HOW LOW CAN IT GO? It seems that the president's approval ratings are down again, and they're asking this morning just how low President Bush's approval rating can go. Well ... I guess that depends. On what? OK ... here's a short list of just a few things: 1.How long the media can go without reporting the good things that are happening in Iraq. 2.How long Bush can go without responding positively to those eight out of ten Americans who want the border between Mexico and the United States secured! And that means SHUT DOWN! 3.How long the media can go without accurately and enthusiastically reporting to the American people that our economy is strong and growing and that household net worth and home ownership is at an all-time high. 4.How long Bush can go without actually vetoing a spending bill from this free-spending Republican-controlled congress. Well .. that took just a few seconds. Give me some time and I could add quite a few more points, but I'm hungry and it's time for breakfast. boortz.com

Yes, I know all that, Shorty.... As I've stated here many times, the Clinton/Gore administration was NO FRIEND of American privacy rights! (It's unfortunate that the second Bush administration is no better... possibly even worse in that regard.) You see: the Authoritarian impulse in politicians is essentially bi-partisan. It is a rare pol indeed these days, who can rise above expedience and think of the long-term need to preserve liberty.
