AP Poll: Bush approval hits low point

Something is definitely happening to the GOP.

Looks like fear and hatred turned inward. It is remarkably like what often happens in an individual when fear and hatred are turned in on the self.

I am reminded of John Dean's book, Conservatives without Conscious, in which he makes the case that the new conservatives are authoritarians. He will get no argument from me. As a generalization, it is as accurate they get.

In their disintegration, they very much appear as authoritarian followers and leaders.

This is not news we can afford to celebrate just yet.

People of the authoritarian persuasion can be dangerous when in meltdown, both individually and as a group, until they start to splinter.

AP Poll: Bush approval hits low point - Yahoo! News:

WASHINGTON - Public approval of the job
President Bush is doing now matches its all-time low, with widespread discontent over how he is handling the war in
Iraq, efforts against terrorism and domestic issues, an AP-Ipsos poll released Thursday said.

Only 32 percent said they were satisfied with how Bush is handling his job, the same low point the measure hit last January.

On issue after issue, approval of Bush's efforts matched previous lows, underscoring the challenges Republican presidential and congressional candidates will confront next year when they face voters.
