Believe me there is not much trust in either party. The Republicans will be fine, the Democrats keep shooting themselves in the foot.

I'm neither Republican or Democrat, however I think you should be careful in assuming that we're "safe" from Republican rule for a while. Yes, George W. has been canker sore on America for the past two terms. However, that doesn't mean that all of America will never elect a Republican ever again. There are a lot of die hard opinionated people who will always vote the party line, right or wrong.
It takes a lot of courage to look at what's going on, recognize the inconsistencies and deceit, look at what you stand for, what the people around you stand for and then say to yourself, "OMG! I've been so wrong. I'll never vote Republican again!" Especially if all of your family and friends are Republican, it's just to scary to do anything different.
If you don't want a Republican president ever again, it's going to take massive amounts of hard work and determination on the part of many many more people than George W. Bush. He's a screw up for sure, but he's not the end of the Republican party.

Nah, peoples memories don't go back that far.
Not to mention there are a lot of republicans who still think that dubya is doing a 'heckuva job'.
Unless the democrats really screw up (or if a popular third party candidate soaks up a bunch of their votes) then it is unlikely that a republican candidate has a chance in hell (unless they can successfully distance themselves from bush, the iraq mess, etc.).
Within 8 years (with no 9/11 style attacks), the GOP noise-machine will have convinced a sufficient portion of the population that 'liberals' are 'destroying america' and will elect another useless republican moron like dubya.
And any work that the democrats managed to get done will be scrapped.

I think that George Bush should have taken different angles with this war, however, when we signed on to go to war he said it would be a long drawn out process. I don't think that the whole republican party should suffer just because of one man. I will still vote for a republican because I want to vote for someone who stands up for what I believe in which is abortion should be illegal, gay people should not be legally married, and that we do need to secure the borders so people will have to come into this country legally. My personal belief is that if someone is a true christian, they are being a hypocrite if they vote for a democrat. Those who aren't Christians, it doesn't really matter. I do know that if a democrat gets voted into office, you'd better kiss America goodbye because we will be taken over by another country or blown off this planet anyway.

Dream on, Cal. After the American people realize how badly they've been screwed by the current Democratic majority in Congress (whose approval rating is even LOWER than Dubya's) and when they really examine the idiots running for the Democratic nod, they'll be bringing back Republicans forever.

Hahaha, I think you are dreaming. How are you so sure that these polls are polling registered voters? Most people don't vote for the party but for the person. I can't wait to see the look on the Democrats faces when they lose the election. They are counting on people voting for them by telling voters what they would have done better.

the dems will be lucky to win the election after next. you forget about the SUPER short collective memory of the american people. remember don imus? the meida started to get into why blacks are allowed to say things whites arnt. and then the incident at VT happened. the US forgot all about imus and the black white thing. and that is just one example.
what matters most to people is everyday lives. now if bush made it illegal to drive more than 10 miles at a time, for example, then he would be hated by everyone.

Democrats aren't doing much better. The reason being is that both parties are bought and paid for by special interests and globalist elite. And we wonder why both parties are at historic lows in approval? because we've caught on to thier scam!

Nope, it will continue to flip back and forth. In the next 50 years, I predict we'll even see a third-party candidate win!!!
Just for the record, I don't approve of GWB. But I don't think people will vote Democratic for 50 years. (Even tho' it would be nice!!!) LOL

LOL, that's what you said after Clinton won. The country has already had enough of the democrat Congress, as you can tell by the approval numbers.
