Likely voters in battleground districts see extremists as having a more dominant influence over the Democratic Party than they do over the GOP.

This result comes from The Hill 2010 Midterm Election Poll, which found that 44 percent of likely voters say the Democratic Party is more dominated by its extreme elements, whereas 37 percent say it’s the Republican Party that is more dominated by extremists.

Ouch... Must be difficult for the Dhims who keep calling the Tea Party-backed candidates 'extremists'.

OMG!.....Have the idiots among us woke up?

This begs the question - what’s “mainstream”?

Is it 40+% support of the public, of the voters, of likely voters?

Or is the “middle” or baseline defined by the founders’ beliefs as expressed in the Constitution and the beliefs in the minds of the citizens that ratified it?

Americans aren't the rubes the left takes them for. They can see the hard-left policies coming out of Washington are hurting everyone - not just 'the rich'. The old political games i.e. class warfare, aren't working any more. The lefty TV shows with hosts/guests calling Tea Party members 'racists' 24/7 because they oppose Obama's big government policies and the media pretending that only dopes and mental patients are Tea Party followers just tick people off and demonstrate who the loons really are. The two idiots on 'The View' pretending to be outrageously offended and walking off the set because Bill O'Reilly factually stated "Muslims killed us on 9/11" prove the point - again - that the Democrats have far more extremists than the Republicans do. The American people can see that. We are not stupid. We will show how smart we are on November 2nd. Please watch.

One of my trophy wife's favorite comments is used by her when the obvious is finally recognized by the mediots:

Well DUH!!

Did you hear Joy Behar yesterday to O’Reilly? “Show me that poll,show me that poll” They have the ability to disbelieve the truth when it doesn’t fit their notion of how things are supposed to be.
