have opened an eighteen point lead in the Generic Congressional ballot. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that, if the Congressional Election were held today, 50% of American voters say they would vote for the Democrat in their district. Just 32% would opt for the Republican. A month ago, the Democrats lead was just ten percentage points, 47% to 37%.

Here is the most telling feature.
****Republicans now trail by 15 percentage points among men. Last month, they were nearly even with Democrats among male voters. Democrats now have a twelve-point advantage among white voters, another segment of the population that was a toss-up in early August.******
The traditional GOP base has about had with the party.
Craig is only one of many good reasons the GOP is in crash and burn mode.
Such idiots deserve Hillary Care!
Yup.
But behold the *spin*.
...talk about denial.
This is not good.
The guy HAS to go. The Republicans cannot afford for these stupid scandals to keep coming out.
It just seems like in terms of activism and grass routes efforts, the GOP is starting to lose their lead to the rats. They need so sure up the base first off, and to kick start a nationwide campaign.
Larry Craig? I don’t think a single case like that is responsible. It is more fundamentla. It is the war, just like in 2006.
Republicans always trail Dims in these polls , nothing new here .
Trying to blame Larry Craig for all of this, is misguided at best .
That way no one will actually have to think.
So Conservative white men are running to Harry Reid, Nancy,Kennedy, and Barney Frank?
Obviously these “men” polled are clueless.
We saw how “they” stood home in 2006, jusk ask Pombo.Nancy Harry and Hillary are pleased
The Republicans need to grow some balls and fight back. I’m sick of the moral arbiters like Ted Kennedy and the entire dim party defining Republicans when they are genuine mendacious reprobates.
The congressional Democrats include a number of professed, flaming homosexuals. That’s good. A few Republicans have been attacked by the press for being homosexuals. That’s bad.
Which party would you vote for, the party that disapproves of perversion or the party that approves of it and passes laws in its favor? This whole business has gotten twisted right around.
What’s really sick is that the voters seem to swallow the media propaganda story every time, hook, line, and sinker.
Raise my taxes, take my guns, because I’m really mad at the GOP!
Larry Craig is not the issue. Granted, he’s a dumbass and a freak. But there are more fundamental problems here. Mainly, the republicans don’t have a voice. Why is that? Because the president’s speeches are the same for the last 3 years. The media never liked them to begin with, and the average American long ago lost being able to grasp the importance of Iraq. The president’s speech about vietnam and defeatism was the last major play. He should continue hard-hitting talk about victory and the people on the hill should follow his lead. That would FORCE the democrats and the media to the president’s agenda. And most average Americans would have to choose between stay and fight and cut and run. We would win that fight.
I have yet to be polled by any official polltaking organization, yet, with the frquency of the polls and the many different polls taken on the same slice of pie (so to speak), they should have interviewed every man, woman, child and pet on the planet 10 times over. I take all of this with a grain of salt. That and you can count on the general public’s short memory. We’ve been dumbed down as a society, reduced to sound bites or next week’s reality tv show episode. So, what’s happening with Paris Hilton these days? And who cares? The point is the same.
Where have all the real men gone?
It seems they are all feeling sorry for themselves, and searching the horizon for a knight in shining armor.
The feminization of America is complete, when Conservative men begin to morph into their wives.
Glenn Beck said it the other day. Mark Foley and Larry Craig have little or nothing to do with the the Republicans losing.
Republicans lost in 2006, and, unless they get the message, will likely lose again in 2008 because they forgot who they are.
If they cease becoming the open border, big government clones of the Democrats, the Republicans might have a chance.
