Polls Starting to Favor Republicans

We can tell how obvious a situation is becoming when even the liberal media Obama propagandists and their polling companies start mentioning it.  And, this political situation is serious enough to get all those socialists in the leadership of the Democrat Party to start getting their Prozac and Zantac prescriptions doubled and refilled.

The “why” of the situation is easy.  Democrats gave away a couple Trillion dollars of our money to prop up quite a few banks, stock and bond traders and private businesses that appeared to be falling on hard times simply because of their own risky actions. 

Of course, many voters also noticed the news last week when, “Members of US House Financial Services Committee Snapped Up or Dumped Bank Stocks as Bottom Fell Out of Market.”  Yeah, not only were legislators and aides on Capitol Hill unconstitutionally involved in schemes to allow the federal government to control many aspects of banking and industry, a number of them were also using this inside information to bet on the stock and bond markets against the instant results of Congress’ actions .  In industry, that would be illegal.  Not for our self-exalted professional legislators though, eh?

Then there’s all the talk of massive budget deficits leaving certain tax increases for our children and grand-children and the rumblings of large tax increases for us next year.  Add into the mix the administration wanting to socialize medicine and their seemingly adamant attempt to control all forms of energy consumption under the false flag of “fighting” global warming.  So, it’s no surprise when Rasmussen reported yesterday that “Just 18% of U.S. voters now say Congress is doing a good or excellent job, down from 23% in May.”  And, again this week, Rasmussen reports that “Republicans Lead Again on Congressional Ballot.”

The correction for some of this, of course, will be to elect some right thinking adults -- in the form of new Republican blood -- to Congress next year and both Rasmussen and Gallup (the far-left’s favorite pollster) are starting to indicate that is likely to happen.  Hence, my remark above that the socialists in the leadership of the Democrat Party are starting to refill their Prozac and Zantac prescriptions.

Yesterday, Gallup reported that “More Americans See Democratic Party as ‘Too Liberal’.” 

A Gallup Poll finds a statistically significant increase since last year in the percentage of Americans who describe the Democratic Party's views as being "too liberal," from 39% to 46%. This is the largest percentage saying so since November 1994, after the party's losses in that year's midterm elections.

Well, Duh. . . !  Democrats are acting like a bunch of Third World socialists and they expect most of the American voters to approve?   Sorry, but this will not happen.  A slim majority bought into the snake-oil style rhetoric of Obama and his band of social-Democrats during the last election cycle.  But, now that these voters have a moment to see and think about the actions associated with those words there’s a minor revolt brewing.

The revolt, of course, will favor Republican candidates next year.  Better yet, if we see these numbers top 50% favoring Republicans, there could be a major wipe-out in Congress next year and Obama will be yet another failed one-term presidency.

Bah-Humbug...

If the Republicans don't start being conservative, what's the point? Enact socialism slower? The deviatiion from conservativism by the republicans is what got us here. Democrates are doing exactly what we know they will do, create bigger, more intrusive government. Yes, the republicans may benefit from a popular backlash to this...but so what? If we can't TRUST them to be conservative...what's the point?

Yes, I will work in support of republicans one more time, burn me again though and it will be the end of the party.

Some of us are out looking for "conservative" liberty-minded Republican candidates for the election next year. It's now tine to get started for the next primary.

Locally, though, we have a great Rep. and want to keep him in office.
