Bush's approval rating hits new low

US President George W Bush's approval rating has tumbled to an all-time low of 29 per cent.

The latest Harris Interactive Poll in the Wall Street Journal shows the President's approval rating dropping from 35 per cent to 29 per cent in the space of a month.

Nearly 70 per cent of those polled believed the country was heading in the wrong direction.

The only other presidents whose ratings have dipped into the 20s are Jimmy Carter, Harry Truman and Richard Nixon.

The factors contributing to this loss of public support, include the war in Iraq and rising petrol prices.

Alarmingly for Mr Bush, another opinion poll this week highlighted a sharp drop in support from Republican voters, who have previously stood by him.

Conservatives finally get Bush is not one of them

Thanks for nothing, "conservatives." Now you finally figure it out. While George Walker Bush ran for president under the banner of compassionate conservatism, in real life there is nothing compassionate or conservative about his sorry excuse of a presidency.

Longtime conservative activist Richard Viguerie wrote in The Washington Post last week that Bush "talked like a conservative to win our votes but never governed like a conservative." At last the right sees the light. The basic tenets of true conservatism are supposed to be fiscal responsibility and smaller, less intrusive government. Mr. Bush has delivered on none of those principles, giving this nation instead an ignorant and incompetent administration of financial folly and Big Brother, big government of "one nation under surveillance."

Viguerie is the author of a new book, "Conservatives Betrayed: How Big Government Republicans Hijacked the Conservative Cause." He says archly, "It is not entirely true that Bush has betrayed everyone. The one percent of his voter support that came from big business corporate America - he's been truthful to them. They have gotten the legislation, the appointments. I can't think of any issue that they have strongly supported where Bush has opposed them."

In the May 15 edition of The New York Times, Viguerie sounded the same note of right-wing disenchantment with the imitation conservative Bush Leaguers who currently infest the White House, the courts and the Congress. "There is a growing feeling among conservatives that the only way to cure the problem is for Republicans to lose the Congressional elections this fall," he said. "I can't tell you how much anger there is at the Republican leadership. I have never seen anything like it."

One can only hope that the Republican Reich will get a much-deserved drubbing in the upcoming midterm elections, but with the spinelessness of most Democrats on the national stage, one should also wish that there was a way to drive out the repugnant Republicans without putting in the diffident Democrats.

While right-wingers like Viguerie have finally voiced anger over the Bush crew's spiraling spending, war in Iraq and immigration policies, the Bible-brandishing God squad of the religious right is demanding more from a president who has already genuflected to their atavistic agenda since he took office after the "judicial coup" of the 2000 election-turned-selection.

Christian conservative crybaby James C. Dobson of the group Focus on the Family is angry with the Bush administration and Congress because of such issues as stem cell research and a hate crime bill that would extend protections to gay Americans. For too long, the Bush administration has appeased the legions of the religious right by making noises about the president's professed Christianity while showing no Christian stewardship of the environment at home and raining down death and destruction in Iraq. No wonder that anti-war protesters often carry signs asking, "Who would Jesus bomb?"

Abraham Lincoln famously warned politicians that they can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time. The drastically and deservedly dwindling demographic of Dubya's dupes is dropping by the day. Bush's job-approval ratings are down to the sub-basement levels that Richard Nixon endured just before he resigned rather than face impeachment for his role in the Watergate caper.

Now even some conservatives are catching on to the fact that Bush's brand of governance is just so much political phony baloney. The Bush administration proves the truth of Lincoln's words: "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." Bush flunks the test.

Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming (just barely.)

It's getting tough to be a Bush Kool-Aid slurper these days.

A little historical (or is it hysterical?) perspective...

Indeed.

It will take decades to undo the damage this handjob administration has done to America.

No kidding.

Even more troubling is the existence of people like DBruleU whose only concern is a "win" for "Team GOP" - even when the GOP stands exposed as a conga line of crooks and swindlers drowning in a cespool of corruption.

To people like DBruleU, loyalty to a political party is no different than loyalty to a football team.

Bingo.

One of Clinton's biggest mistakes was letting Poppy Bush and the rest of the Iran-Contra gang off the hook.

What happened was that these bastards lived to fight another day (many of them showing up in the Bush II administration) and America got scammed again.
