Denis, Bush has lost some credibility in my eyes, but I admit I do not read the newspaper or watch the news. At best, I catch NPR in the late afternoon maybe once a week.

For me, the issue is support Bush or look for an alternative. The Democrats haven't presented anything appealing. Seems to me the 2 parties are identical aside from lip service. I wish there was a legitimate and honest third party. The problem with the two parties is they hash out too many ideas with no roots in reality. No one wants to address real solutions, because sometimes real solutions means pissing off the wrong people (i.e. Bush and his immigrant policy). In exchange, we see politicians trade barbs and sling mud. I'd much rather see them talk about how they can make the country better. Even if I don't agree with a "real" solution, I still respect the effort.

No matter who is in office, somebody, somewhere, will hate his guts. Who's the last president who received unanimous love and adoration?
