This is exactly how they spun it in `94.
Yeah, it’s not “anti-democRat”, it’s “anti-encumbent”...
Who’s the “encumbent” party in power now?
Half of 0bama voters couldn’t answer that correctly.

We The People aim to clean the sewer that is this Administration, Socialist Czars, and the US Congress. Treason is all around us; they’re destroying our country and trying to take our freedom. Vote them out in 2010 and finish cleaning in 2012.
The Socialist Democrat leftists in Congress know that their days in the majority are numbered, hence their unprecedented headlong rush into so much radical legislation. They’ve got to get their whole 40 year wish list passed before they’re gone.
And - if they’re truly successful (they think), they’ll be able to remain in power using a multitude of subversions of our legal processes.
Half of Obama voters probably couldn't eat with a fork without putting out an eye.
The leftist agenda relies on the stupid...without them, they'd be toast.
Term limits would solve this problem.
Fifty-two percent would like to see their own representatives reelected in 2010, while 29 percent want them out of office, according the Pew poll.
There's your problem right there.
And that is the problem right there. People want all incumbents thrown out....except theirs. Since the only one they vote for is theirs, that is the only poll that matters.
Just imagine the "standard democRat demographic" without their gov't checks...
and prepare accordingly. It's coming.

I can’t wait to see the polling data in the next weeks with Obama’s decision to bring the detaines to America for trail and then announcing on the same day a plan for amnesty for illegals! IMHO 2010 might end up being worse for Dems than 1994 was!
This survey doesn’t give nearly enough information. Remember congressional elections are a district by district. So a national survey doesn’t provide enough granularity. In Oklahoma, a Republican voting state, our Republican congressman would probably poll at 65% to 70% for re-election. In Nancy Pelosi’s district she would probably get close to the same.
The control of congress will rest with what happens at the margin. The poll does not tell us in how many districts the people want their incumbent out. They have spread the data out like butter on toast and it tells us nothing.
Gingrich and company at least tried in 1995. It took a two thirds vote to enact term limits so even if every Republican had voted in favor, it still would not have passed.
They take some grief for promising term limits and not delivering but the contract only said they would bring it up for a vote, and they did. Sadly it didn’t make it. A large majority of Republicans voted for it at least. But I suppose there was never a realistic chance it would pass.

You lie, Pew.
It might be appealing to see large numbers of incumbents voted out, but there are congressional districts where even a nuclear bomb could not dislodge the incumbent and most of these districts encompass inner city populations. These incumbents would an absolute lock on many leadership positions.
Nancy Pelooser sums that up perfectly. She's arguably the worst leader in congress and one of the worst congresscritters to ever hold a seat in congress. Even so, the liberal wackjobs in San Francisco would never vote her out.
