Bush doesn't care what his approval rating is
He doesn't need to run for office again. Cheney couldn't run to
catch a bus...

He doesn't need anyone's support. He's won everything he
could possibly want already :-(

He's free to do whatever is within his power to do. He doesn't
need to care what Americans think of his actions any more.

That really sucks.

2. He's not losing it fast
He's losing his approval ratings fast, but as long as we have a conservative Congress, Bush still has the power to push through his radical agenda.

3. Bush may not care...
but his Republican majority in Congress certainly does, especially when their re-election is in danger because of Bush's whackjob policies.

Not all of them, to be sure, but there are a few who will distance themselves from Bush should the situation become dire. Hell, we've seen both Frist and Santorum do it in the past month or so.

5. Tell that to the republican congress people...
running for reelection in 2006. Me think they are starting to wonder how they can distance themselves from this miserable failure of an adminstration.

6. I hope this is not true....
it is hard to continue a war without public support. The media might finally turn against him. Also he is a malignant narcissist, and by definition, he cares a lot about being admired (prancing codpiece on ship).

7. Remember Nixon
was in his second term when he resigned. He did it because the Republicans realized that if he stayed a vast majority of them would lose their seats. If the current crop of repukes aren't interested in history, they will be history come 2006.

8. bush is good for us....
the nazipoos used to drive me crazy when they would in the smarmiest way possible thank ralph nader for helping geeb win in 2k.....though they never won regardless of ralph, and were forced to resort to larceny (see NORC results). now the fact is geebush is the best thing the democratic liberal left has going for them: bush is making mistakes and the mepublican plan probably is to wind down the bush admin, get on with enjoying life, but! bush maybe realizes he's a dead man if he ever loses power, and the usa aint seen nothing yet.
hahaha

if people on DU aren't going to demand revenge for what the busheviks and mediawhores have done, then maybe DU has gotten too soft(?)
