I have learned much about psychology by reading the posts on the Free Republic. I think the Repos are doing an excellent job of beating the Demos at that their game. However - in the end the economy will determine who wins, and the Repos haven't connected with the people. I come from generations of Repos, and they simply do not understand that so many aren't so fortunate as we are. I fear that is our Achilles' Heal. When the battle is marketed as "steal your soul" or "steal your gold" affair, I think the Demos will get a lot of souls - just as they have in the past.

But ghostrider, if what you say is absolutely true, then the GOP would never win any elections. There are always people doing well and not doing well. I agree with you though, that the GOP has the reputation you describe. On the other hand, the GOP always had the reputation they did not care about the environment -- yet, look at the facts here in this case. I also think the world is a different place since 9-11, and swing voters who might have voted for a Dem in presidential races will no longer do so as easily. The economy, as important as it is, may take a back seat to security. How can you go to work if terrorists blow up your office, as they did on 9-11?
