Recent polls indicate that George Bush and his Republican Party friends in the Senate and House have an approval rating equal to the lowest numbers yet. Poll article Not a surprise as George Bush has violated the fundamental rule of the Presidency. He is not working for the benefit of the people of the United States.
In spite of the abysmal poll numbers, Bush is working to continue with his domestic policy of rollback. He intends to take away all entitlement programs instituted, some from the Roosevelt Administration. Social Security is still on his list of "things' to do or in this case things to remove. Entitlement cuts article Considering how tragically unpopular both Bush and his agenda are, this does not stop him from pursuing rollback. It is important to protest and speak out.
With Lamont coming from nowhere in a matter of months and beating an incumbent in Lieberman primarily on the issue of the Iraq War, Hillary Clinton is similarly ripe for dethronement. I am not a supporter of Clinton as she has provided full approval for the Neo Conservative agenda of endless war, particularly Iraq. I am therefor a supporter of Jonathan Tasini. Tasini website Review his position papers and you will find a true progressive in the best tradition.
Also there is a Congressional race that is shaping up very well. This involves Sweeney versus Kirsten Gillibrand. Gillibrand is the Democrat and I support her candidacy. At this point it is highly plausible that she can unseat Sweeney and this is tremendously good news. Kirsten Gillibrand website
