R's are complaining about Bush
Recent Gallup polls show that Bush isn’t that popular with conservatives. This isn’t a surprise to anyone who is paying attention. Bush has done more to sink the Conservative cause than any Democrat in history, IMHO.
R's change leadership in the House
From WaPo:
Rep. John A. Boehner (R-Ohio), who ran an insurgent campaign calling for change in the face of a widening corruption scandal, was elected yesterday to succeed Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) as House majority leader in an upset over the acting majority leader.
Boehner’s victory over Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), a longtime DeLay ally, stunned even the Ohioan, said House members attending the closed-door election. It sent a clear signal that most House Republicans were eager for a relatively fresh face to lead the party in an election year when the GOP’s decade-long control of the House is under threat.

Now is this really a change? Is Boehner a clean break from R’s corruption? Was he the guy who are handing out tobacco lobby checks on the floor of the House? Boehner has as many as 24 former staffers who are now Washington lobbyists (salon.com).
