Democratic and Republican candidates are now tied in the latest edition of the Generic Congressional Ballot.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 40% would vote for their district’s Democratic congressional candidate while 40% would choose the Republican.
Support for Democrats is up two points from last week, while support for the GOP is up three points. Support for the GOP is just one point below its highest level found over the past year. Last week’s results for the Democrats tied the lowest level of support for the party during the same period.
Voters not affiliated with either party now favor Republicans by a 38% to 21% margin.
I have been saying for weeks that the public is beginning to come to their senses. This autocratic democratic party rule will not last. What we need to do between now and November of 2010 is try to limit the damage by any means possible. Remember that new government programs instituted during liberal administrations rarely die. So, we need to work hard now. to prevent them from being born.
Are you serious? New government programs instituted during liberal administrations? I guess according to your definition then President Bush had a "liberal administration." What else do you call No Child Left Behind? The prescription drug bill? I seriously want you to answer that question. Did you support those two programs that George Bush signed into law? If so doesn't that mean you support bigger government? What about the bank bailouts? Those started under Bush not Obama. If you don't support George Bush's big government programs then doesn't that make him a liberal? You were the one who said new government programs were instituted under liberal administrations.

I see you have posted the comment, but have not responded to my questions. Let's try this one more time. Do you support No Child Left Behind, the bank bailouts, and the prescription drug bill that happened under the Bush administration? If so, don't you support bigger government? If your answer is no, then isn't George W. Bush a liberal? I know you will probably evade my questions and not answer them. If so, that does make you hypocritical because you keep criticizing President Obama for big government programs and not President Bush.

I normally don't post replies to my own posts, but since you asked:
ReplyDeleteI was against No Child Left Behind, and consider it a disaster. I was against Medicare Part D. I was against TARP. I would love to see those bloated programs go away.
I supported Bush because of his foreign policy and the War on Terror. I would give his domestic policy a D at best. I felt like he hurt the economy more than helped it with the first income tax "rebates." And I said so, if you were listening.
But, with this President, it is more than a policy dispute. He appears to be moving towards undermining the Constitution, and the Judeo-Christian foundation of our nation. And that is much worse than just disagreeing with a program. I believe we are fighting for the very survival of the United States as we know it.
Thank you for your response. I'm going to call President Bush a liberal when it comes to government growth and spending. It still does annoy me that I never heard this much from Rush or Sean when Bush was in office. Yes, there was some criticism, but not the daily amount that President Obama is facing. And to be fair Keith Olbermann was on Bush every night and defends Obama every night. I just get real tired of hard core idealogs. If a Democrat has a good idea then let's do it and the same if a Republican does.
