Its Oabma that is starting to hurt or he would have gotten the healthcare bill to a vote.The hugr deficit spending and nothing to show for it has meant he as loss more and more of peoples confidence. When you seel something ;you better be sure the product works.Sell teh stimulus saying it will prevent unemployment doing above 8% ;you better be right when spending that amount.

Recent polls? Like 06 and last year? They aren't in power in case you haven't noticed. There is a reason for that, quite a few actually.

I get the feeling the Democrats paid Limbuger $40 million to destroy the GOP. The Jerry Springer Brigade is driving me nuts while Palin and Bachman compete with Miss South Carolina for incoherent stupidity

The same pollsters who predicted Obama's election win to a tee are also saying that support for his policy initiatives is tanking - especially among independents and seniors!

Not true. There is no "fear mongering"... Just an administration that is quickly dropping in the polls. Look at any survey... ABC, Quinnapiac, Rasmussen, etc.

Sarah Palin, John McCain, "Joe the Plumber" and his buddies, Bobby Jindal, the people up in arms at the town Hall meetings, the country-club crowd that populated the GOP convention. Do these people really represent and appeal to the majority of Americans?

The major problem with the Republicrats is that their leftist agenda is barely distinguishable from the Demopublicans.

Remember that pursuant to the Declaration of Independence, America's governments are instituted to secure inalienable rights to life, liberty and private property ownership.

The 20th century, and now, the 21st century, Congress has been steadily marching the nation to a socialist police state.

When was the last time Congress passed any statute that secured one's absolute ownership, or one's liberty or one's right to life?

The majority of their efforts are devoted to "managing", i.e., to rob the public treasury, bribing their way to more power at the expense of the people.

An example of the pre-socialist inalienable rights:
Amendment V, US Constitution 1789
... nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
From the Communist manifesto: "In this sense, the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property."

Most Americans would be surprised to learn that private property rights were abolished by voluntary enrollment into national socialism (aka Socialist InSecurity). Since 1935, the U.S. government has been LEFTIST, whether Demopublican or Republicrat.
PRIVATE PROPERTY - "As protected from being taken for public uses, is such property as belongs absolutely to an individual, and of which he has the exclusive right of disposition. Property of a specific, fixed and tangible nature, capable of being in possession and transmitted to another, such as houses, lands, and chattels."
- - - Black's Law dictionary, sixth ed., p.1217
If the government takes your property for public use - and does not pay just compensation - then you have absolute proof that you do not own private property anymore.

That's why it matters little which party is in power - both horses in the race are running on the left side of the track.

FWIW, if you want to know when the LEFTISTS are out of power, you will know the signs by the following:

When it becomes a populist cause to
[] repeal the Federal Insurance Contribution Act (aka Social Security Act of 1935);
[] repeal the Federal Reserve Act of 1913;
[] repeal the 16th amendment (Income taxation);
[] repeal the 14th amendment, clause 4, wherein the validity of the public debt cannot be questioned;
[] repeal the Fourth Coinage Act, which demonetized silver (aka "The Crime of 1873");
[] end the perpetual "temporary" State of Emergency (begun in 1933),and
[] repudiate the 11.7 trillion impossible to pay 'national debt' based on usury;
THEN I would "duck and cover" forthwith. Because "they" would have to act swiftly, for the counter revolution would be upon them.

From your position slighhtly to the right of Ghengis Khan President Obama may look like a leftist, but he is really a centrist. He is governing to the right of what many of us had hoped for, but he still has time to correct his course and accomplish the things we want done.

That's what second terms are for, and we Real Americans plan to give him one.


Huge?

How huge is that today?

McCain was too old to win in a nation that does not hold race agianst a candidate.
