Finaly the American Public starts to wake up...

First from Rogue Angel:

Bush hits a new low ...

Rising gas prices and ongoing bloodshed in Iraq continue to take their toll on President Bush, whose standing with the public has sunk to an all-time low, according to the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll.

The people aren't very happy with Republican leadership ...

The poll numbers paint a portrait of national frustration with the direction and leadership of the country, which, if not reversed in coming months, is likely to color the environment for next year's midterm elections, putting incumbents in both parties on the defensive.

Dissatisfaction is not limited to the president. Fewer than four in 10 Americans -- 37 percent -- approve of the way the Republican-controlled Congress is doing its job, the lowest rating for lawmakers in nearly eight years.

While on the Right, Conservatives debate impeaching Bush.... The issue? Illegal immigration, but let's face it, that is one of the least of this Administration's problems.

I get the feeling that the Kool Aide rations are getting a bit low and that many Republicans and Conservatives are waking up to the fact that they elected an incompetent administration for a second time. Rather than acknowledge that mistake, they seek an issue, any issue, to create an out... As long as it is something that they can all agree on. The truth is that this administration has been an utter failure in almost everything it has attempted.

* We were attacked and thousands died on 9/11 because this administration failed to pay attention to warning signs.

* They failed to capture the man responsible for 9/11 in Afghanistan.

* Our Energy policy has resulted in American's being gouged at the Gas Pump, while Oil Companies and the Saudis make record profits on oil revenue.

*Cronyism has led to companies like Haliburton war profiteering to obscene new levels.

*The American public was led into an unnecessary and illegal war in Iraq that has led to tens of thousands of deaths, many more wounded and a country now ravaged by virtual civil war.

*The country is more divided than ever, and the President who promised to be a "uniter instead of a divider," has instead pushed a Right Wing Agenda and Nominees to important post that have led to further division. (Think anti Gay).

*The administration has practiced bully tactics unprecedented since the Nixon Years, with CIA agents being outed and dissenters being smeared on a regular basis.

All in all, this administration stinks to high heaven. That even Republicans are getting sick of it is no surprise. The Surprise is that it took this long!

The funniest part of the wizbung! post is where Jay says this about Pat...

"I think he deliberately caters to the worst in his readers, and he often throws bombs just to stir up the whackoes."

...AND IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO THE BOMB LOGO FOR THEIR SITE!

I really hate to admit it, but David A is right, and this is coming from a old school conservative who supported and watched as Pat Buchanan was thrown out of the GOP. I was looking for somewhere to vent concerning the rocketing price of fuels that run our Nation, and came across this site. I hope that my diatribe does not step on too many toes, but here is my Question:

Why is it that we automatically stop a store owner from taking advantage of a crisis and raising prices. In this situation, we are being asked to give out of our pockets to help the disaster from Katrina and it is FAST becoming impossible for MANY to afford to simply drive back and forth to work?
It is fact that the oil companies are making big bucks, have been for quite some time. The spin is that their profits do not come from gasoline sales, but other areas of their operations. I do not know, but doubt that this is true. Irregardless, Exxon, et al, are profiteering at a time of National crisis. I guess it is pretty comforting to have oil men in the top two positions of our governmen at this time.

Sorry, I have to ammend my previous post-
I supported Pat Buchanan, and watched, as he was thrown out of the GOP. Thanks.
