How Bad Will It Be?
Fred knows the direction of the campaigns and public opinion are bad. He still can't get himself to see why. For example, Bush is still a great leader to Fred. Observe [emphasis mine]:
In [Bush's] stump speeches, the president concentrates on terror and taxes. And the contrast he draws between terror-fighting, tax-cutting Republicans and wimpy, taxaholic Democrats is reasonably accurate. But it's failing to attract independents or lure disgruntled conservatives back to the Republican fold. Should Democrats capture the House, "they would raise your taxes and figure out new ways to spend your money," Bush said at a rally in Chicago last week. "It's amazing what happens when you cut taxes. The economy grows [and] you end up with more tax revenues." On national security, he said, "If the security of the United States is the most important issue, then part of this issue is which party has been willing to step up and give those charged with protecting you the tools necessary to do so." He didn't need to identify which party has and which hasn't.
He doesn't seem to realize that the reason why the GOP is doing so badly - because the GOP has spent money without raising taxes, meaning we're in debt to China and Mexico. And the GOP has talked like macho goons but have *not* protected us, as seen by the debacle in Iraq and North Korea getting nukes.
Ah well, maybe the Democrats can win in November. Then our long national and international nightmare can be stopped.
