Reply #8: Bush will not go down [View All]

[Imajika]

The problem here is that far too many get way too excited with every Bush administration scandal.

Scandals happen in every administration. It is VERY, VERY hard to impeach a President or force one out of office.

Things like ENRON, Bush Knew, Cheney Energy Papers and Niger-Uranium come along and everyone on DU jumps to the conclusion that Bush is going to go "down".

It is just not likely to happen that way. This actually adds to the cynicism and feelings that Rove is somehow all powerful (which he is most definately not).

Expectations are way to high. Instead of thinking that every scandal will bring Bush "down", just think of all of these scandals as chipping away at his popularity and credibility.

We need to focus on 2004. Just assume Bush will be in office for the next election. Now think of all these stories, issues and scandals as dents in his armor - sometimes small, sometimes larger.

With the right candidate and a good campaign we should be able to use all of these scandals to our advantage and be running for the big prize against a much weakened Bush.
