CBS: The latest CBS News poll finds President Bush’s approval rating has fallen to an all-time low of 34 percent, while pessimism about the Iraq war has risen to a new high.

Americans are also overwhelmingly opposed to the Bush-backed deal giving a Dubai-owned company operational control over six major U.S. ports. Seven in 10 Americans, including 58 percent of Republicans, say they’re opposed to the agreement.

Truthdig says: In the last 30 years, only a Watergate-stained Nixon had a worse approval rating than Bush’s current level of 34%.

Of course, CBS’ polling methodology has its critics on the right.

Well, at least we have 9 senators who are not traitors. and traitors and cowards are what we have in the congress. No one with a backbone or a moral compass and we are lost as a nation. sad, sad times indeed.

The following is from the Port Huron Statement, the 1962 manifesto of the Students for a Democratic Society:

6. America should agree that public utilities, railroads, mines, and plantations, and other basic economic institutions should be in the control of national, not foreign, agencies. The destiny of any country should be determined by its nationals, not by outsiders with economic interests within.


It’s official: George W. Bush is to the left of Tom Hayden!
