Turning the corner on regime change in the US

[barondave]

The latest Harris Poll Interactive has Bush's approval rating at 29%. Who are these idiots who still approve of the scandal-plagued, morally deviant, incompetent, smug and uncaring George W?

Republican governor of Kentucky indicted by grand jury. "This has been a politically motivated, media-driven investigation from the start," whined the governor's spokesman, a tactic that didn't work for Tom DeLay either.

The rate of US deaths in Iraq is on the rise and despite many more police and security forces, the rate of violence against civilians in the last 10 weeks is "about 80% higher than the level of violence late last year". Bush refuses to hold anyone at the top responsible and Rumsfeld seems to know where all the dead bodies are.

An expansion of the Duke Cunningham scandal has turned to Republican Rep. Jerry Lewis and "several members of the House Appropriations Committee".

America must wake up: Zero tolerance for Republicans.

There's the small core that will support their party no matter what. It's true for both Republicans and Democrats. And nothing anyone does will change their mind - they have a strong 'My party, right or wrong' mentality. They have to be endured, and worked around as needed.

My maternal grand-mother was one of them - she thought Nixon was being framed and railroaded.

Indeed. Still, as minnehaha B pointed out, the points are much harder to shave off now. 29% is definitely eating into GOP core support. And, as the article noted, the poll was conducted before the NSA's massive wiretapping came out. There is no upside on the horizon, and while I predict a massive (and nasty) 2006 campaign which will bring some support back from sphincter conservatives, it's getting late in the game.
