Mary Landrieu Polling Continues Downward Spiral In Louisiana
redstate.com ^ | 3/14/14 | Joe Cunningham

As I’ve mentioned before, Mary Landrieu has taken a dive in the polls last year. PPP ran two polls, one last February and one in August, both showing her up +10. PPP usually gives very, very pro-Democratic results a ways out from an election, but only goes very Democratic when you get closer to an election. Last month, a year out from their original +10 results, another PPP poll showed her only up +1.5

Another Democratic firm, Hickman Analytics, ran a poll at the beginning of March, with results that should absolutely terrify her.

The Democratic-heavy sample of 404 breaks down as 35% Democratic voters and 30% Republican. However, when it comes to ideology, the stats are different. Only 18% consider themselves liberal, while 57% label themselves conservative. If you break that down further, 12% consider themselves liberal, and 5% only think they are somewhat liberal. 21% considered themselves somewhat conservative, with 36% considering themselves conservative. The elusive moderates were nearly as well represented as liberals, moreso if you include the “Don’t know” crowd with them.

Bill Cassidy is the leading Republican running against her. When asked which of the two they’d support, 46% of the likely to vote crowd went with Cassidy. Only 42% went with Landrieu. That is within the 5% margin of error

But, this one isn’t: If you take Cassidy’s name out of it and have her run against a generic Republican, then you see that margin widen, 47-36.

Louisiana is firmly a toss-up for 2014, and should stay that way, possibly barring one thing, and even then, it doesn’t guarantee a victory. It just plays to her strength. That would be the Keystone XL Pipeline.

It’s interesting how generic republican outpolls Cassidy. It says very much to me that Louisiana is becoming more rightwing. Or it means the poll skewed too much rightwing.

Either way, excellent news

WoW! Who knew a real estate agent would last sooooo long in the US Senate. But then again, who would have thought a community organizer would ever become present_dent.

So, Obama is willing to lose 4 senate seats, thousands of jobs, more Bakken oil, and a secure 650,000 bd supply from your largest trade partner and best ally. All without costing the taxpayers a dime.

Some kind of president.

As an aside, for those under 50: If Reagan was president and this pipeline issue came up, the US portion would have been built in about 18 months, with US money.

Sometimes even Democrats can see they’ve been lied to for years when they finally have to live with the results.

She is also and in several ways antediluvian now. A creature of the Clinton machine she is obsolescent, was generally ineffective and was never on fire with popularity.

Louisiana is 14 miles from my house in Texas, and I can tell you that the Keystone Pipeline will not be a game changer for Landrieu. Gas and oil field work is plentiful in LA. But, the people who remember that she was the last "sell-out" on Obamacare, have held on to that bitterness just waiting for the chance to "punish" her for that vote. I know LA and I know LA people. She shoved Obamacare down their throat. Now, they can't wait to shove it up her fat a**.

True, but, even though Cassidy might be more liberal than Todd Akin, he’s not nearly as stupid.

Confiscation of Retirement Accounts

So, what happens if you’re not willing to invest in Obama’s MyRa? How does the government get the funding it needs to continue financing and growing the debt? The answer: FORCE you to make your retirement funds accessible to the government.

If you do some research on US Bill “HB5337,” you will find the plan to nationalize retirement wealth. On May 6, 2012 Lauren Schmitz, a research analyst at the Bernard L Schwartz Center for Economic Analyst (SCEPA), introduced HB5337. This 401(k)/IRA de-privatization is the brainchild of Teresa Ghilarducci, whom through funding from the White House and the Ford & Rockefeller Foundations engineered a new “Regulatory & Tax Incentive.” The purpose is to force Americans to convert their Retirement Accounts into Government Managed accounts.

The government will nationalize retirement accounts like IRAs, 401Ks, pensions, 403Bs, etc. so that you will be forced to use a portion of your retirement wealth to purchase U.S. government debt – debt that will ultimately default, as it is not possible to sustain our astronomical debt nor the deficits that create it.

This plan to nationalize private 401K and IRA retirement accounts is being deceptively publicized as the government protecting the public against business failings or state bankruptcies. But the reality is, your cash, your retirement funds, your bank deposits and your investments are at huge risk of being confiscated by the government through some contrived reason or another.
