These numbers are what they are...terrible. This not just about Rudy....we need new blood badly. The same ol same ol ...will make 06’s spanking seem like a kiss.

Dims lead by five percentage points among men, by fourteen points among women. Nancy Pelosi’s party holds a staggering 30-percentage point lead among voters under 30. Separate surveys have shown that a declining number of Americans now identify themselves as Republicans

That’s why it’s important that Republicans reach out to the Middle.

Here is another poll that should be a wake up call.

Fewer pledge allegiance to the GOP
A poll says 35% of those surveyed identify with Republicans. Public attitudes seem to be drifting toward Democrats’ values.

The survey, by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, found a “dramatic shift” in political party identification since 2002, when Republicans and Democrats were at rough parity. Now, 50% of those surveyed identified with or leaned toward Democrats, whereas 35% aligned with Republicans.

What’s more, the survey found, public attitudes are drifting toward Democrats’ values: Support for government aid to the disadvantaged has grown since the mid-1990s, skepticism about the use of military force has increased and support for traditional family values has decreased.

Maybe it’s gonna come to a point where conservatives will have to leave the party and become a third party. I don’t know what the answer is, but I do know that the socons aren’t gonna stay around if Rudy gets in. From what the Rudybots are telling us, that would be just fine with them. I seriously doubt that Rudy can win without our votes, but he seems perfectly content to try. Let’s see how that works out for you all. Where are you gonna get new blood, and what makes you think they are gonna be any less conservative than we are?

It’s almost midnight here, gotta hit the sack. I’ll get back to you tomorrow.
