There's always a way to spin it otherwise :) And poll methodology is a valid criticism. That's having been said, I think the poll matches the public feeling I sense. I don't think Mr. Bush will be able to recover his credibility without some huge event. And with both parties. There has been one good thing about Mr. Bush's Presidency and it reminds me of Nick Hornby's book High Fidelity. The main character has it pretty good with his current girlfriend but he can't see it because he's convinced there's something better around the corner. This is the place we were in in 2000. Most people felt we needed a change of party - and we got it. What we discovered was the same as Nick Hornby's character: we had it pretty damn good as it was and the other side is no better and maybe a hell of lot worse. So we've learned: The Republican party is no answer to policy problems. What's need is a complete revamping of our political system: 1.) Move to 5 round instant run-off elections. 2.) Move to federally funded presidential elections with 50 in-state debates and a set tour agenda. No private money allowed. 3.) Eliminate the Electoral College. 5.) Move to state funded congressional elections with in-county debates. 6.) Eliminate direct lobbyist-congressman contact. Lobbyists must address Congress as a whole. 7.) Television commercials and other political ads must contain a 10 second response from a bi-partisan analysis group such as FactCheck.org. And some other stuff when I think about it more. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:179976 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
