Americans turn their back on Bush policies

[ghoti]

Good news for people, bad news for corporations.


The Republicans could face a substantial electoral defeat later this year, leaving George Bush a lame-duck president, a poll published on Wednesday suggests. The poll, for the Washington Post and ABC television, confirmed a rapid slide in support for Bush and raised hopes of a Democrat revival by putting the party ahead on all important indicators, from the economy to Iraq and immigration


Bush is now just hovering above lows reached only by presidents Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Harry Truman and his father.

And the part I love the most...


The Democrats are hoping that in November's election they can regain control of the House of Representatives, lost after 40 years in a traumatic Republican landslide in 1994, and possibly gain the Senate. Control of either house would see a series of investigations launched that would add to pressure on Bush in the last two years of his administration.

I heard that John Ellis "Jeb" Bush (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeb_Bush) may run for the Presidency after his brothers term expires?
He is apparently very well liked by his constituency?

something on that page which is scary about Jebb Bush


Bush has also been active in the neo-conservative Project for the New American Century, whose goal is to promote American global leadership. In addition, since 2004, he has been serving a four-year term as a Board Member for the National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB).

WTF?

What did Hitler say?
The Third Reich will last for a thousand years?

Man's problem is his mortality.
What may be the next best thing since sliced cheese today is tomorrow's old news.
The yanks are often too introverted to even know there is life beyond the borders of the USA.

Wasnt his brother involved in the Florida controvacy? Im sure he had something to do with that. Another interesting point about ye olde Jeb. He was in charge of security of the Twin Towers. Up till the day before they came down.

If america doesnt wake up after this, then it doesnt deserve its title as a world leader anymore.

Both Republicans and Democrats are corrupt and no good and besides unless they get rid of the Diebold machines it doesn't matter who the people vote for, they'll win anyway.

Oprah for president!

EDIT - You might be thinking of Marvin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvin_Bush) - Director of Securacom (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Securacom), 1993-2000.

Actually that was Marvin Bush, another brother. (See here (http://www.commondreams.org/views03/0204-06.htm))

Shot, error noted. Still a no Bush is a good Bush. All of them have in some way or another exploited others massivly for their own gain.

Though the fact that Marvin stopped been head of security the day before the twin towers attack is not coincidence.
