For all their feigned efforts to create distance from Bush, when it comes right down to it, the GOP candidates are still his lap dogs. The GOP members of Congress made the Bush failed agenda possible. And, they will never leave him cause he's a cash cow:
Many worried Republicans on the ballot in November have been pushing away from the White House, not wanting to be dragged under by President Bush's sinking approval ratings and growing anxiety over Iraq. That doesn't mean they're also fleeing his cash offerings, however.The traditional media, notably the Washington Post, has run several articles about how Hill Republicans are backing away from Bush. That's B.S. GOP spin. They are joined at the hip....there is no separation.
Despite approval ratings in the mid-to-upper 30s, Bush remains the nation's most successful fundraiser. Vice President Dick Cheney, whose poll numbers are even lower than Bush's, is not far behind. Both have raised tens of millions of dollars for GOP congressional and gubernatorial candidates running in this year's midterm elections.
