Mr. Armey is exactly right. For all he has done in ousting Saddam, President Bush has failed to build either the party or support his base. In over 30 years of voting, I have never been as disgusted with my party's leaders at the national level. Senators, Representatives and the President - Hillary may find she has a complete walk into the White House. The nation as whole seems to have totally lost the lesson of 9/11. It is sad, and it is really unfortunate but it appears one or more national tragedies will be necessary before the politicians wake up.
It's fair to say that Bush's lower numbers in the polls are more symptomatic of the lack of republican support rather than democrat.
