ya'll were crazy for voting him back in
It's impossible for things to get 'worse' for Bush. He's the most powerful man in the world, and will be until 2008, upon which time he'll be forced to step down. Nothing he does can extend the 2008 deadline, and nothing he doesn't do (short of impeachment) can shorten it. I guess ultimately what I'm saying is: who gives a shit? He's the president for 4 more years, it doesn't matter if his approval rating falls to 0.

Not that you'd understand the complexities of how politics actually work, but politicians need something called political capital to get their job done. Bush is running out of it which is why he lost the SS security battle, and why the neo-con movement is becoming marginalized. Low approval ratings will impact his ability to suceed with almost everyone of his upcoming iniatives. The president does not have the right to just do as he pleases, he needs approval from congress and the senate.Low presidential approval ratings make it harder for congressman and senators to remain lackeys... these guys have to run again in 2 years and are jockeying for position to be the republican nominee in 2008. They don't want to be seen as overly supporting a president that is disliked by the majority of the country. Already politicians are feeling the heat due to their support of Bush. The Congressional Job Approval Rating has fallen from an already low 44% to 34%. Then there is the impact of Terry Schiavo and overwhelmingly the public is disappointed at the republican desire to have congress step in pretending to save terry:Should Congress and the President be involved in the Schiavo matter?Yes 13No 82Does Bush get to stay in Washington for four more years? Sure everyone knows this much already... but what will his legacy be and will his presidency help or hurt the conservative movement? I think when you see approval ratings around 43% and 34% at the beginning of his term its fair to say his legacy is not likely to be flattering, and 4 years from now the republicans short glimpse of what it means to possess power will quickly fade away.
These "ideologues" are too focused on what other people say, its disgusting. Youre always referring to polls Ant, but these polls dont mean shit. It dont mean shit that only 36 % of motherfuckers approve Bush, cuz 52% of motherfuckers voted for him,And nothing is worse for Bush. Nothing will get worse for Bush. Yall handed him a gun, hes gonna use that mofo.
you act like these numbers are magical and that if his rating were 80% he could make slavery legal again... maybe at 84% he could invade canadait's a fucking poll, if bush has a terrible idea he's fronting, it's not going to pass if his rating is 4% or 94%
