One thing is certain... even when we discount the Democrat oversampling in polls like this one, we cannot ignore the more trusted pollsters like Rasmussen (which polls likely voters ). I can’t believe that even Rasmussen is part of the MSM trying to dispirit Republicans.
It REALLY looks like Obama is leading in the polls at this point in time. We have to be realistic. It is what it is.
The main question is not whether or not the economy is bad. The economy IS bad and people know it.
However the huge factor is HOW DEPENDENT ARE AMERICANS BECOMING ON GOVERNMENT?
If the answer to the above question is this — VERY. Then yes, Obama might even win and we have to sadly conclude that we have crossed the tipping point in this country.
I have a very sick feeling that this might be the case (God forbid ). Consider these factors:
1) Nearly HALF of Americans pay no taxes ( 47% last I read ).
2) 1 in 3 Americans are in some sort of government welfare program.
3) 45 Million people on food stamps. Up by over 15 million compared to 4 years ago.
4) Obama promising to “help” those underwater in their mortgages and college students and grads who cannot pay back their college loans.
5) Auto workers in swing states like Michigan and Ohio being brainwashed into believing that it is good to bail out GM because Obama cares and wants to save their jobs.
Those factors CANNOT BE OVERLOOKED.
Once a significant number of our populace suck on the government’s teat.... it becomes like a drug which is very difficult to withdraw from and they will vote accordingly.
Although incorrectly identified as a Conservative, or Republican by the public, that celebrity has definitely HURT REPUBLICANS when it comes to getting those folks to vote Republican or Conservative!
He, on the other hand, is praised for his courage in reporting that information.
To date I'd guess Sean Hannity has encouraged a good 25 million people to NEVER VOTE REPUBLICAN simply because that would be to vote for a tax increase.
BTW, that's all based on a lie however. First off, NOBODY in America escapes taxes ~ just can't be done. Secondly, the original claim had only to do with a single tax called the Federal Personal Income Tax ~ and not all taxes.
Third, Ronaldus Magnus himself began the process of relieving the poor and working poor from the harrassment of paying the federal personal income tax.
And, besides, the tax as originally invisioned a century ago was that it would only affect the top 1 or 2% of wage earners!
Please don't continue this one ~ it just hurts us ~ even the rich don't want to pay more taxes ~ what makes you think the poor wish to? That's just crazy talk.
