Democrats Lose Their Edge

I love to see it! So much for change and new leadership.

The Democrats in Congress have lost much of the leadership edge they carried out of the 2006 midterm election, with the lack of progress in Iraq being the leading cause. Their only solace: President Bush and the Republicans aren't doing any better.

Six weeks ago the Democrats held a 24-point lead over Bush as the stronger leadership force in Washington; today that's collapsed to a dead heat. The Democrats' overall job approval rating likewise has dropped, from a 54 percent majority to 44 percent now -- with the decline occurring almost exclusively among strong opponents of the Iraq War.

Democrats did so much damage before Bush ran for office, it seemed that Bush was the only option when he was elected. George tried, and went on to accomplish two things,whether through his own fault, or not. First, he prevented that bore Gore from being elected, and secondly, he now has become the least popular president ever, for which accomplishment Jimmy Carter, I hear, has sent a thank you note!

Prediction- I don't yet see an electable Democrat on the horizon.

Really? Wow? I didn't know that low unemployment rates and a national surplus were damaging our country. The only reason Gore lost was because he had no personality. But I do think he would have been better for this country. Bush and Co. already had plans drawn out to invade Iraq. 9-11 was just what he needed to get the people on his side. He really didn’t want to invade Afghanistan, but he had to as a prequel to the war. There is nothing good that Bush did for this country.
