The new Harris poll out today paints a stark picture: Bush and Cheney have now been utterly repudiated by the vast majority of the American people:
After a small rise in September, President George W. Bush’s job performance numbers have dropped to right above his lowest ever. Currently, just over one-quarter (27%) of U.S. adults view his job performance positively. The lowest recorded in The Harris Poll® was 26 percent in July of this year. Almost three-quarter of adults (72%) view the president’s job performance in a negative light. In September 2007, three in ten (31%) viewed his job performance positively and two-thirds (67%) negatively.
Vice President Dick Cheney also continues to see near record low job approval – just less than one quarter (23%) of adults view him in a positive light. Like the president, almost three-quarters (72%) view his job performance negatively.
The Republican Party tied itself like a leech to Bush and Cheney when the two Immortal Leaders were reasonably popular. Now they're stuck with them. Democrats, tie these two rejects around the throat of every Republican candidate in America in 2008. Make it clear that EVERY REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE IS PROMISING, IN EFFECT, A THIRD BUSH ADMINISTRATION.
And then watch the damned Republican Party crash and burn like never before.

Is this what you want. A one-party system in America. That is not good for the country. You probably screamed when the Republicans controlled the house, senate and oval office. The best way the our government can go is having a balanced government.
Excuse me, anonymous, but that's utterly ridiculous. It makes no sense at all, and provides no balance, to return to power policies that have proven to be detrimental and unpopular. Miller has never suggested that the republican party as an organization should categorically be removed from public elections or public discourse - which is what some republican officials, such as Rove, appear to want for the democratic party. Miller is saying (if I may be so bold) that congressmen who supported these unpopular policies should not be allowed to slide out from under the consequences of doing so - namely association with those who brought those policies to national prominence. In theory, whether that association is harmful or helpful is irrelevant; give credit where credit is due.
Thank you, paul c.
