(Gallup) More Americans See Democratic Party as "Too Liberal"
Gallup ^ | 6/30/09 | Jeffrey M. Jones

Posted on 06/30/2009 6:29:51 PM PDT by LS

A Gallup Poll finds a statistically significant increase since last year in the percentage of Americans who describe the Democratic Party's views as being "too liberal," from 39% to 46%. This is the largest percentage saying so since November 1994, after the party's losses in that year's midterm elections.

Maybe, just maybe, ~4% of Barry's voters have come out of there temper tantrum and realized “WTF has happened?”

If the stupid party can put together something of a coherent message, 2010 can be a comeback year, leading up to a 2012 knock out blow to the communist party, USA.

I wonder if “Marxist” was an option given in their poll? Likely not.

Democrats are MARXISTS! It is time to call them what they are.

It doesn’t really matter until the GOP decides to play dirty and finally kill the mainstream media. It’s the messenger that matters, not the message.

It's sad when you have to cover you bases on an obvious reference. What is our country turning into when you have check your every word.

As a professor, I find that the long-established terms “socialist,” “Marxist,” “communist” absolutely do not register with the under 25 crowd. We can lament this all we like, but the fact is, since the end of the Cold War, the clear evils of socialism are not apparent to many youts.

Just how stupid IS the American electorate? How many times does it have to be duped by the Demos into thinking that they’re not liberal before it catches on?

If the majority of the voting public had bothered to read up on the real Zero, he would never be in the White House. I kept asking my Lib friends:

Do you really think he can do all he says he will without raising taxes on everyone?

Do you believe him when he says he never heard Rev Jeremiah Wright say those things in church?

Do you believe him when he says we can all keep our health plans even though he is going to offer a public option that he insists will cost less? Do you believe that a public option actually will cost less??? I wish Americans had awakened to the real Zero before he was elected. More's the pity.

See my post above on the use of the term to “youts.”

Don’t get your hopes up folks.

Americans will not become more conservative and more educated in the principles of liberty and freedom until the MSM is toppled.

I think the GOP is, generally, Democrat-lite... I mean we had the Exec-Branch, the Legislative-Branch, and the USSC could be arguably called conservative (it could also arguably be called liberal) and yet:
1 - The CONSTITUENTS had to shoot down the support for amnesty; the WORST “solution” to illegal immigration besides [possibly] building a bunch of concentration camps and...
2 - There was no effort to illegalize abortions, even putting up to a vote... we had to make do with the Mexico City policy, which wasn’t bad, but it didn’t stop infanticide here.
3 - The formation of the DHS (as it is), now if it’d been me I’d have made it the merger of the NGB(National Guard Bureau)/CG/INS/BP controls and expanded the National Guard operating authority to cover those roles (expanding the 2 wk active training to a 1 mo actual mission, say patrolling the border/coast); then aggressively recruited (and in the wake of 11Sep there were a LOT of people who wanted to help, the government in effect said “do nothing” it should have said GREAT! and given people jobs to do, IMO.)

Of course that’s just me.
Your thoughts?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The MSM would have been toppled **long** ago if it were for the government schools. Our Marxist dominated, atheistic, government schools have now succeeded in indoctrinating at least 2 generations of brain dead children.

The only conservatives I know under 45 are those who have been mugged by reality. The rest are Marxists.

I guess we could just call them pimps and ho's. The under 25's know that for sure.
