It isn't tearing this left-winger up. Nosiree.
We've got 3 and 1/3 more years of Iraq ahead with him. We've been there for 2 yrs, but the real A'ction" has only been going on for 4 months. And with the polls this low after only 4 months, and no end in sight, I can't see how he's going to pull off a Ronald Reagan Legacy Push with this on his tail. He has 3 more years to soak in it. He won't be able to fob off blame for his actions and have us forget what he did, like we forgot that kennady started Vietnam or Bush Senior sat there for the first 2 years of the Bosnian Crisis and did nothing, and Clinton got the blame. Iraq will ALWAYS be Bush's baby and history is not going to treat him kindly for it. The backlash has barely begun, and it is sad that our brave troops AND the American people have barely begun to pay the price for it--and we are going to have to pay MUCH more.
Even with the Republican majority, he hasn't been able to so a damn thing. This is b/c the American people are starting to see through the sham and don;t like his programs, period. And John McCain pretty much out an end to dreams of steamrolling legislation through Congress without a fight. The Dems can still filbuster anything they please, succesfully. (Witness the ongoing Bolton drama.) amd as someone said recently, as long as they don't have any proposlas of their own, there's nothing for the Reps to do--they can't focus on the other party's deficiencies. ID Bush hasn't been able to get his agenda off the ground by now, with unlimited political power, and a slavering media ready to do his bidding, he;s in trouble. If it wasn't for a possible Supreme Court battle, I'd get a drink and sit back and chortle as the flames begin. And a Suprmee COurt victory woyuldn't change the balance of power in the COurt wither---just replacing one far-right Justice with another.
So I'M laughing allthe way to the bank--or would be, if it wasn't for everyone suffering for Bush's lies.
