You know what, I love Bush
OKay, well maybe I fucking hate him for all the pain and suffering he has caused in the world. But understand, this guy will make it amazingly easy for Democrats to be back in power by 08. More Americans are waking up to the fact that Bush and his administration along with the GOP congress are a bunch of corrupt criminals that don't look out for the peoples interests. Congress has an approval rating of around 30%; Bush's rating isn't much higher, and there are many scandals that are about to be busted open right in their face. 06 and 08 here we come!

1. Be Careful
Bushwinkle's approval rating is around 51%.

A large number of selfish, small-minded people are out there and they love the RW agenda NO MATTER WHAT.

People are stupid.

2. I don't buy that.
Every day he is in office only validates this Administration. I hope you are right but there's nothing to love about George W Bush.

3. depends...
I think Bush is smarter than he looks, he could figure a way to do the same thing as 04, scare tactic, etc. All I can say is the Dems need a good candidate with clear agenda. I didn't understand Kerry and could see why he lost. I am a swing voter, I vote on issues so it was very important to me that he answer questions clearly. I didn't get that vibe that he really knew what he was doing on Soc Security or other issues. I went with the Libs in 04.

Throw Hillary into the race, it will give them all a run for their money!

11. "I think Bush is smarter than he looks"
Good thing, because he looks as dumb as an lobotomized ape that just got hit by a city bus.

4. If we don't make significant gains in Congress in '06, we probably
won't do much better in '08. And if we do happen to elect a D in '08, who would want the job with a strong Republican Congress???!!!

Let's get to work now to make '06 happen before we think about '08.

Everyone should be working on someone's campaign.

9. Well...
You're counting out the religious zealots that look at the "morals and values" side of it all and vote for Bush. The uneducated gun toting Bible thumping idiot that thinks Bush=NRA/patriotic flag waving bullshit.

Maybe if these people picked up a newspaper to read... Well, that might be asking too much.

On the plus side, I know a hard core Republican who called me and apologized for voting for Bush. He also apologized for not listening to me sooner. The key to 06 and 08 is going to be people more along the lines of Moderate Democrate. Let's hope we can do it, right?!!

12. Well, thats kind of my point
We will never get that 30% of the votes that would vote for Bush even if he ate a baby's head on live television. The key is just get 2-3% more votes; we "lost" only by about 3% points which means we only need 1.5% to change their position. The things Bush and the GOP do I'm positive they aren't converting anyone from our side but I know for a fact, as you just pointed out in an example, a lot of Republicans are starting to come to our side as they see Bush for what he is, a lying prick that hasn't done an ounce of good for this country. Personally I think we already converted a lot more than 1.5%; I hope I'm right.
