Here's another measure of how much trouble President Bush is in politically: Even once-loyal Republican activists are complaining that Bush's senior advisers, including political architect Karl Rove, don't want to listen to their ideas about changing policy in Iraq.
"They just get mad when we bring it up, so we leave it alone," says a prominent conservative who talks regularly to White House officials. The result is that even GOP insiders are losing faith in Bush's Iraq policies, including the "surge"(called reinforcements by republican debaters) of 21,500 troops.
The Bush team's main goal is to get everyone in GOP circles to repeat the White House talking points to the media, according to several GOP activists.
