I can’t wait to see John McCain campaigning around the country with a president with a 30% approval rating, his lowest ever from the AP. I can’t wait to see President Bush featured prominently at the Republican convention, then have John McCain come on stage after him talking about “change”. Or are they going to hide Bush? If so, how do they explain essentially trying to give him and his policies a third term?
Delicious.

Pat Toomey & The Brilliance Of The Modern GOP
If Harry & Nancy keep going the way they’re going (22% and dropping), we could see the House & Senate switch back.
Except something like 40 GOPers have resigned their seats and there’s no serious pickup opportunities in the Senate except remotely maybe Louisiana. Americans don’t like what’s going on in Washington, but they rightly mostly still blame the GOP and its president.
This is obviously good news for the GOP!
Of course Farris and the other wingers avoid the fact that the Congress’ unpopularity results from the fact that it was given a mandate to STOP Bush’s policies, and it has steadfastly refused to do so.
Oh, get out of here. McCain is not “more of the same” – why do you think the Republican establishment hates him so much? Yes he has favored the most recent incantation of the Iraq policy and flip-flopped on taxes, but if you really think a McCain administration will be anything like a Bush administration, you need to put down the kool aid, son.
somejackass,
Maybe you’re kidding, but what would be different with McCain? Under McCain, we’d continue to put our head in the sand about Federal deficits, continue to do nothing about healthcare, continue to do nothing about global warming, continue to do nothing about fuel security and alternative energy, continue to reward capital over labor, continue to spend money on fruitless foreign entanglements, continue to elect horrible judges, continue to chip away at civil liberties. As long as there is the means of obstruction among Republicans, they will obstruct. The only difference that I can see is that McCain doesn’t even pretend to be compassionate.
Its funny you say that Farris, maybe its that the public is getting tired of Republican obstructionism. The Democratic party has much higher favorable ratings. Across a broad spectrum of issues, the American public thinks Democrats would do a better job of handling its problems.
I wouldn’t count on that switch.

I know you are not this stupid, so you must be lying to try and make a point.
People don’t like the congress because they are not doing enough to stop Bush, and they won’t vote for more Republicans because of that.
And if my word isn’t enough…

I dare you to find a poll that shows the Democrats worse off than the Republicans.
My opinion of Congress would definitely spike if impeachment were put right in the middle of the table. Cheney first.
USA to Bush: “You’re still here?”
