End of the Republican Revolution

[Kytro]

Of course, in general, they don't give a damn about the people.

The positions naturally attract, and are more successful for people who are good at mainpulation and misinformation to gain power for themselves.

Being completely honest would likely disenfranchise large number of voters. Even people with similar viewpoints will have positions they disagree with strongly.

They aren't any better than the Republicans. They don't give a damn about the little people either.

Democrats could be better if they'd put together a plan and that is the problem. Their party is deeply divided, whether or not they choose to admit it the difference between some members is huge and the party is being led around by the far left.

the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll finds the Democrats with a 54-41 percent lead in the congressional horse race, a gauge of the national mood rather than the status of individual state- and district-level races. (The lead is the same, 54-41 percent, among likely voters.) That's the biggest Democratic lead this close to Election Day in more than 20 years.

There is no block vote. You need to see the individual race numbers and who is the most vulnerable. You have many parts of the country that lean left in these polls. It does not matter one wit if they are not voting in a close race.

You could say that the repubs are being led around/split apart by the corporate fatcats and religous whackos of the 'far right,' and that that is damaging THEIR appeal to moderates.

The danger with making 'predictions' like this is that each individuals' sense of center is different.

Do you have any evidence to suggest it's not reliable polling data?

I'm pretty sure the other polls in the nation show a similar result.

The only reason Hassert was hesitant is because Foley is gay. Nobody - especially a politician - wants to appear as 'homophobic.' Mystery solved. Sorry Dem's. Most things are really simple.. which is why a college education these days is counter-productive if one wishes to HONESTLY become educated about politics. A high school dropout is more likely to be right about politics than those with a degree in political science. Since all the colleges are liberal (a known - OBVIOUS fact) a graduate is highly likely to be misinformed and misled about political matters.

I agree that most colleges are liberal but the student bears some responsibility in researching for themselves what they agree and do not agree with. I'm a college educated individual, working on my masters now. Went to a liberal school (OU) and that helped further ground some of my conservative beliefs. Now I'm going to a conservative school (Weselyan University) and I'm actually becoming more liberal. Why? Because its spurring my enthusiasm and the need to do my OWN research instead of being spoon fed what they're telling me.
