Midknight Review -- new and revised: Before fiscal negotiations begin, the public is already blaming the GOP. What does this mean for 2016? Next to nothing.

<<<< from the editor - a little blue collar advice

Obviously, the voting public is not as sophisticated as some in the media would have us suppose. In a PEW poll, 51% of Americans blame the GOP if a fiscal deal is not reached. Question: why worry about a poll that tells you folks do not agree with your decisions, even before you pursue a decision?

Let's get something straight, from the beginning of this post. When was the last time you were aware that the GOP was given due credit for anything, positive? It does not happen, yet, 30 state houses are owned by the GOP, the House of Representatives belongs to the Republicans, and the recent election saw the Democrats with 8 million fewer votes than in 2008.

Conservative leaders have every reason to ignore the "latest polling." These polls are meaningless. My advice for "the leadership?" Do what is right for the nation. You are going to get the blamed, regardless. You will win the midterm elections, if you govern true to your principles. Organization wins national elections unless, of course, one of the candidates has charisma. JFK had charisma as did Reagan, Clinton and Obama. Republicans are due. If we hold our own in the mid-terms, conservatives have a shot at victory in 2016.

But, be forewarned: give up on the tea-party; try to drive them out, and you will never win another national election, unless you can figure out how to replace 20 million voters.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
