Supporters like to portray President Obama and his agenda as centrist. But those actually in the political center beg to differ. In fact, 66% of independents say their ideology is to the right of Obama, according to the latest IBD/TIPP poll. Just 14% say they’re more liberal. Independents: • Oppose Obama's handling of the economy by 2-to-1. Among those with strong opinions, disapproval soars to 6-to-1 — 30% vs. 5%. • On health care, 53% disapprove

Obama, and hos administration, does not care. They have a 4 year agenda to move America Left so far that it can’t be brought back. As soon as other Dims and his supporters figure this out you will see a huge awakening of Patriots...even on the Left...

That would mean that 34% of independents aren’t really independents.

We have identified the 44% favorable rating. 20-25% of true leftists and 20+% of ignoramouses.

Sigh.

Where were these people storing their cerebrums during the campaign?

The race Marxist made it quite clear to anything with the intellect above a protazoa, what he was all about.

They are just now realizing the Commie agenda?

Then the repubs will just fall back into their recliners again.
Conservatives need to take up the bully pulpit.

That’s why Ive never believed those polls that show twice as many conservatives as liberals in this country. Liberals always think they are moderate or centrists. At least conservatives can admit to being what they are.

The coming bloodbath at the next election should not be at all a surprise, but due to the wholesale sellout of the Press “America” will be “shocked” when the Dems lose 60% of their seats in the house.

But those actually in the political center beg to differ.

While much of the independent vote is in the center, independents could hardly be categorized as centrist. They come in all flavors.

32% of independents don't know Mr. Obama's politics very well...

...or are still in denial.

They will mostly be silent in their “awakening” because they won’t admit they made a very bad mistake by voting for the scum. That’s ok, as long as they wake up.

"ZerØ and his minions are going to hit a brick wall in November."

Are they? I wonder; they are not dumb. There will be massive vote fraud, ACORN, Black Panthers, the Secretary of States' project, etc. involvement. I think they plan on a combination of fraudulent methods to make sure that they control the official vote count, regardless of the true vote.
