The GOP is growing increasingly frightened and angry by Bush's missteps.

Did you guys get the memo? Many of you are on the way out thanks to blind faith and very bad leadership.

WASHINGTON--President Bush, once the seemingly invincible vanguard of a new Republican majority, could be endangering his party's hold on power as the GOP heads into this year's midterm congressional elections.

A series of political missteps has raised questions about the Bush administration's candor, competence and credibility and left the White House off-balance, off-message and unable to command either the nation's policy agenda or its politics the way the president did during his first term.

This week, newly released video of Bush listening passively to warnings about the dire threat posed by Hurricane Katrina and a report that intelligence analysts warned for more than two years that the insurgency in Iraq could swell into a civil war provided fresh fodder for charges that the president ignores unwelcome alarms.

His attacks on those who questioned his administration's approval of a seaports deal with the United Arab Emirates and his ill-fated nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court have angered some conservatives and Republican members of Congress.

And even some Bush supporters remain anxious about the economy, the federal deficit, the war in Iraq and the extent of the administration's warrantless wiretapping.

"The White House has been taking it on the chin lately, and the reverberations are being felt throughout the GOP," Republican blogger Bobby Eberle wrote this week. "From the Harriet Miers nomination to the Dubai Ports and more, the folks in charge of message strategy appear to be asleep at the wheel."

A Republican pollster, Ed Goeas, thinks for himself and goes against party wisdom and rules:

Said Republican pollster Ed Goeas: "If this environment holds, you have to assume it's going to tip for the Democrats."

I have to think this mid-term election truly is for the Dems to win.

Let's see if they get bold, step up and go all out or go Bush-lite and get destroyed again.

Do us a favor Dems: step up and go all out or just go home!
