Liberal Group Plans Yearlong Anti-Bush Campaign; Goal Is to Deny Positive Legacy

A liberal advocacy group plans to spend $8.5 million in a drive to ensure that President Bush's public approval doesn't improve as his days in the White House come to an end.

Americans United for Change plans to undertake a yearlong campaign, spending the bulk of the money on advertising, to keep public attention on what the group says are the Bush administration's failures, including the war in Iraq, the response to Hurricane Katrina and the current mortgage crisis.

In selling the plan to fundraisers, the group has argued that support for President Reagan was at a low of 42 percent in 1987 but climbed to 63 percent before he left office. "All of a sudden he became a rallying cry for conservatives and their ideology," said Brad Woodhouse, the group's president. "Progressives are still living with that."

The group is a nonprofit corporation that made a splash by airing ads against Bush's plans to overhaul Social Security in 2005. The group has conducted polls and focus groups and is now raising money for their anti-Bush effort. It gave a Power Point presentation last week to representatives of about 30 liberal and labor organizations.

4. What a waste of money

There is nothing that is going to improve the image of that man Believe that 8.5 mil could be better spent getting more Democrats elected to the Congress and more to the point the Presidencey.

6. That's not really the point

And if the Democrats really wanted to hold Bush accountable, chances are this money would be funneled into their campaigns.
