Weird. Rasmussen had him up. Guess it depends on which pollster's result you like.
Fox had him up as well. Basically, many in the media have their story already written, Bush's Presidency is over, Republicans lose in November, PERIOD. Not that they might not be right, but even if they aren't, they are not deviating from that story.
If Bush's approval rating start to go up, expect the Dems to come up with another "gate".
We are falling for the Dems tactics. I hope to wake up Nov 2006 to a caterwalling Democratic party.
The following is just a reminder, the last being the most important at this time.
Rules for Radicals provides the organizer with a tactical style for community organization that assumes an adversarial relationship between groups of people in which one either dominates or is dominated.
"The first rule of power tactics is: power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have."
"Wherever possible go outside the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat."
"Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules. You can kill them with this. They can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity."
Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also, it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."
"The threat is generally more terrifying than the thing itself."
"In a fight almost anything goes. It almost reaches the point where you stop to apologize if a chance blow lands above the belt."
"Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."
One of the criteria for picking the target is the target's vulnerability ... the other important point in the choosing of a target is that it must be a personification, not something general and abstract."
"The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength."
If people of our OWN PARTY would stop their B*&^%$#@ and whining... and start being proactive and supportive.
