Bush aide will drive final nail into the GOP coffin for 2006

David Kuo, a former Bush White House aide

The book essentially says President Bush's "compassionate conservativism" and "faith-based initaitives" were more campaign rhetoric than anything else.

The Religious Right that has filed out so well in the past has been shrinking, and in some cases going left (over the environment), it was a troubling trend, the Foley scandal has really devastated the GOP GOTV effort that depends on them, and many of them have been skeptical that the GOP is ever going to accomplish their goals, this book will be 2 weeks for the election, giving them plenty of time to digust it on the media and public

I never needed a book to tell me this. I sure hope it opens the eyes of those that just refuse to see, but I doubt it.

David Who?

I am sure there is a march to the bookstores? And by the way Reagan pandered to the religious right. Would you rather we implement the total agenda of the far right? We don't follow the party extremes off the cliff like Clinton did 1993-94!

Same as the Woodward book. More for Cash than politics. Sad what Woodward has lowered himself into doing for the quick buck and the talkshows.
