I think the main reason his numbers are low is due to the BDS in the MSM.

I solidly agree.

1) President Bush has done very well protecting the nation following the 9-11 attack.

2) Despite the 9-11 attack for most of his two terms the economy posted GDP numbers the Euros only dream about.

3) Our do nothing Congress is to blame about gas prices with their handicapping our nation from recovering resources within our own boundaries.

4) He held us even as possible on Supreme Court appointments with two solid judges in Alito and Roberts.

His continually trying to push through amnesty for illegals, his open borders, his Dubai ports deal, his Miers nomination...those didn't help either.

Bush burned himself, like McCain is doing, by turning against his base.

If McCain did win, he would probably start January 20, 2009 with the lowest approval numbers of any newly elected president in history.

Then, he would have to try to govern with low approval ratings and a Dem-controlled Congress. It ain't gonna be pretty.

“I think the main reason his numbers are low is due to the BDS in the MSM.”

I agree, but what made it toxic was that the conservative base felt too disenchanted to help stop the media bleeding by defending Bush.

It’s like the media are like gangs of roving thugs.. if we stick together we can fend them off, if not, then they attack someone and take them down.

I call it the ‘wounded zebra’ phenomenon. The lions dont have to kill a zebra, just wound it enough to get it separated from the herd.

NOW is the time to rally to Bush’s defense, to point out how bush has been overall a good president, and to make the case for his good conservative actions. If we dont, then the repudiation of Bush will be a wholesale media attack on conservatives, Republicans, fighting the GWOT, prolifers, Bush SCOTUS picks, his energy positions, his opposition to Kyoto,his antistemcell position, etc.

In other words, the media wants to defeat conservative ideas by defeating Bush. we should not let that happen.
