Repubelickin' '08 Strategy: Suicide

Many Repubelicans in the US House and Senate have spent the last 8 months distancing themselves from Bush's Iraq policy. After the 2006 election, that seemed to be a smart move, if you liked your job. The only problem is that GOP upstarts still subscribe to the foreign policy guideline of "kill 'em all, and let God sort 'em out." This means they'll have primary challenges from new pro-war punks this Spring.

What could be better than a whole bunch of Repubelicans, who were too chickenshit to stand up for what's right so they did it when it was "safe", getting devoured by a bunch of morons who, if they get a nomination, will be out of touch with 70% of America?

The GOP is going to write the book, over the next decade, on achieving political irrelevance.
