The Early-Warning System For Political Disaster Our Elected Overlords Keep Ignoring :: Ace of Spades HQ

"Instapundit discusses the fact that the Bush Administration Republican Party has been warned repeatedly about which bad policies were actually going to cost it support -- and entire elections -- but has studiously ignored this data.

Do they want whining from Michael Chertoff and Trent Lott to form the public image of the Bush Administration and the Republican Party?
Apparently they do. Good luck with that, guys. The political press can run with stories about bloggers being in full revolt over immigration, but it's not really a case of bloggers vs. the Administration. Rather, it's a case -- like Harriet Miers, Dubai Ports, PorkBusters, etc. -- of the Bush Administration ignoring the clear warnings available in the blogosphere. And once again, it's not just bloggers who think the Administration is crazy. So far, every time they've done that they've had their head handed to them. That'll happen this time, too, and if they should happen to 'win' and pass their bill, the consequences for the GOP will be even worse. 'Bizarre Republican Death Wish?' Indeed.

As I've said before, it's not that bloggers should be read and heeded because we're all so damn smart. No, not at all. Some of us are certifiable morons."
