None of them do. They're using the worst kind of playground tactics, bullying, tattle-telling, and outright lying, and the good people of this country are appalled by it. After all, we all spent time on the playground. Many msn types and bloggers see the tipping point as Katrina. I say it was poor Terri Schiavo. At that point, the happy clown mask was stripped off to reveal the Freddy Kruger who wanted to control even our most private moments, and laugh about them afterward. It was then that the good folks woke up from their Republican-induced hypnosis and realized how evil these guys can really be. He doesn’t know what to do. None of them do.

This shift gives me hope that many knee-jerk voters might gain some much needed maturity, maturity being the ability to make finer and finer distinctions. Yeah, I guess I'm an optimist.

There is no come back in his future because the time for him to be honest with the American people has come and gone. Where do you think he will fly off to when his polling numbers hit 35%?

His arrogance on the world stage is a bigger problem for America than the Iraqi fiasco. Bush doesn't have the right stuff for real leadership or honesty. He'll continue with his gimmickry of sound bites and photo-ops to create the illusion of substance of character, but he remains a shell of a man. He's an asswipe! an empty suit...a butt weasel..a flim flam man. I want to see him go down in flames..big time!

It's nice to see him getting on board, but it would have been a whole lot nicer if he'd used some of that in his campaign last year. (But then I thought, Wait a minute. You know things are bad for Bush if even John Kerry feels safe to attack him now.)

Well, you stink worse’ mode and try to work with Congress, including Democratic members, to create a real exit strategy with authentic bipartisan support, I think Bush’s poll numbers might stop falling.” That would require a remarkable step in the direction of maturity and honesty that isn't in this guy (yet). He's too busy being a childish brat. And it shows, and it's going to kill him, with every word that comes out out of his spoiled mouth. And the whole world must put up with this childishness for the next three years, unless he can be made to somehow step aside. “I honestly believe that if Bush could get out of his ‘Oh, yeah?
