Bushism Imperiled

by Patrick J. Buchanan


Six months after a re-election that strengthened his forces in both houses and left Democrats wondering whether they had irretrievably lost Middle America, George W. Bush is mired in a Slough of Despond.

The salad days of the second Inaugural, the Iraqi election, and State of the Union are receding into memory, as his approval rating sinks to the lowest depths of his presidency. It is hard to see what turns it around. As Claudius lamented in Hamlet, “when troubles come they come not single spies but in battalions.�

At this writing, it is 50-50 the president can save John Bolton, his nominee to be UN ambassador, and the media wolf pack is in full howl in pursuit of Tom DeLay. Even if Bolton survives and DeLay eludes his media pursuers and ethics committee and Justice investigators, Bush is bleeding from both battles.


But it is on the great issuesâ€â€

Patrick Buchanan would make a BETTER president.

I will never forget when he said -I believe it was during or before the Clinton administration that we needed to get marines on the border. Bush needs to be impeached immediately.

BUSH NEEDS TO BE IMPEACHED IMMEDIATELY!!

This has almost become a mantra for Americans everywhere. Surely the Congress can see this? Where is our petition?

If his poll numbers fall any further, and I believe they will as he pushes for CAFTA...it will be de facto impeachment. Politicians of every stripe will hang free of him as if he were a rabid dog.

Bush contemptuously dismissed as “irrational vigilantes� those Middle American Minutemen who volunteered to go to the border at Douglas, Arizona, to focus attention on the invasion. But, as April ends, the Minutemen are going home with universal praise for the peacefulness of their protest and the astonishing success they had, sitting in lawn chairs with binoculars and cell phones, in curbing the invasion of their country.

Buchanan is a very thoughtful man and has often been marginalized by the left because he has firm positions on many issues. He thinks and acts much like Ronald Reagan, otherwise known as Ronaldus Magnus, the greatest President of the twentieth century. We need a President with a spine.

Bush's contempt for the minutemen and what they are trying to do has lost him a ton of support. I hope to be able to join the MM on a project soon. Lawn chairs and binoculars are not as good as troops and tanks, but they will have to do for now, I suppose.
