Repubicans = Good, Democrats = Bad

Bush is a pariah and GOP candidates know it. They now focus on convincing voters they must vote Repug or they are in peril.

Republicans, beset by an array of political troubles, are cranking up the attacks on Democrats and trying to change the subject from President George W. Bush ahead of November's congressional elections.

With Bush slumping in the polls and Republicans on the defensive over the Iraq war and a series of ethics scandals, the party wants to shift the spotlight away from the White House by convincing voters that Democratic rule would be a dangerous choice.

Republicans hope the strategy will limit the national momentum that Democrats might ride into November and fire up the party's conservative base to ensure they turn up at the polls.

What does it all mean? It means the Dems have to establish a coherent plan to rectify Bush's abysmal decisions.

Pretty easy, huh? Let me know if you need my assistance.

Just joking.
