[LINK] springheel_jack on the erosion of Bush's base

[rfmcdonald]

[I]t's important to remember why they're upset: Bush isn't murdering enough people, or, to put it a bit more accurately, they're getting the impression from Fox News that he's not. Bush has said some not-absolutely-vicious things about cleaning up New Orleans, for example, and that's right out; he hasn't attacked Iran yet; abortion is still technically legal; Iraq isn't the free-fire zone it needs to be; etc. Things cannot be getting worse fast enough for the American Phalange. Nobody to the left of Franco is going to be able to exploit those cracks. It just means that McCain will have to beat off a challenge from his right during the 2008 primaries. Ha, you didn't know there was anything to the right of McCain? The American right is described by an 'inflationary' cosmology - no matter how radical the current establishment of the party, the territory to the right will expand the boundaries of the political universe at an astounding clip.

Can this possibly happen?

On an unrelated note, I plan on catching V for Vendetta tomorrow at Yorkdale.
