ground has shifted.

People were still buying his turds, and gobbling them down. <BR/><BR/>Now, some of its starting to come back up. <BR/><BR/>Besides, that was, at least in some peoples minds, a grey area.
