Wouldn’t it be awesome if there was a political party to espoused ideas that appealed to this massive number of people?

Then why do they keep on voting for politicians who are in favor of expanding government?

Take all of the polls you want. The truth is that conservatives have better things to do than vote.

Hey look Republicans, an open goal that you can score on. Why are you giving it back to defense?

Considering that big government is led by someone who hates America, Americans, the Constitution, freedom, and Christianity, there could not possibly be a bigger threat to our country than the current government.

Meaningless poll.

They say it but few of them vote it.

This truly is great news, though. People sure as hell have not been paying attention until recently. Maybe there’s hope to start turning the ship in Nov. ‘14.

I guess it just means that there are 44% of democrats that are too stupid, and partisan, to understand this concept...

You know, the base of the democrat party...

There may very well be a significant increase across the board for this poll that has been running for such a long time chronicle-ing this public perception (trend)...

But the solution to put the genie back in the bottle for these very same people, eludes most...

Pride, and lack of virtue, both personal and political, is what is keeping the obvious solution from being implemented...

Until people in this country, in general, shed their pride, admit that we have all made mistakes in choosing others to represent us, that no longer believe, and adhere to the Consitutional constraints placed on the Federal government, and in some cases the state houses as well, we will never see an improvement...

The recent vote on this “budget deal” (continuing resolution) proves that the republican party, what is left of it and the conservatism it supposedly believes in, have abdicated any challenges to future agenda issues the adminstration will foist upon the country, and that no one dares challenge these efforts for the next two years at least...

I do not believe for one second now, that the elections next year will produce any gains, but a loss of seats in the House, and no gains in the Senate will pretty much be the outcome of the elections in 2014...No matter how bad it is now...For whatever reason...

Somehow, somewhere, where some of us who are politically and substansively been involved in political operations in the republican party, have been trying to effect a change in the moderation and downright capitulation of these temporary occupants of these offices, are grwong more and more tired of seeing the loss of strength and ability to fight these un-Constitutional losses of our freedoms and liberties, we see no end to this trend, and some are finally looking to jump ship, because iot is an undaunting task, with no real chance of change until we toss the lot of them, and replace them with representation that does value the constraints plasced upon them and the federal government by that pesky document called the Constitution...

Until the people that vote for these virtue-less politicians admit they (we) made mistakes, we will never be able to correct this situation...

I admit it, I have been fooled too many times in the past, and I am openly honest about my personal mistakes, but will continue to try to inact a change in philosophy (both political and social) in the people I vote for to represent me in government...It may not happen in my lifetime, but maybe we can create (foment) an overall change in the constituencies around the country to get rid of a reat majority of these politicians via the means we still have (for now) to have the last say-so in their political futures...

Bur as I have said before, it takes an everyday person (citizen) with virtue to admit mistakes, and do what they can do while they hae a chance to effect change...

Until then, and in numbers, we will never see that genie put back in that Constitutional bottle...

I would love to be proven wrong...

Big Government synonymous with Obama Government.

The next time someone claims there is “no difference” between Democrats and Republicans, ask them to explain why 96% of R think big government is the biggest threat while only 56% of D think it is.

Yet most of the citizenry supports an ever-increasing Big Government check in their mailbox.

If people felt that way, they would not repeatedly elect liberals to office. So such feelings must be secondary to their desire to get largesse fron taxpayers.

Well you Would have to be a liberal idiot to fear big business more than Big government. Big Business does not have the power of force to get you to do or not do anything, all they can do is offer you money.

It is big government and big government alone that holds and often abuses that power.

Nothing else is a large and oppressive as the Federal Leviathan with its militarized “police”, so nothing else is as threatening. Q.E.D.
