I'm afraid that the sheeple might be stupid enough to believe the garbage the RATS are spewing.Bear in mind, the Rats have been painting Bush as a crook since the Enron "scandal", back around mid-January, to no avail.
I wrote the following and posted it as a reply on another thread:
What stuns Democrats and the media elite is how Bush's standing in the polls has proven so stubbornly impervious -- indeed, hidebound, tenacious, appallingly unyielding -- even against sustained media/Democrat attacks.
The fact that his popularity has withstood the brunt of the most uninterrupted, unremitting raking fire his enemies could muster tells me there must be some unusual dynamic at work.
I'm convinced the phenomena is nothing more than the typical 'rallying 'round the flag' effect.
The colossal political capital and credibility President Bush has amassed for his formidable performance in the 9/ 11 aftermath essentially insulates him from partisan attacks. His steady hand, even-tempered and unflappable poise amid circumstances which would easily test the skills of the most experienced leader won him the hearts and minds of many who, pre-9/11, were more or less on the fence. By so personally attacking the President as a drooling halfwit, pre-9/11, Bush's adversaries basically sealed their own fate.
In the eyes of most Americans, Bush's chorus of critics, having lied about him pre-9/11, don't have much credibility today.
In short, the more fire the President draws from partisan enemies, the more the American people rally behind him, particularly if the attacks are generally perceived as unfair and/or politically motivated.
The principle is doubly true during times of war.
Essentially, that's what I think is happening, and why, despite their best efforts, Bush-haters have failed to make any headway..
