Democrats Worry About Getting Re-Elected BUT Go Ahead and Vote for Destroying America
Democrats worry about damage from Obama agenda - I changed the title of this to be more of what is happening. LOL But we can still hope they might worry a little. ~ Wild Thing
'Initiatives in Washington come with steep political price tag'
Democrats are starting to worry that President Obama's "charge-and-spend" debt, new "cap-and-trade" tax and "apologize to the world" agendas are going to hurt them when they run for re-election, leaving the WorldNetDaily Freedom Index ticking up to 53.2 on a 100-point scale, despite a month of relatively few major controversies.
"What I think is going on here is that Democrats are growing slightly more concerned that the Democratic initiatives in Washington may come with a steep political price tag outside the beltway," said Fritz Wenzel of Wenzel Strategies.
"This is especially true after the Democratic election losses in deep blue New Jersey and in swing state Virginia," he continued.
"Those losses in the gubernatorial races represent a shocking reversal from 12 months ago, when Obama easily won both states in the presidential race, and discontent over Democratic efforts in Washington clearly played a part," he said.
The other major factor, I think, was the terrible economy, and voters clearly deciding it made sense to blame the Democrats for not fixing things."
The monthly freedom index for November was only 53.2, up just a fraction from last month's 52.2, the lowest figure ever for the measurement. The index is an assessment of how Americans feel about a basketful of liberties.
The index was 57.6 in June, 53.2 in July, 54.2 in August and 56.4 in September before plunging in October.
Among the issues in Washington now are the Democrats' plan to increase the government's role in health care, "cap-and-trade" taxes on energy use and Obama's repeated apologies to the world for the United States. The president stirred controversy over the weekend when he bowed to the Japanese emperor, as he bowed to the Saudi king in April.
The poll was conducted Nov. 13-16 using an automated telephone technology calling a random sampling of listed telephone numbers nationwide. The survey included 29 questions and carries a 95 percent confidence interval. It included 806 adult respondents and carries a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.
The report showed Democrats "made more significant moves to positions that reflected more skepticism about the freedoms Americans enjoy. For instance, while 46 percent said last month that they believed freedoms had increased greatly under President Obama, just 39 percent said the same this month."
"And, while 61 percent of Democrats said last month that they felt there was a great deal of freedom for Americans to choose a form of religious worship without fear of penalty or retribution, just 47 percent said the same thing this month."
The index is based on a repeating series of 10 questions that measure aspects of freedom, including freedom of speech, religion, assembly and association.
"There is no question that this has been a tumultuous year for the relationship between the U.S. government and its citizens, but it hit something of a comparative calm spot during the last month, as there were really only two flash points that would have been on the minds of likely voters nationwide as they participated in this survey: the U.S. House of Representatives passage of a massive overhaul of the nation's health-care system, and the horrendous shootings at Fort Hood in Texas," said Wenzel.
"Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill have done an effective job at masking important details of the health reform measure," he reported. "Those details will eventually come out, probably sometime next year if the bill manages to become law. If they are as poorly received as one might expect, look for Republicans to clean up at the ballot box next fall."
Wild Thing's comment..........
Worried?? So they continue their higher taxes march towards socialized health care.
They should be worried, I hope they worry a lot more every day and see that their vote for health care for one thing willl be the death of them in politics! . I hope they lose BIG time!
Democrats worry about damage from Obama agenda
Complete nonsense! They don't give a single flying fig what the outcome is as long as they bring this nation down.
Until they reject a part of the agenda they are the Obama agenda!
The Democratic Party has declared war on the American citizens and the American way of life. It is time for American citizens to return the favor and declare war on the Democratic Party. The Dem party is on the way OUT.
....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

Of course they don't care. They just told America to go take a flying (bleep) at a rolling donut! All they care about it is money and control. They have to control our very lives you know because we are too stupid to do it on our own.

They don't have to worry because the GOP will back them all the way. Are we watching them or their lip service? It's a big shell game, of where's the Republican?

2010 is going to be interesting. Maybe the Democrats will sustain large losses. But it won't matter much. If this healthcare AND the cap and trade pass, it will be too late for us. We will be in for all practical purpposes a socialized nation with most aspects of our lives under govt. control.
