I'm amazed by how many true Republicans feel that way now. Sure, there are
some rightwingnuts who'll never admit they were wrong, but with a 39%
approval rating, Bushco may even lose some of those when it finally comes
out that Rove/Chumpy revealed Plame to Novak and others.

Doubtful. Most of us who've abandoned our affection for W have done so for
any number of reasons, but not that fiasco. What's interesting is that
Scooter Libby hasn't been charged with revealing a CIA black operative.
Rather he's been charged with lying to a grand jury. Sound familiar? GOP
pulled the same political BS with Clinton and Starr. What is annoying is
that such political BS games are played on either side of the aisle. We
send representatives to DC to do our bidding, not engage in petty political
battles. They are wasting our money while keeping the media happy. Sucks.

The reason that W has lost so many of his original supporters is not because
of the Plame/Rove mess, and not *entirely* because of the Iraq war, albeit a
factor. It has more to do with failing to protect our borders from
undocumented aliens, from spending like there's a money pit somewhere in
Washington that we must not know about, and coming up with silly, crony
nominations for the Supreme Court, such as Harriet Meiers. Only you
liberals care about the Rove/Libby/Cheney scandal. Or about Tom DeLay. We
don't.
