One of the problems I have with the conservatives right now is this, they have had control for quite awhile and still ain't done a lot to improve the problems coming out of Washington. Hell, just look at the FDA!
Thing that really gets me is that now that its 2 weeks before election time and now the polls don't look good for the Republicans- they all are running around like we didn't know there was any problems :roll: SAY WHAT- where they been sticking there heads for the last couple of years...I haven't seen this Congress do much listening to the public since it was formed....
And now its promise anything/everything if they can just get their grub line ticket punched again- so they can go back and do the same-o, same-o all over again :roll:
Our county is voting this election to do away with Party affiliation for all city and county office races... Everybodies getting so sick of the Party(s), that from what it sounds, it will pass with a landslide....
Heres some statistics from a News Max article on Independents- these are the people that put Reagan and Bush into office, along with the Republican Congress- which it appears has disillusioned them with only 25% of them still supporting it....
Independents questioned in the The Post-ABC News poll plan to support Democratic candidates over Republicans by roughly 2-to-1 — 59 percent to 31 percent — which the Post says is the largest margin in any Post-ABC News poll this year.
Forty-five percent told the pollsters that it would be good if Democrats recaptured the House majority, while 10 percent said it would not be. The rest said it would not matter.
Other findings:
Independents are highly pessimistic about the Iraq war and the overall state of the country. Just 23 percent said the country is heading in the right direction, while 75 percent said things have gone the wrong way.
Only 25 percent of independents approve of the job Congress has done this year.
Independent voters appear to be motivated more by dissatisfaction with Republicans than by enthusiasm for the Democrats. About half of those independents who said they plan to vote Democratic in their district said they are doing so primarily to vote against the Republican candidate rather than to show support for the Democratic candidate. Just 22 percent of independents voting for Democrats are doing so "very enthusiastically."
