Run like Reagan!
Right now, Bush has upset people enough where this maybe possible.
With a 27% approval before he started insulting the base, I can see where it may have crashed to historic lows since then.

It must be his people.
The RNC needs to embrace Ron Paul in the debates....he may be wrong on the whole 9/11 thing, but forcing the Dems to agree with someone who doesn't think the government should do anything is just funny.
Do we get to keep the Dem congress or can we go back to the R congress (though it's not much help I admit)? I'll still take Bush administration, albeit reluctantly.

Can't decide what I miss more- that Nasdaq tech bubble, hey I think it just this week hit the 50% mark of what its 1999 peak was.
But what I especially miss is our pin prick retaliatory missle strikes on abandoned al qaeda camel tents while M. Atta and the boys were working their way through flight school.
Those were the days all right.

One justification might be that a couple years of Clinton might make it easier to win the WH in 2008, while a couple years of a bumbling and incompetent Bush administration makes it less likely to win the WH in 2008. What do we expect to get done in the next 18 months? The immigration bill? The almost inevitable abandonment of Iraq? CO2 emissions caps (his latest cave)? I don't see anything to look forward to there.

This is like being asked whether you'd rather be poked in the eye with a sharpened pencil or a rusty nail.
So most want to go back to pre 9-11 mindset which a groper in the WH. Look, I don't like the immigration bill anymore than the next one, and I know Iraq is a mess, showing some signs of progress however, but come on people!
You folks can't really mean you want a replay of the whole impeachment saga.
We aren't serious about security. You can tell that much from the immigration bill and the bogus "background checks" that couldn't possibly happen and the fact that it treats Syrian imams exactly the same as Mexican shepherds. There's been enough evidence that the role of DHS is to more to be politically correct, minimize incidents, paper over them, create more union members, and stay in CYA mode than actually secure the United States. I think it will take at least another massive attack before we get serious about security, unfortunately.

That's done. There's no way any SCOTUS nominee makes it through the Senate, unless it's another Souter or Ginsberg.

I'll trade Alberto Gonzales (whom I think is much more of a judicial conservative than he is given credit for) or even another A. Kennedy if Ginsburg, Stevens or Souter step down.

Have you missed the fact that the Dems have been crucifying him for the past 3 months? How likely would they be to confirm him for the Supreme Court? And frankly I can't imagine many Republicans being enthusiastic. He might be conservative but his handling of the Attorney's fiasco has shown him to be utterly incompetent.
I didn't say he'd be confirmable (hence the Kennedy clone part), but my point was that I'll take a "moderate" in trade for a liberal.

It was the public reaction agains the Republicans in the final years of the Clinton Admin that generated the rationale for running as a "compassionate conservative"
an endless loop is before you......
