More Republican Problems????

Today's Columbus Dispatch has an article that indicates that Ohio Republicans are starting to abandon their support of the President. (My opinion---What took you so long????) One part of the article says that Republicans Pryce and Tiberi openly questioned the Dubai port deal.
However...
BOTH PRYCE AND TIBERI VOTED AGAINST INCREASED PORT SECURITY (http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2006/roll056.xml). Despite what Pryce and Tiberi may say to the media, when it comes down to it, they vote the way Bush, Rove, Hastert, and Boehner dictate. Don't forget that!

It appears as though the nation is getting tired of the Republican controlled Congress. TIME has the results of a new poll. Here is an excerpt:
TIME's latest poll finds American voters heading into November's election dissatisfied with the Republican-dominated status quo, but not necessarily convinced that the answer lies in voting Democratic. The poll, conducted March 22-23, finds Americans unhappy with the performance of the Republican-controlled Congress — 39% approve, versus 49% who disapprove — and gives Democrats a 9-point lead when voters are asked to state which party's candidate they would choose for a House of Representatives seat (50% answered Democrat, 41% chose Republican). Voters favor Democratic control of Congress by 49% compared with 38% for Republican control....


Looks like the nice folks at Kaiser Permanente are dumping poor elderly patients outside a shelter in L.A. There is even a videotape showing one of the events. Apparently, a large number of these poor disoriented patients have been brought to the streets outside the shelter and left there. There is more information here. (I guess this is an example of what happens to the poor with the Republicans in charge.)
