Demagogue

Bush just hit 37%, the lowest ever for a CBS poll. Additionally, approval for the Iraq war is 32%, the positive thoughts about the economy are at 32%, a whopping 69% think we're on the wrong track and a mere 26% think we're on the right track. Boo-ya. Additionally, there is also this: this:

Among those most likely to have lost confidence about the nation's direction over the past year are white evangelicals, down 30 percentage points since November, Republican women, down 28 points, Southerners, down 26 points, and suburban men, down 20 points.

Yowzers.

Yes, yes, I hate polls, yadda, yadda, yadda. But I make an exception to these polls, these polls I like very much. All us satan-loving, babykilling, Jesus-hatin' liberals can't help but feel slightly less insane after all these years of saying that Bush is no good. Not only are we feeling somewhat vinidicated but it also looks like it's only the beginning of the GOP's downward spiral.

However, that doesn't mean we can wallow here, put our feet up, for it is high time for the Dems to step up and out. If Dems can't find their voice after receiving a platinum, engraved invitation to stand-for-something-please, then this may be the death knell for both the Dems and the GOP. It might finally be the time for a real political revolution where suddenly it's "in" to be Independent and party-free. Screw the 2 party system, no more parties, just people. Throw ALL the bums out.

No, I'm not high...yet.
