The Bush Implosion

June 1, 2007

For me, the “canary in the mineshaft” of the Bush administration died at 12:00AM this morning, when the Wall Street Journal posted a piece about the President’s unpopular immigration bill by former Reagan speechwriter and influential Republican Peggy Noonan.

Whether you like the immigration bill or not, you cannot deny that it is splitting the GOP. And with this bill, the White House has turned its back on its base in a way that is far more politically risky than the Iraq invasion or anything else it has attempted, and could seal Bush’s place in the history books as a failed president.

Understand that Peggy Noonan has been known as a loyal Republican. She’s not on the fringe and has never been a “bomb-thrower.” That makes her words astounding, to me at least, and spot on. She writes,

“The White House doesn't need its traditional supporters anymore, because its problems are way beyond being solved by the base. And the people in the administration don't even much like the base. Desperate straits have left them liberated, and they are acting out their disdain. Leading Democrats often think their base is slightly mad but at least their heart is in the right place. This White House thinks its base is stupid and that its heart is in the wrong place.”

She adds, “One of the things I have come to think the past few years is that the Bushes, father and son, though different in many ways, are great wasters of political inheritance. They throw it away as if they'd earned it and could do with it what they liked…Bush the younger came forward, presented himself as a conservative, garnered all the frustrated hopes of his party, turned them into victory...but in time he sundered the party that rallied to him, and broke his coalition into pieces. He threw away his inheritance. I do not understand such squandering.”

To get a feeling for the anger in the base out there over the immigration bill, check out the online responses to this piece in the Houston Chronicle. (They’re at the bottom of the page.) When I checked, the responses were all from furious conservatives who have given up on Bush and the GOP.

If I’m any candidate in the ’08 Republican presidential field, I’m running hard not only against Bush, but against this immigration bill or any sort of “amnesty.” And if I’m the Democrats, I sit back and watch Bush and the Republicans destroy themselves.
