Republicans will not lose because they lose the Democrat vote - which is really quite irrelevant. They’ll lose if they lose my vote. If I get so fed up with Republicans’ failure to protect borders, slash spending, and execute Mary McCarthy for treason - so fed up that I don’t vote, then Republicans are in trouble.Exactly. Why is the Bush administration in so much trouble currently? It isn't because the liberals are pissed off. The liberals have always been pissed off. It is because the Republicans are unhappy too. The War is losing salience as a political issue and Bush's domestic agenda is way too moderate for most of the conservatives who elected him.
How can he fix it? As much as the current administration wants to pretend this is an image issue it isn't. The administration is pushing too much compassion and not enough conservative. Start pushing fiscal responsibility which everyone wants on both sides of the aisle. Stop pushing big government programs that no one wants and we can't afford. Hey presto the presidents approval ratings will go up.
