"It IS an obsession on Free Republic lately..."
Not just here, it's the same everywhere.
The difference between the low poll numbers of 2 years ago and 4 years ago and now is that 2 and 4 years ago the man on the street did not reflect what we saw in the results of the media's polls. The man on todays streets republicans and independents DOES reflect the low poll numbers of today.
Exactly...it is an obsession everywhere...and so what happened???
The ultra lib groups took advantage of this obsession and threw it back in America's face with these protests and boycotts....
Do you think they would have gotten all of that attention and impetus and MONEY to fund these protests if they didn't see it as a "wedge issue" with Republicans???
