Please do not discount Blacks.  The fact that Obama and the Democrats are plumbing new depths of political depravity is finally beginning to shake Back conservatives free of the mental ghetto into which liberals and Democrats have consigned all Blacks, if for no other reason than that these folk are smart people and they simply cannot stand the absolute, utter nonsense that is being spoken in their name by the Libs/Lefties.  These folk are the proof of the pudding, that what matters is who you are and what you do, not what you look like and what you merely intend to do.  I know of at least two who are running for Congress in 2010 who are really worth paying attention to, because they don't care about black, white, yellow, red, or purple with green polka-dots, they care about responsibility, about being an American first, last, and always.  The first is Lt. Col. Allen West and the second is Les Phillip, who's running for Alabama's 5th District.

Hi,

I for one am in, said it and meant it many times.  When one is almost 70, don't have much to lose, might as well fight for something I hold near and dear to my heart. 

For some reason I think things will be much like the riots in the 1960's.  I lived in Chicago at the time and they rioted and burned a good bit, same in Elgin, IL which was near where I lived at the time.  It was not the local blacks who did it, they were bused in from Detroit in school busses.  If it comes to a war, there will be the redneck factor, but for the most part I see the majority of white people protecting their property rather than taking it their neighborhoods. For the reasons mentioned, I have no problem with folks who work hard to EARN their keep so to blatently go into their area and start raising hell makes no sense.  However let them come down our street in a pickup truck like they did in the 1960's, with gasoline in beer bottles and a lit rag poking out the top......then it is a whole different matter.

Should it come to that public sentiment and the media will play a very major and interesting role.

regards,
5412

PS:  In the meantime let's keep those cards and letters coming, the lower the poll numbers the better things will be for upcoming elections.

According to this, Bush was at -30 right before he left. How long will it be before Obama gets that low? I doubt it will take 8 years, heh.

 :o


Looks to me like the Blame Bush meme has run its course, and people feel its time for the man who said he could do the job to actually do something - It also looks like calling one a racist for simply opposing The One is no longer an effective tool. That's too bad Democrats.

What I like about these numbers is people are coming around to my way of thinking.

No, sad that WE voted in such a nightmare.  Unfortunately the American populace bought an unknown because it was 'cool' and 'hip' to vote in a black man as president.  It didn't matter he was completely unqualified for the job.  That is sad.

Absolutely correct. Many clueless people still get their news from the alphabet press and the fawning and apologizing and BDS still goes on just about unabated.

Despite Fox News' success, there are still too many people who pay little real attention to what's going on and they are the voters who put that turd in the WH.

They knew that the polls would drop-- they know what the people want. They obviously do not care. They got what they wanted at the expense of the next elections and MOST importantly--- at the EXPENSE of the people.

Even if 2010 turns out to be a landslide victory for Republicans (it certainly won't be a victory for conservatives, but I digress) and Lord Zero turns into a lame duck for his last 2 years in office, to undo all of the chicanery that this idiot has brought on the country will never be done.

Congress rarely meets a program it doesn't like.  :whatever:

They don't care because they know that, no matter how many of them lose their seats in 2010, if they can just get Obamacare enacted, then the game's over because it will never, ever, ever get repealed.  The basis for their view?  Medicare/Medicaid/Social Security, which have not been touched at all, except to expand the benefits given, notwithstanding that those entitlements have a current unfunded liability of about $75 trillion dollars.

We have only one year - 2011 - after they lose their majorities in the 2010 Congressional elections to prove them wrong.  If we don't, then this country is nothing more than a dead man walking, and we all might as well either (a) move to a better country, such as Australia (where the voters just kicked the eco-greenies in the balls by voting down cap-n-trade type legislation), or (b) start teaching our children to speak Mandarin so that they can understand what their new masters are saying when they grow up.

We can't undo any damage in 2011 because even if the R's get a majority, 0bama just veotos every tax cut, and holds stuff hostage he doesn't like.
