IMHO, the Democrats have been looking at their poll numbers and have decided they are toast if they don't bring down Bush's popularity. But Bush's popularity will only come down by either a blunder on his part or by Democrat attacks. They waited for the blunder and it didn't happen. Now they have gone to plan "B": Attack the President.

Did you notice how many Democrats suddenly found their voice? Did you notice the press going after Bush and Fleischer about the Clinton comments? This is a concerted effort to bring Bush's popularity down for the fall elections.

Exactly. And I imagine with the ecomony on the verge of recovery, Daschle and his darlings will step up their attacks. He's a traitor in my eyes.

I agree totally. I think Daschle and the democrat old guard realize they are running out of options and time with respect to attacking President Bush. If they wait much longer, the elections will loom and I don't think they want to introduce this line of attack too close to the election.

Now, if the recovery can proceed with strength, and the regrouping terrorists are destroyed en masse (preferably with OBL verified dead), then Tom and the others can say whatever they want--but they'll lose even more ground this year.

This is business as usual they did the same thing constantly to all Republican Presidents
