“It’s a cumulative effect. TARP is not popular. The stimulus is not particularly popular. Bailing out automakers? Bailing out people who bought $500 thousand dollar homes. I think bailing out homeowners when others have mortgages to pay will be the straw the breaks the camel’s back. Paticularly, when in a few months it will be readily apparent that none of this is going to work, and Obama is in WAY over his head.”
Your are absolutely ignoring facts and this kind of thing is exactly why we were dead on arrival in 2006 and 2008.
Approval numbers of handling the stimulus package:
Obama: 67%
Democrats: 48%
Replicans: 31%

And please don’t try to discredit the polls because their are many out there that reflect these same numbers. And we tried the dicrediting in Nov 2008 and look how that turned out.
We either get on board and play the game or we will be dead on arrival in 2010 again. Once Republicans are pegged as the party of “NO” and it sets in, that’s the end game. Just look at 1934 to 1994 as a guide. The GOP has to get in gear and come up with viable alternatives that resounds with the public, market the hell out of it, appear to be working hard with the opposition and then campaign like hell on it in 2010. The PR game is being lost in a very very bad way.
If only we could get them to replicate FASTER!!!!!
Play what game? What are you proposing?
