What I find interesting about this thread (and others like them on other boards, adult and non-adult) is that there seems to be a very strong shift away from Bush. A year ago, it was "Bush rules... kick some muslim butt" - and anyone who said anything different got beaten like a red headed step child. Now I see more and more people "defending" the Kerry side. Heck, even Drudge has been pretty good about putting up the truth about those sneaky ass swift boat liars.
People just seem to be connecting the dots on Bush at the last minute, and are starting to realize they have been "bushed".

It just depends on your starting point and the story you want to tell. While it's true that Bush approval is down from 55% to 46% over the past year his approval is up from 41% to 46% since May. Despite the summer release of "Fahrenheit 911" and the Democratic Convention Bush's popularity has risen throughout the campaign season.
An anti-Bushite looks and says "Bush's approval is dropping". A Bushite looks and says "Bush's approval is rising". Both are right.
