Vote’em All Out

March 18, 2009 - 7:44 am - by Stephen Green

Rasmussen reports his latest numbers:

Support for the Democratic Congressional candidates fell to a new low over the past week, allowing the GOP to move slightly head for the first time in recent years in the Generic Congressional Ballot.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 41% said they would vote for their district’s Republican candidate while 39% would choose the Democrat.

Investors now favor Republicans by a 46% to 36% margin, while non-investors would vote Democratic by a 45% to 33% margin.

The question remains if Republicans will prove honest, tough and smart enough to take advantage of the Democrats’ many missteps. The evidence so far isn’t very encouraging.

    There are plenty of issues to talk about dealing with the market and investing Showing the manipulation and how it’s falling apart.
    Showing a disdain for America is another! This disrespect will come back and bite them.
    The Obama Circus ratings will fall everyday. Conservatives and Republicans need to grow some and attack!

    The problem for Republicans is that they aren’t trusted on economic issues. Sure, they claim to be the pro-capitalist party, but they aren’t. What they’ve worked to create in this country isn’t capitalism, but corporatism. They’ve spent the last decades pretending to fight socialism, but have instead worked to enrich the biggest corporations through tax policy, regulations, and a lack of regulations (some work to stifle competition, some stifle profits.) And the GOP claimed throughout this time to be economic populists while spending money it didn’t even take yet. Now that they’re out of power, they want to be fiscally responsible and enact policies that help small businesses?

    I’d sooner trust those Democrats who are selling bridges. Actually, I do. The Democrats aren’t anti-corporatist by any means, and the GOP learned quickly how fickle political contributions can be, but at least they know how to build things.
