Required Reading

posted by on February 16 at 17:18 PM

From U.S. News and World Report:

Recent polls indicate a dramatic shift of independent voters toward Democrats when pressed to take sides. That shift helped Democratic candidates win a majority in Congress in November.

But the swing could be so strong that many Republicans up for re-election in 2008 should be sweating profusely.

It is almost certain that a large number of U.S. troops will still be in Iraq next year. The presidential race gets in full swing early with caucuses and primaries in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina.

Bush has ignored the voters’ clear message sent three months ago. He could be poised to take his party down with him when he retires to Crawford, Texas, in 2009.

You can either be with America - or you can hate us and love the God King.

I gotta think that some of this has to do with the R's getting so blatant about shoving their religion down our throats. That's not something that tends to make independents happy.

We really shouldn't be surprised at this "news". Bush has something akin to the "anti-Midas Touch"; every venture with which he's ever been associated seems to have ended in failure, disaster, or worse. Why would anyone who's followed his business & political career for the past 30 years think this latest venture would turn out any differently?

Shrub is the ultimate example of The Peter Principle at work.
