>>71% of Americans disapprove of the way our government is being run.<<

The small saving grace in these polls for President Bush is that the American public's approval rating of Congress is even lower.

Do you honestly think that the Democrats are, at present, offering the American public much of an alternative? Those Democrats who are presently preening themselves for the presidential contest in 2008 are more hawkish than Bush himself in regard to Iraq, and now Iran. They openly promise that they will do Iraq "right" by sending even more US troops there and they have all, in advance, co-signed the political tickets for a US military campaign against Iran should its nuclear program not be shut down entirely.

Moving towards the Congressional elections in November, the Democrats are keeping a politically low profile, offering little that is new while hoping to win be default. This is exactly what Kerry did in 2004. On the Republican side, President Bush's behind the scene man, Karl Rove, is touring the Republican landscape and actually using the threat of a Democrat takeover of Congress as the means to rally disheartened Republicans to the cause of keeping the Democrats out of office. In effect, the American public is already being offered an election of no alternatives. They can vote for either party, but no matter which party wins, they will get more war in the Middle East, with the Democrats only promising to fight the war in Iraq "better".
