I was thinking about the approval ratings this morning. The media attaches all things to the war in Iraq but personally I think the plummeting approval ratings are a combination of things. The media is intentionally asking the wrong questions.
It is more than just Iraq. In January 2004 when Bush first proposed this lunacy his poll ratings sunk 10 points overnight. People are aware of this issue more than he and Congress think and will not forget so easily by 2006.
