APPROVAL AMONG GOP VOTERS FALLS BELOW 50 PERCENT

SACRAMENTO - California Republicans, increasingly disenchanted with the war in Iraq, are beginning to abandon President Bush, a development that may threaten the GOP's chances in the 2008 presidential race...

... "Those are devastating numbers," said Republican consultant Karen Hanretty, a former communications director for the state Republican Party. "Republicans are in a real bind now. They will have to make a decision about how and when they start distancing themselves from the Bush legacy."

Republicans vying to succeed Bush in 2008 will have to overcome the general perception of incompetence that has made up his legacy, Hanretty said, from how he handled Hurricane Katrina to the clumsy handling of the dismissals of eight U.S. attorneys currently embroiling the White House....

...Bush's problems stem in part from his credibility problems. Overall, only 28 percent believe he tells the truth, according to the San Jose State poll, while 67 percent don't. Among Republicans, 58 percent believe he tells the truth, and 35 percent don't - a drop from 66 percent who believed him in January.

"There's a huge credibility gap," said Phil Trounstine, the director of the San Jose State poll. "Bush has a tremendous problem in California because a vast majority don't believe he tells the truth and are opposed to the war in Iraq."

Bush bashing in the media and Congress, said veteran Republican political strategist Ken Khachigian, has taken a toll on GOP voters....

So it's not the hundreds of thousands of innocent victims and their forever grieving relatives all aroud the planet - including here... :grr: - and its not the destruction of the middle-class, the destruction of the environment in which the children will have to manage to survive in by being forced to learn how to breathe underwater?, and it's not the absolutely monstruous debt their own grand-kids will still have to pay interests on... and that is just the plain obvious, as the catastrophic stream of preventable disasters that their :puke: chosen-twos & fews have brought along in their sicket-ticket!!

Nooooooo sir! It's their own corporate-owned media!!
