New polls confirm Obama's Democratic base crumbles
LA Times ^ | 7/26/11 | Andrew Malcolm

Posted on 07/26/2011 5:17:43 AM PDT by markomalley

With all of the spotlights on the high-stakes debt maneuverings by President Obama and Speaker John Boehner the last few days, few people noticed what Vermont's Sen. Bernie Sanders said:

"I think it would be a good idea if President Obama faced some primary opposition."

This is political treason 469 days before a presidential election. Yes, yes, this is just a crusty old New England independent for now, albeit one who caucuses loyally with Harry Reid's Democratic posse.

But while most of the media focuses on Republican Boehner and the tea party pressures on him to raise the debt limit not one Liberty dime, Sanders' mumblings are a useful reminder that hidden in the shadows of this left-handed presidency are militant progressives like Sanders who don't want to cut one Liberty dime of non-Pentagon spending.

(snip)

Strong support among liberal Democrats for Obama's jobs record has plummeted 22 points from 53% down below a third. African Americans who believe the president's measures helped the economy has plunged from 77% to barely half.

Obama's overall job approval on the economy has slid below 40% for the first time, with 57% disapproving. And strong disapprovers outnumber approvers by better than two-to-one.

I have no doubt in my mind that Obama will forward the gay agenda and the immigration bill. He will divide people more, create chaos, and sign a few more executive orders. I will NOT ‘misunderestimate’ this man and what he can still do while in office.

Remeber the stain and his regime operate fully from alinski's "bible"...to wit:
RULE 3: "Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy." Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. Deflect the attention of the enemy to insignificant issues writ large; but continue to go forward with the main agenda.

And....RULE 8: "Keep the pressure on. Never let up." Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)

This stuff is written down...it is in the public library....it is available for anyone to read. And in reading it, one has in one's hands the battle plan of the stain and his entire regime.

If the repub/rino/conserv/tparty cannot win even tho they have the entire battle plans of the opposition in their hands....then they both don't deserve to win...and they then deserve exactly what they will get.

Unfortunately, they drag us into the POW camp with them. More's the pity.

Is this a joke picture or actually her? If it’s a joke picture it’s very well done.

"His flock may be lean now,I personally see any evidence of it, but come election time it will be at full strenght. I would not believe a poll if it said water was wet for two reasons:! People lie to pollsters. 2. Polls are always skewed to get the desired results."

Well, Romney is running. He is the best liberal Democrat in the race so far.

We will be lucky if we make it to another election. The preppers are right. It’s going to hit the fan soon. I think he could try to suspend the constitution and declare himself dictator for life.

You are right - I went on the Daily Kos last night and they were so discouraged - thinking Obama was a RIGHT-WING traitor.

Go figure.

"meaningless"

As are many job-approval polls. Because some potential voter doesn't like the way the present inhabitant is doing doesn't mean they'll vote for someone else. They'll say he or she is still better than some icky Republican. A majority of Americans still blame Bush for the economy. That bodes big trouble for Pubbies in 2012.

I agree with you. They are painting him as the Comeback Kid. Watch the faces of the reporters as they “report” on Obama’s struggles today. They are all in VERY good moods while they intone the bad news. None of them really believe he is down and out and they have a Plan.

They stole one election and have no doubt they can do it again. They are working together to do just that.

I would love to believe this, but I honestly can’t see Obama losing Blacks
__________________________
I agree, he won’t lose the bottom feeder blacks, the others, don’t bet on it. Also the bottom feeders haven’t gotten anything from his stash. They probably just won’t vote this time. The frenzy is over and a lot of them aren’t too happy that he and big MO live high on the hog while they are still struggling. One day they will figure out it’s the same party, just new slave masters that always have to keep the average black man down to get their vote.

I think you are wrong.

Blacks will vote for Obama, no matter what he does, to save face.

You are correct. He owns the Black vote because the vast majority of Black voters care more about being Black than anything else. It is the overwhelming element of their lives. Ethnicity is the goad that drives them and it is constantly on their minds. It colors their every perception.

It’s sad, really, because there is so much more to life than what color you are.

The KLBJ hosts asked if anyone was better off since the won was elected. Sure nuff, a black guy calls in and said “I be gettin over $650 of food stamps now”. The dependency mentality of those voters is unbelievable.

Let’s remember the alliance between the socialists and islamists that brought turmoil to the middle east.

We see the same alliance forming in Mexico between the Zetas and Hezbollah.

After Fast & Furious, we know this administration is willing to spill blood to further their agenda, therefore, the new October Surprise could be the most significant one ever achieved.

What type of old fashioned dimocrat do you speak of

Henry (Scoop) Jackson (former Senator from Washington in the 50's - 70's) would be quite acceptable...particularly compared to Democrats today. But if he were alive today, he'd be a Republican.
