Rove is gunning to push Bush's approval ratings into the low 30's.

One chink in the plan though is how many Republican Congressmen are willing to go down with Bush's collapsing poll numbers.

Stay tuned...

There's no doubt in my mind that with oil prices the way they are and possible declining support for the war in Iraq the GOP could very well lose Congress in 2006 if they pass this nonsense. People don't want it as they see it as a threat to their livelihoods, which it is.

..how many Republican Congressmen are willing to go down with Bush's collapsing poll numbers(?)..

This has to be our point of attack. Bush himself seems completely impervious to preventing the literal destruction of the US in it's current form, and seems completely unaware of the potential magnitude of the political fallout.

The House of Representatives is a different story. If they think this is an issue that can defeat or elect a Congressman/woman, they will break from Bush in a heartbeat.

i used to think Bush was laying a nice path for conservatives to the future. it's been looking a bit more rocky lately

he has a profound disconnect on immigration...really incredible....one day, if the existing American culture is not completely subjugated, academics will talk about this:

"he was great on foreign policy and strong when American needed it, he tried to institute some tax reforms and a wee bit of cultural conservatism and had some successes but he ignored illegal immigration back when there was still a chance to do something about it."

Yeah, but he's got to come through for his post-2008 golden handshake job. With the failure of the Social Security scheme he isn't going to get rewarded by the brokerages.

Maybe he's aiming for a job with a cheap labor industry.
