Bush has repeatedly said that he pays no attention at all to polls. That’s why the White House has one done every single day. (_Every_ president for quite a while has paid attention to polls; it’s just silly for Bush to pretend he doesn’t.) It’s kinda fun to see so many in Bush’s base suddenly notice that he appoints unqualified cronies to important positions. (Seriously, how was Bush capable of _not learning anything_ from the Michael Brown disaster? He immediately sent Karl Rove, for Christ’s sake, to oversee reconstruction, and then made the Miers nomination.) ---

Maybe he thinks it’s like golf and a lower score is better? The radright, or religious right, or the ultracons, whatever you want to call them are all pretty pissed that he did nominate Pat Robertson to the Supreme Court. That’s the problem in building a coalition with the mad. Sooner or later they don’t give a damn if you hold the conch or not. ---

> [@CynicalGabe](#): > > People make a big mistake when they assume that playing on the same team means people are on the same side. I like this as a sig line–words to live by… And, I, a Democrat (former Independent, but you have to choose in IL)–take issue with all that is left if Republicans comment upthread. Not all Reps support Bush–he has to lose his CONSERVATIVE base (ha!). Conservative and Republican are not one and the same. I think they would support Beelzebub himself over any Dem or Independent, so that’s not gonna happen… ---

The point being though that if Shrub continues to have low approval ratings there is some hope that they will generalize to the rest of the Pubbies, in particular whatever candidate steps forward in '08 to lift up the standard that Shrub has carried so admirably for the last five years. ---

I figured that was what was meant, but I doubt that it’ll happen. The base is starting to get upset with _Bush_. That may very well not carry over to Republicans-in-general.
