(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.

Ironic, is it not? Battle the commies in a cold war lasting 50 years, then our youth never learns about the horrors of totalitarianism and the commies win in the end anyway. Who would have thought that?

I tried to instill a love of country, freedom and liberty in my kids. Then one went to the University of Oregon and that didn’t work out so well. One is at UC Santa Cruz and, although she voted for O, seems to have a good head on her shoulders. My son is heading to University of Colorado - Boulder and that’s got me worried.

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

One of the truest statements of fact that can be made today. We can complain that the Republicans aren't loud enough, tough enough etc. and of course to a certain extent that is true. But the fact remains that the Obama-loving/leaning media tends to give the Pubbies either the worst possible coverage per story or simply doesn't report at all. The strongest official statements are ignored and only stories that will feed intra-party strife are played up.

Do you believe that a public option actually will cost less???

Of course, the public option will cost "less". That is, the premium will be less than the premium for comparable private insurance.

But that reckons without the subsidy that higher taxes will fund.

The deal on this is that a lot of the older Democrat voters, ie. Old Union Stalwarts are beginning to see that Obama is moving the party tot he extreme socialist marxist side and they are starting to wisen up to this.

Too liberal? The Democratic party is the Communists party. This will be more apparent when Americans realize that they will be slaves to the Government, and have to buy tokens for the new automated toilet to control flushes.

So what? Most of them have drunk the Obama KoolAid and are ready to give your life for his socialistic ideals.

I worked in the British NHS in the 80’s. My degrees didn't transfer so I was making an abysmal wage (wages over there are much lower than here to begin with, too). My tax bite was 50% and I know I was in the bottom 25% of wage earners. People here have NO IDEA how much ‘free’ health care is going to cost!

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

Who would have thought of that?

Well...Communists like Bill Ayers!..and the KGB!

Listen to Yuri Bezmenov a former KGB agent and what he has to say about “demoralization” of a nation's youth:

Government K-12 schools and our colleges and universities are destroying this nation.
