Republican Leading in Poll on all major issue

[Double Trouble]

All issues =

That's a pretty good cartoon No doubt the bad economy is working as a headwind against the democrats, but they haven't helped their own cause much either. Pushing bills the public didn't want (health care etc), taking the wrong side on the illegal immigration issue, pushing cap & tax and pushing tax hikes in this economy just made things that much worse.

The republicans have not come up with any new ideas or solutions, but the democrats keep handing them wonderful hammers to just keep bashing them over the head with: "hey, lets talk about raising taxes! (not extending the tax cuts)... Oh, here ya go mr republican, have another hammer. Then, we can talk about this wonderful mosque at ground zero.. have another hammer. Then, maybe we can sue Arizona for trying to protect its borders... have another hammer" etc etc etc.

Spidey&Co are victims of propaganda and their own imaginations. Not only are they in denial about the truth, they believe in lies, and promulgate them. What they're so firmly against exists in their imaginations only, like the idea that they're being repressed by the lowest federal tax rates in 60 years-

That TARP was Obama's doing, that Bush didn't start the stimulus packages with tax rebates in 2008, and that it's all Obama's fault... well, except for the part that's Clinton's fault...

They just know what they're against, evil libruhls, and don't have more than a vague notion about what they're actually for, except that they want the team who led us into this mess back in the driver's seat... and that they're going to take back an America that never existed.

So what exactly IS Obama responsible for?

And it was true when the GOP was founded and was the party of Lincoln. However, in the last 40-50 years the GOP has shifted from being the liberal party to being the conservative party, and vice-versa for the Democrats. The same people that voted for the anti civil rights Democrats are now voting for Republicans. If Lincoln were alive today he'd be a Democrat because the GOP is not the party it was when he was around.

Or it could be that the people today didn't live during abes time. But you are in fact correct. Abe was a rep. In name only by TODAYS standard. That doesn't change the fact the the DEM Party Stood and FAILED at wanting slavery and caused a division of the people. It looks dam close to history is about to repeat itself . This is the biggest division Since that time . I say F--- both sides . I just want to live in peace.

No, it shows a lot of people pick a bad group if the bad group stays very quiet about its own policies, and the people have short memories.

Well that explains how the Democrats came to power.

Now explain why they are going to lose it.

 

[ProfJohn]

You don't think there's a polling result difference between what should be happening, people realizing that the Democratic administration and Congress are trying to fix the economy but it's not enough, and what is happening, Republicans convincing sheeple that stimulus isn't a valid concept, that we need to get rid of deficit spending during a recession, and that Obama is a secret Muslim socializing the country?

The problem is that the Democrats aren't doing much at all to fix the economy. They passed one huge spending bill and then moved on as if that bill was the solution to all our problems.

Now, the obvious question, besides the rhetoric and sound bites like "The tidal wave of We The People is coming ... " What can we (the people) expect from you (Republicans) now that near total power of the government will be in your hands shortly.

What type of policies will you implement to get this country out of the current mess? What are your plans for the future of our economy? Middle east wars? Education? Health care? Social Security etc etc. What are your plans for this country? "stop Obama" is not a plan or policy for governing. Please elaborate ...

Are you surprised he stopped figuring out how to read your posts when you started asking him questions? He is as transparent as one can possibly get. I can't believe he is even fooling himself yet he seems to pull it off.

In economy, terrorism, illegal immigration, deficit, ... Republic is leading as much as 10 points in poll, New CNN data found:

http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/09/07/pol.economy.poll.hfr/index.html?hpt=T2

a set of data that clearly shows voters want to bring back Republican domestic and foreign policies.

Good luck with that. One of the major Republican Donars, The Chamber of Commerce, has been pimping amnesty for years. Even has whole web pages dedicated twards it. Real Republicans love illegals. Cheap labor and marginalizes workers.

Economy? What will Republicans do to stimulate demand? Give money to the little guy? Restructure thier debt? New Homestead Act? I don't think so GS gets it but not Jose. They fought long and hard for those with control to keep all their marbles.

Terrorism? I bet no Republicans rank and file want Republicans trillions in rebuilding but kill motherfucckers responsible until they sue for peace.That's not in Republican game plan. No one gets rich off that.

Which brings us to deficit. Small gov means small for the rabble not for the military industrial complex, no bid contractors and the like who Republicans never saw a grant of descression to those powers they did not like.

In sum Americans are frustrated with D's and flocking to the same which is thought of as an alternative. Funny to watch.

It really has been fun watching spidey slip deeper and deeper into crazyland the past few months. I hope it continues, to be honest.

The 2010 election will be about one thing, and one thing only: The current state of the economy. Only the omniscient right-wing trolls on these forums "know" that Obama is responsible for the economic mess we're in. Only the omniscient right-wing trolls "know" that we would currently be experiencing 5% GDP growth and 4% unemployment if only the policies they advocate had instead been followed.

It's a shame we don't have parallel universes to provide blowhard righties with the opportunity to prove the worthlessness of their economic theories.

I've written here before that the GOP offers little of their own to merit voting for them, since they never actually practice what they preach - small gov't, fiscal responsibility, etc. Their best slogan usually turns out to be "We're not the Democrats!!", just like this year, and it will probably work again, because as usual, the Dems have promised the sun, the moon, and the stars, and of course can't deliver. You can't whine about Obama being blamed for the continued stagnant state of the economy (which I agree is beyond his control in large part) if Obama hadn't himself run on a platform of being the savior who promised impossible things. The Dems are victims of their own vision of gov't as solver of all problems.

Not only have the dims not delivered, they've driven us on the opposite path of where we need to be. They are to blame for the mess, they need to be voted out in Nov.

Be prepared guys; the closer we get to November, the more we'll be confronted by Teabonics: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/album.php?aid=243484&id=539859514&fbid=463379554514&ref=nf

Polls only serve to show how ignorant the American public is. They have no idea how good or bad Republicans are. All they know is theres a Democrat in the White House now, and things arent spectacular. Never mind the current mess may have been caused by the Republican before him or the Democrat before HIM. Or that the problems really arent caused or fixed by presidents.

These days the presidents primary duty is to serve as a focus for ignorant, angry outrage.

To that end, I only pay attention to polls when I'm curious as to Americas current anger.

:thumbsup:


I've always said the majority of people that participate in polls are angry losers from the last election. People whose candidate won the last election and those who agree with the current administration don't participate, but the red assed losers can't wait for the next weekly poll to vent their anger over and over. Hell I bet Spidey has participated in many polls since his dark crush Obama was elected.

LOL! Funny, but dead on. In some ways this is the election of the Alvin Greenes*; the party America hates least (and will therefore elect) is the party it sees least. Republicans have support a mile wide and an inch deep; it's probably smartest politically that they advocate no new proposals, for then the progressive Democrats in the media would certainly do a favor for the the progressive Democrats in Congress and tear those proposals apart regardless of merit.

* Unfortunately for Mr. Greene he has been seen, and no amount of future invisibility will remove that singularity of stupidity from the public consciousness.
