It won't.

Most of our problems arise in a failed political movement.
Conservatism proved itself morally, intellectually and ethically
bankrupt.
Blaming Bush's stupidity plays right into the hands of the far right.
It gives them the excuse that their beliefs were not competently or
comprehensively pursued by Bush. They have been the ones saying that
to criticize Bush aids the "enemy." Let them pony up now that
everyone with intelligence above that of a garden pest knows what an
abysmal failure they have been.

Roedy, This is not just about a scandal, this effect is from middle class,
middle income, American patriot voters getting progressively tired of Bush
problem after Bush problem. This was just the last straw. It could have
been Foley or anything else, America is just tired of all the Bush bull.
Voters are tired of WMD then there are no WMD's, on going problems with Iran
and North Korea which the Repugs blame on....well, they haven't blamed it on
any thing really. At last the middle class has had enough, enough lies,
enough cheating, enough dissembling.
