Research? Why bother...

She's pretty confident that those darn RINO's didn't support the good President Bush in his righteous endeavors.

I, as a Conservative, did not see one issue that the Republican Congress, Senate or House, ever stood with the President. The Republican Congress caved in to the Dems everytime on every issue. Pull my hair out? You bet, it was the most pitiful Congress ever. As for Rove and Chaney show me proof of anything they did that was illegal.

I seem to remember a fairly humorous "Rubber Stamp Congress" campaign [or something like that]. So, I figured the numbers had to be a little better than she remembered it. So I did some quick research.

That's interesting, because the data I've read indicated fairly firm support for the President and his policies by Republican legislators throughout Bush's tenure. For instance, Congressional Quarterly does a "Presidential Support" rating. By my calculations, House Republicans supported President Bush 75% of the time in 2007 and 88% of the time in 2006. In this it shows them supporting him 83% of the time in 2005. And these are the years when President Bush's approval ratings were plummeting.

In the time I have, that's as far back as I was able look. I'd be interested to see your research on these or any other years which shows that the Republican Congress never "stood with the President".

Oh, and I didn't say Rove or Cheney did anything illegal...twisted a few arms of Capital Hill, yes. Whether or not they did "anything illegal" is for another discussion.
