The implication in the MSM is that "disapproval" of a Bush job performance equals desire to elect liberal democrats, and to support their policies.

I suspect that if Bush came out against guest worker programs and strictly for border enforcement, his approval would go up 5-10%. Plainly a conservative element.

Further, if you look at American opinion on the issues, it ends up roughly supporting the Bush policies on most, such as Iraq. But the media will keep showing you a hindsight poll that many Americans think the Iraq war was a "mistake". But ask what they want done now, and most describe the Bush policy.

I'd like to know where they got that from... I doubt the Administration cares, given this is the President's second term...

Only moonbats on the left want us to leave Iraq immediately.

If a Democrat gets elected in 2008, I doubt that they wil withdraw all of the troops from Iraq. If someone like Al Gore or John F. Kerry is the Democratic candidate, they will lose, period.

America is still a proud country and we're going to elect someone who is a winner.

It would make him look like a flip flopper. Like it or not his best feature is his stay the course attitude. That's why people respect him and why he has had as much success as he has had.

I agree, but he'd have to be convincing.
