Hillary Clinton Closing Gap with John McCain
I guess it should be no surprise since when comparing rhetoric and voting records Democrats and Republicans have to be askign themselves what’s the difference? When progressives tell me they hope McCain gets the nod “because he’s a Republican I could vote for” I get this strange urge to lease the place next to Alec Baldwin where ever it was he escaped to when W won the second term.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - the Republicans are so busy pointing out to Democrats that their party has left them behind that they didn’t notice that the Liberals who abandoned the progressive dominated Democrat party have take over the Republican party. Iit really isn’t surprising, the media wing of the DNC ( main stream media) has kept up the attack on Bush so steadily that rank and file Republicans have had their backs to Bush for the past almost 6 years.
And, as for all the Liberal squawking who could be better examples that this is true than George Bush and John McCain? I mean, “compassionate coservative”? Sad to say that Sen. Zell Miller, a Southern Democrat, is more conservative than either of them.
Which brings me to the incredibly low approval ratings Bush is currently enjoying. They don’t surprise me. But I think the other side puts a lot more stock in them than they should because just because the truely conservative element of the party is unhappy and dragging down his rating doesn’t mean they’ll vote for a Democrat in 2008 because despite the failures of the administration they are still more palatable, to the conservative element of the party, than anything the DNC could offer.
Hm.. Zell Miller… now he’s a Democrat I could vote for.
