Ed Rollins, campaign manager for Ronald Reagan’s election team in 1980 and 1984, joined the bandwagon of Republicans who are openly criticizing the Bush Administration yesterday on CNN’s Lou Dobbs Tonight:
“You know, the reality is, they’ve lost their touch … [Every] week it’s something that just reinforces the message that these guys don’t know what they’re doing. They’re incompetent. I mean, we’re almost to the point, where we’re going to look fondly back on Jimmy Carter’s administration. And I say that with great sadness as a Republican. But it’s week after week after week that they just can’t seem to find their way. Normally a foreign trip gives you something. You go there, but if we’re walking back with mangoes, and they’re getting nuclear rods, that’s not a very good swap.”
Here are Rollins’ bona fides:
He directed the most successful Presidential campaign in the history of the United States, serving as Ronald Reagan’s 1984 National Campaign Director… Mr. Rollins served in the administrations of Presidents Nixon, Ford, and Reagan, joining the Reagan administration as one of the President’s top advisors in the role of Assistant to the President for Political and Governmental Affairs.
Remember the GOP Rule: Critizing Bush = Hating America
It was a really good program. Lou has had Ed on the show for the past couple of nights.
Wonder how many people in the red states are suffering from voter remorse as they watch their jobs go to India.
The “rightous right” “Bushites” are going to get to spend a lot of time in their own “BOOK OF LAMINTAIONS” to rue the day that they placed their trust into the hands of this world’s most flaming example of w “wet brained’ absolute failure!….!Que vaya con Dios!
You just know that there are real conservatives out there somewhere. So far it seems as if they have been hiding like they are in the witness protection program. I may disagree with Mr Rollins on a lot of things but I admire the fact that he is not trying to sugarcoat everything this administration does.
Isn’t Rollins managing Senatorial candidate Katherine Harris’ campaign? Well, then, he ought to know about “INCOMPETENT!”
