Repudiating the Neocons

Bush, to use his father's expression, is in deep doo. Even National Review and Fox News agree. First, in a campaign report entitled Bush and Congressional Job Ratings Hit Historic Lows, Fox says this about the W legacy:

With far more Americans identifying themselves as Democrats than Republicans, President Bush’s job rating has hit a new low, according to the latest FOX News poll. Three in 10 Americans (30 percent) now approve of the job Bush is doing as the nation’s leader, with 6 in 10 disapproving.

While disapproval of the president has been higher (for example, 61 percent in both July and March of 2007), his approval rating has never sunk this low before.

And National Review sees disaster ahead for Republicans:

Currently, voters are voting for Senator Barack Obama over Senator John McCain, 46% to 38% respectively. Sixteen percent (16%) are undecided. This vote is being driven largely by President George W. Bush’s low opinion ratings. Those favorable to President Bush (37% total) are voting for Senator McCain 74% to 15% for Senator Obama. Those unfavorable to President Bush (54% total) are voting for Senator Obama 69% to 14% for Senator McCain.

Not that I look forward to what the leftist, anti-Western Obama is going to attempt once he's in power, but it is gratifying to see how the American people are rejecting the Neocon agenda of endless war and global hegemony. Those who vote against a "third Bush term" do so because they're using all the veto power they have against the delusional Neocon program. Voters have no appetite for it anymore, no matter what chickenhawks like Bill Kristol and Dick Cheney imagine.
