What you need to understand is that many people in this country agree with him on this issue, which is why there is such a visciousness(sp?) in the opposition to President Bush. This is not like 1992 when his father lost. Even if the economy gets better, I think it will be a close race.

This is nothing, but if he continues along these lines he will push away the middle of the road voters. The rhetoric of Dean brought about his demise. Kerry making the same unsubstantiated claims will do the same. It will attract liberals like flies to manure but it won't help with the swing voters.
Despite what you would like to believe, not everyone believes Bush and his colleagues are "crooked", at least no more than the rest of the politicians.
