29% and falling

The people hath spoken *haha*!

I have a serious question for the people (particularly the OP) crowing about Bush's approval ratings.

So what?

I mean, he's constitutionally ineligible for another presidential run (and before anyone starts in on the "it won't matter, he'll take over with force" angle, if he tried and succeeded in doing that, public opinion wouldn't matter anyway), so come January 20th, 2009, he's no longer an issue. What the people may or may not think about him won't change the fact that he's in office now, and that's unlikely to change.*

Mind you, I'd rather a more thorough breakdown of the questions asked, in particular exact wording. To quote Disraeli, "there are lies, damned lies, and statistics".




* Let's be realistic about the whole "impeach the bastard" push. With the makeup of Congress, it's highly unlikely to even get to the point of a serious proposal. I don't see** a drastic change in the makeup, in the 2006 elections, to make success any more likely.

** Like Dennis Miller, though, I could be wrong.

Noh, the Dems will start the impeachment procedures if they manage to gain a majority in the House and Senate this November. The low poll number matter a great deal to the Democrats for this reason.

The worst thing you could do is underestimate you opponent. If you believe Bush is immune then you are part of the problem.

For starters it means his bullshit policies are not representing the interests of the vast majority.

On a side note I hope every Democratic candidate for office runs on Impeaching Bush as their main platform plank -They'll sweep into office.

Sure, they can start impeachment procedures, but unless they (and those who may agree with them even if not sharing the same party) get 2/3rds of both houses of Congress (Article I, Sections 2 and 3), it won't succeed.

And, for the record, I don't agree that Bush Jr. has met the "high crimes and misdemeanors" requirement for an impeachment, but I don't care for him and many of his policies, either. I just don't get "frothing at the mouth" about the guy, unlike a not-small portion of the online left seem to do.

(And, from a historical viewpoint, said portion of the online population predicted that in both of the last two presidential elections the Democratic Party candidate would win by a landslide; groupthink can be a significant problem. All in all, I remain somewhat skeptical of predictions that the Republican Party's hold on Congress will go away in the next congressional election, and especially go away so much that both houses are controlled by the DP enough to meet the 2/3rds requirement for impeachment.)

Just like Nixon --it will be the Republicans who finally bring him down.

* Appointing Howard "I hate Bush, and so should you!" Dean as DNC chairman doesn't exactly inspire confidence that there is concern in the party's upper heirarchy for actually presenting a positive counter to the Republican Party.

Time to wag the dog, I reckon. Nothing like a manufactured act of domestic terrorism to boost poll ratings.

As an outsider I ask: How much longer does his term run?

The reason for my question is that my Yahoo news this morning tells me that enriched uranium has been discovered in Iran. I don't know why, but that scenario seems vaguely familiar.

Can YOU describe in a few sentences how the NSA program is illegal?
