Republicans Stand By Their Man

Believe it or not, despite all the failures, lies, scandals, and wasted money, Republicans are still standing behind President Bush. The latest USA Today/Gallup Poll may show a job approval rating of a mere 37% for President Bush, but among Republicans and those leaning Republican, his job approval rating is 76%. That must place it somewhere around zero for the rest of us. These Republicans are so completely in the dark that 72% of them do not think going into Iraq was a mistake. What this means is any Republican candidate will have to kiss up to Bush and soft-step any criticism of the war to win the party's nomination in the presidential primary. It will be interesting to see whether any Republican can actually do that and remain a credible candidate in the general election.
