George Bush will not be on the presidential ticket. His popularity seems likely set new record lows. Yet a liberal advocacy group is planning to spend $8.5 million on an anti-Bush campaign:
Americans United for Change plans to undertake a yearlong campaign, spending the bulk of the money on advertising, to keep public attention on what the group says are the Bush administration's failures, including the war in Iraq, the response to Hurricane Katrina and the current mortgage crisis.
In selling the plan to fundraisers, the group has argued that support for President Reagan was at a low of 42 percent in 1987 but climbed to 63 percent before he left office. "All of a sudden he became a rallying cry for conservatives and their ideology," said Brad Woodhouse, the group's president. "Progressives are still living with that."
This is insane even for Bush Derangement Syndrome. Let them spend their money. Of course, if Hillary becomes president, we will have at least four more depressing years of Clinton Derangement Syndrome. This stuff just keeps multiplying in toxicity.
