Seven nagging reasons to worry about the coming mid-term elections, if you are a Progressive/Socialist Democrat:
- GOP voters are more driven to vote in 2014 than Democrats. 49% of Republicans say they plan to vote while only 44% of Dems plan to do the same.
- 55% of Independents say said they plan to vote "GOP," while only 32% intend to vote for Democrats.
- Not mentioned in the polling information, as a separate entity, is the conservative, teaparty related contingency: 95% of this group (some 7 million folks), plan to vote and all will vote "GOP."
- The sad shape of the economy, is another reason for Democrats to worry. Only 28% of those polled, believe the economy is improving, How much of an effect this percentage will have on the elections, is unknown, but if it moves individual elections by just 5%, a landslide election cycle could be on the horizon.
- As many know or believe, "Independents" often turn an election. As things stand, today, only 22% of Independents believe the economy is in recovery.
- Barack Obama, himself, is a major issue. In an ABC/WaPost poll, has his 41% approval rating at the lowest in 5 years. And Obama polling gets even worse when categories are considered: Obama on healthcare reform scores only 37% approval; Crimea/Russia sees Obama numbers at 34% and more than 70% of Americans believe Obama lies, at least on occasion.
- And, ObamaCare, itself, maybe enough of a negative influence to turn the midterms into a rout. Every major reason for healthcare reform was a lie . . . without exception, and that is common knowledge with the electorate. Only 44% of American's actually support ObamaCare the way it is, today
Point of post: There are so many reasons for rejecting Democrat rule and its associated tyranny, the above 7 points being only a few.
You were high on winning in 2012, so pardon me for not getting too excited,
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say. I was high on Romney, but 4 million teaparty evangelicals were not. Plus you had Fat Christie making love to Obama trying to prove that he (Christie) was some kind of principled "I tell it like it is" politician. I - we - just might be looking at a pattern of sorts. The midterms belong to the conservatives and the WH belongs to the party that tell the most lies. The midterms can't be bought. Obama can pretend he cares about the illegals, but the fact remains that he did nothing for them in 2009 when he couldn't be stopped. People forget that "comprehensive immigration will be law in my first year, I promise." The only elections that can be nationalized are the Senate elections, and, believe me, both parties are working on that.
ReplyDeleteFair enough, but I will reserve my excitement until after the 2016 elections.
ReplyDeleteWhat the editor of this blog does not understand, apparently, is this: Obama is not a true Progressive. He kills innocents, using "war" as an excuse, just like Bush. He is increasing the pool of lobbyists begging for handouts, just like Bush. ObamaCare was written by the Insurance Industry - just like under Bush. He accomplished NOTHING in Afghanistan, just like Bush in Iraq. He believes in Big Money Government just like Bush. He is controlled by the Corporate World, just like Bush.
ReplyDeleteI am a Progressive and voted for the man, twice - the second time, simply because I hate Republicans. This November, I will sit out the election tired of his two-timing ways and the bullshit that has become accepted Democrat talking points.
Matt Damon, Bill Mahar, Chris Matthews, Michael Moore, Maxine Waters, and many other Progressives have expressed deep disappointment in Obama for your reasons, as well.
