A survey of 1200 likely voters taken in 12 swing districts this past Sunday and Monday might explain why Republicans might have a long night ahead of them. The veteran GOP pollster says he has "never seen anything like it." Asked who is more likely to cut taxes for the middle class - 42 percent said Democrats, 29 picked Republicans. Who is more likely to reduce the deficit? 47 - Democrats, 22 - Repubicans. And, who is more likely to control spending? Democrats - 38, Republicans - 21. In the past, even if Repubicans didn't win some race or another, they were more trusted on taxes and spending issues.
Don't know what liberal group conducted this poll, but if these numbers reflect any truth, I think our party needs to reconsider it's leadership.
Should have asked who is more likely to keep you working and out of bread lines after terrorists take down the WTC hit the Pentagon and effectively ground our entire Airline and travel industry causing severe economic chaos..... Oh would that one get a 50-50 ?
It's nauseating to see all that railing I've done against TV watching rotting your mind is actually correct.
No .. the American public need a high high colonic. They're not only deaf, they're dumb as rocks! Unbelievable.
Not dumb, they're properly angry and gave our party exactly what we deserved. Our arrogant leadership ignored every sign and, instead, presumed their immunity to the electorate's outrage at the stupidity of the military policy in Iraq since the statue came tumbling down. ''Mission Accomplished'' May 2, 2003- president in a flight suit playing like a real aviator aboard the carrier--really, and now, 3-plus years later still wallowing in the Iraqi cesspool. And he and Prince Rove were confident they could continue to fool the populace; hubris was alive and well in the White House.
Anyone who could answer like this, is completely uninformed ..and obviously ignorant (and disinterested) of reality:
"Asked who is more likely to cut taxes for the middle class - 42 percent said Democrats, 29 picked Republicans. Who is more likely to reduce the deficit? 47 - Democrats, 22 - Repubicans. And, who is more likely to control spending? Democrats - 38, Republicans - 21.
reconsider it's leadership, na ya think!
