The President needs to go on the offensive. This is the best year of the Bush presidency, the economy is just on fire. 3.8% GDP growth, minimum inflation, and full employment, yet the media is screwing us up. If the media was conservative Bush would have 65% JA because of the economy and the successes of Iraq. Bush needs to go on the offensive. He can fight back. This white house has always had a communication problem the only time I didn't was last election and thats why Bush won.
He also may need to make some personal changes. As bad as it may seem to us, firing Cheney maybe a good idea. Getting rid of Cheney and naming someone like George Allen as VP would be great. Not only will we remove someone synonymous with hatred and controversy, we will also be putting a true conservative in line for 2008.
Actually Dubya won election in 2000, added seats in 2002, and won re-election in 2004 by not going on offensive against the rats. Why change a winning stratagy just because the rats and mainstream media say so? Why are you quick to believe media polls and not successful elections, wars, legislation, and judical appointments?

What a terrible idea? I thought conservatives didn't care about popular opinion, but rather doing whats right. Removing Cheney would be rewarding the rats for throwing their stupid phoney tantrum. Screw the rats and media.

Really.
Firing Cheney, the best VP in our lifetimes?
What a dumb idea. Sounds like something the Democrats would *love* to see.
You reason like a northeast Republican.
Why would we want to take George Allen out of the senate?
Replacing an elected VP with a non-elected one could easily lead to another Gerald Ford disaster. And its just plain bad for democracy.
Bush shouldn't be taking sides in the 2008 GOP nomination process. Besides, VPs make terrible presidential candidates. Review the history. The few sitting VPs who actually get elected always are one-termers.
Nixon was defeated as a sitting VP. Truman and Johnson both came in because of death, and both knew better than to run for a 2nd elected term and lose. Bush 41 was a one-termer. Gore and Mondale and Ford all lost.
Former governors tend to be two-termers. Congressmen have the worst luck of all.
Personally, I'm liking Mitt Romney. He's working for Republican causes like traditional marriage, the death penalty, and immigration. He's articulate and looks presidential. He's also proved he can win even a Democrat heavy state as Massachusetts. Yes, he's marginally pro-choice, but so was Reagan and Bush Sr. before they entered national politics. Romney is personally opposed to abortion, and I expect to see him begin modifying his stance after he is re-elected in 2006.
