Exactly. And all of that is made abundantly clear in Rasmussen’s polling. They DON’T want socialized medicine, for instance.

- the GOP started up the noise machine on health care reform over the summer.
LOL!!! “Health care” wasn’t even an issue until BHO and his bolshevik buddies in Congress made known their goals to seize control of the health care industry.

- 2006 and 2008 represented significant progress on this front.
Hardly. The parasites with the lifetime incumbencies all need to go. Every single member of Congress needs to find another job. If there’s a problem in America, they are it.

- The biggest danger to Democrats is that they will fail to hold together…
Actually, that’s the biggest guarantee. If Democrat parasites weren’t ABSOLUTELY SURE that Americans want NO PART of socialized medicine, they would have passed their “public option” plan a long time ago. Nothing is stopping them. They have the votes they need – they just want “cover” when it all goes south, the way it has in Massachusetts.

Go educate yourself on economics, Zippy. Then you can pretend to be capable of holding an intelligent conversation on the subject of banking and deregulation. The slobbering drivel you spew in response to your socialist brainwashing demonstrates that don’t have the slightest clue what the term “free market” means. When we get back to a commodity money policy the feds can’t corrupt, and a free market that isn’t regulated to the point of dysfunction, things will get better. Every historical referent shows that the government’s present policy is doomed – it’s never worked and never will. That your unsuccessful education failed to prepare you to understand this fact is not a surprise.

Bahahahahahaha! Eat that pooter!

And in a larger sense, focusing on BHO’s or political party approval is a distraction from the truly revealing data.

True that. Better to focus on what Americans want in terms of policy.

Barely a third of Americans think the U.S. is “heading in the right direction” (whatever that means to them).

Interestingly, this number was rising fast (up to 45%) until the GOP started up the noise machine on health care reform over the summer. On policy issues the Democrats are doing great – but the media onslaught from the right has been a deafening roar.

The message seems pretty clear. If we want better government – at least judging by the People’s perception of what we have now – we need a complete turnover in Congress.

2006 and 2008 represented significant progress on this front. That’s why we now have a President that agrees with the 2/3 of Americans who want a public health care option, and a solid majority of Democrats in congress, too. The biggest danger to Democrats is that they will fail to hold together and get significant reform passed – but that danger is remote, as there is no upside to failure, and Democrats know it.

The fact that you are still promoting deregulation as the answer to all of our economic problems simply points up how little you have comprehended the events of the last eighty years. If you really think the present state of the global banking system is “as far from a free market as possible” you also suffer from a distinct lack of imagination.

Peace.

You assert that POOR CITIZEN was educated past elementary school? I disagree, sir!

Saw the best definition of political correctness a while back: Basically it’s the belief that you can pick up a turd by the clean end

This shouldn’t surprise anyone.

And in a larger sense, focusing on BHO’s or political party approval is a distraction from the truly revealing data. For instance…

- Barely a third of Americans think the U.S. is “heading in the right direction” (whatever that means to them). This indicates clearly that the vast majority of Americans don’t approve of the nation’s leadership or where it’s taking the nation.

- Almost 80% of the nation believes Congress will vote on a health care bill without understanding what’s in it.

- An overwhelming 83% think Congress should be doing something it refuses to do – that is, to publish bills online for scrutiny by the People before voting on them.

- Perhaps most revealing is the fact that “Members of Congress have now surpassed corporate CEOs to hold the least favorably regarded profession in the country.”

There’s a pattern here, and it explains why the Tea Party phenomenon appeals to people of varying political stripes. By focusing on BHO’s lack of approval, we miss the much more important facet of our dying Republic: Presidents come and go, but the Fed and bad apples in Congress seem to remain forever. And the more entrenched these parasites become, the lower Congress’ approval sinks – 16% last time anyone checked.

The message seems pretty clear. If we want better government – at least judging by the People’s perception of what we have now – we need a complete turnover in Congress. The new Congress’ first order of business needs to be an audit of the Fed and its failed Keynesian money policies – responsible for the boom/bust thrashing and recent tanking of our economy – followed by deregulation of the banking industry and other industry sectors that have been driven as far from a free market as possible. Thanks to our Manchurian President and the manner in which he’s managed to piss off just about everyone, those pipe dreams are looking more like potential realities every day.

There actually is a just God?

Hey, I took a shot…

Fifty-one percent (51%) say the President has not been tough enough on Iran while just 30% have confidence in the United Nations’ ability to combat terrorism.

On economic matters, just 26% of workers now report that their employers are laying people off. That’s down from 28% a month ago and 30% the month before, resulting in the second straight monthly improvement in the Rasmussen Employment Index.

The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates also available on Twitter and Facebook.

Overall, 49% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance. Fifty-one (51%) disapprove. 56% strongly disapprove of the Health Care proposal 41% approve.

You do realize the 2 big honchos, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid have abysmal approval numbers..

The following site is interesting yet vague regarding the Senate races, respectively:

You didn’t answer my questions.

You’re true to your trolldom. Can’t argue worth a damn.
