Bush's Support Is Almost Non-Existent

It is being reported that Bush will call for an additional 20,000 troops tonight, but opposition to his plan is growing fast on the right side of the aisle:

Democratic leaders said Tuesday that they intended to hold symbolic votes in the House and Senate on President Bush’s plan to send more troops to Baghdad, forcing Republicans to take a stand on the proposal and seeking to isolate the president politically over his handling of the war.

A vote like this would have had problems passing the Senate when you got people like Joe Lieberman helping make up the Democratic majority, but his opposition to the Democratic position may be moot now:

But Republican officials conceded that at least 10 of their own senators were likely to oppose the plan to increase troops levels in Iraq. And Democrats were proposing their resolution with that in mind, hoping to send a forceful message that as many as 60 senators believed strengthening American forces in Baghdad was the wrong approach. Democratic leaders said they expect all but a few of their senators to back the resolution.

Bush is all alone on this, and refuses to listen to the Congress, Generals and American public. He is acting like an emperor and needs to be stopped. Saying we won’t look towards impeachment is the worse case of partisan politics. The Democrats must look at this possibility and start holding Bush accountable. If they don’t, then 2008 will be a very rough year for them.
