Frist blames CNN for low Republican poll numbers

Frist: "It ain't my fault!"

Republicans blame CNN for their low poll numbers and blame the New York Times for Bush's domestic spying. Next thing you know Star Jones will accuse Barbara Walters of firing her from "The View".

Bush and Frist should focus on what their voters expected of them, which includes reduction in federal spending, where they have failed astoundingly. On Larry Kudlow's show the other night, he and some fellow economists showed that had Bush's congress held federal spending increases down to the levels of the Clinton years, there would be zero federal deficit today. This is because the flush inpouring of tax revenues (thanks to the cuts in tax rates), congress could have maintained budget increases... so long as those increases didn't exceed the increases of the Clinton years.

Republicans have also failed in their expectation to deliver a less-currupt govt than did the demos during the Clinton years.

I think that there are plenty of factual reasons for repo voters to turn away, or at least to tell pollsters that they "disapprove". We also expected Bush to make an aggressive play at privatized SS and a flat tax, but that never played out.

Impossible to hold spending down when you are colonizing Southwest Asia...
