Republicans Fear House Will Fall to Dems in November:

House Republicans now see as many as 40 seats vulnerable in the coming elections, as reported in Sunday's Washington Post. Dissatisfaction with Bush's war, poor economic progress, and high gasoline prices have made voters ready for a change. It is feared that conservative Republicans will vote with their feet by not coming out and that sunny-day Democratic voters will come out in increased numbers.

This should place increased pressure on Ohio and Florida vote benders to fix the elections once again in those two states.

The major oil companies have been trying to do their part to help the Bush idealogues by lowering prices, even during a holiday weekend at the end of the summer when prices at the pump are usually jacked up to produce windfall profits. But polls still show sufficient decreasing support so that one Republican candidate for the senate from New Jersey has decided to come out openly against the Bush Iraqi policy.

Even SuperPol Karl Rove is struggling under the strain. Increasing numbers of Republicans are prepared to turn their backs on the Bush failed blitzkrieg of the Middle East. Some are even calling for Rummy's resignation. Will wonders never cease, so to say.


More Wanna Be Terrorists Seized in England:

Sixteen persons were arrested in two seperate raids in England in recent days as reported in The Washington Post yesterday. Bush is expected to contact Tony Blair in the near future about a possible U. S. military invasion in order to bring democracy to the British Isles.

It is thought that the Brits would be willing to contribute troops to the effort in a coalition of the willing and that perhaps no U. S. troops would actually be needed on the ground. However, the U. S. Air Force has insisted on contributing bombing runs, using stealth air craft.

Secretary Rumsfeld has reportedly directed General Milo Minderbinder, who rose to prominence during World War II as a logistics officer and later directed bombing campaigns in Vietnam, to develop a plan.
