**The Republicans seem to be leaving their party in droves. With NYC's Mayor Bloomberg declaring himself an Independent, it makes you wonder how many others, less visible, have also decided to leave Bush's party.

A new Gallup Poll will only reinforce those who claim that while the rich get richer most Americans don't feel they are sharing in the growth in our economy. The stock market may be climbing and the unemployment remains relatively low, but 7 in 10 Americans believe the economy is getting worse -- the most negative reading in nearly six years.
Only one in three Americans rate the economy today as either excellent or good, while the percentage saying the economy is getting better fell from 28% to 23% in one month.....
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the economy is bad. With gasoline prices high, food and other materials have gone up in price. People have to pay more but their incomes have not increased. Blame it on the Bush administration.
