There isn’t a lot of consensus in Washington, D.C., but party operatives on both sides of the aisle as well as members of the media seem to be united in their distrust of polls conducted by Rasmussen Reports. But with new polling by a Democratic firm in three key states showing identical results, is it time for a re-evaluation of Rasmussen?

That might be unwise now...

I wonder when our Leftie friends are going to finally figure out the difference between a Registered Voters poll (which shows more Dems than Republicans, because there are more registered Dems than registered Republicans in America) and a Likely Voters poll (which shows more Republicans then Dems, because more Republicans than Dems actually show up and vote, derrrr).

It just stuck with me how insane such a sentiment is..

I think Mort mentioned it in his article as well.

The first rule of financial management. When you are in a hole, STOP DIGGING...

Such logical advice.. Yet it just flys over the head of the Obama Administration..

Obama et al not only did NOT stop digging, they brought in heavy equipment to dig deeper, faster...

It's no wonder this economy of ours is about to implode...

Michale.....

LOL. Has the White House pulled him off the public stage yet? Or is he still out there, saying stuff like that?

I have just been reading that article... Here is an excerpt below:

Who could be surprised since millions of voters have discovered that for themselves? As one realizes the morning after the night before, there is an unavoidable penalty for excess. It is unnerving to wake up and learn that you have a mortgage on your home that exceeds the value of the property. Or, and too often both, you have a credit card line that you cannot repay and the issuer has you on the rack for ever bigger compound interest on the debt. The lesson has been well and truly learned that debt catches up with you. Millions understand that they are just going to have to find a way to live within their means—and then still eke out some savings to pay down debt. And there are well over 14 million Americans without a paying job, so the level of discontent is very high. Just how are they going to regain control of their lives?

Now, compare that with this:

"We Have to Go Spend Money to Keep From Going Bankrupt"
-Vice President Joe Biden

And people wonder why the Democratic Party is going to get trounced this election...

Michale.....

And therein lies the crux of the problem with Democrats.

As I have stated time and time and time again, there really isn't any difference between the hysterical Right and the hysterical Left...

The Left likes to pretend it is above all that, but as we see the personification of the Democratic Party in Mary Frances Berry, the Left can be as despicable, deceitful and downright nasty as the Right.

I wonder how many on the LEFT will condemn Mary Frances Berry...

I am guessing 2 people will... 3 tops...

Michale.....

Zuckerman: The Most Fiscally Irresponsible Gov’t in U.S. History

“This willful and purposeful use of the race card for nothing more than political gain is toxic to race relations, and Mary Frances Berry must know that. But she evidently does not care. Based on her comment, political posturing takes primacy over whatever real issues regarding race that she might pretend are her calling cards. I have seen this all before. I find it shameful.

Tea Party Spells KKK, Rights Leader Says
Black Leaders Outraged Over 'Restoring Honor' Rally
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/tea-party-compared-kkk-rev-walter-fauntroy/story?id=11489233

Another of the hysterical Left who states that the entire Tea Party is racist.

Interesting thing about that report.

This Fauntroy guy claims that the "same people" who cut the sound system cables at MLK's speech are the "same people" who are having the "Restoring Honor" rally...

Get that?? The "same people"....

I would love to see the evidence of THAT accusation, eh?? :D

Further, Fauntroy is "outraged" that the Right would have a rally at the site of MLK's "I HAVE A DREAM" speech.. Yet this same guy sees a mosque a scant two blocks from the site of the worst attacks on US Soil by Islamic terrorists..

Oh, the irony....

Hypocrisy, thy name is Fauntroy.

Hahahahhaha!! Love it. Am I only the "24" fan around here? Who else watched it? C'mon, outta your closets, all of ya.

The three men arrested are accused of conspiring with at least three others — identified as James Lara, Rizgar Alizadeh and Zakaria Mamosta — and other “persons unknown”, who have been at one time or another located in Canada, Iran, Afghanistan, Dubai and Pakistan, to facilitate a “terrorist activity” between February 2008 and Aug. 24 of this year.

I'm gonna take a really wild guess that the Canadian Idol screeners mistook him for some nice "moderate" fellow.

:D

Oh, now, I REALLY like that one!! :D

Michale.....

Hahahaha. I read a bunch of these, only it was "Jack Bauer" in place of Chuck Norris:

If you are still verbally capable of telling Jack Bauer that he is hurting you, then trust me, he isn't.

...former Virginia Gov. Wilder raises an interesting question re: Obama getting himself a veep who's electable in 2016. But I think Obama would probably wanna wait and see if he, himself, is electable in 2012 before switching out veeps to line up for a 2016 run.

Joe Biden is quoted as saying that the direction of the country is headed in the right direction...

I guess that makes Biden part of the 23% of Americans who think the same thing...

Or, given the likely outcome of the upcoming mid-terms, maybe Biden meant that the country is headed in the "Right" direction.. :D

Michale.....

That's a good one! :D

My fav...

When the Boogieman goes to bed he checks the closet and under the bed for Chuck Norris

:D

Michale.....

When I saw a picture of him, I thought the same thing :)

"Chuck Norris doesn't wear a watch. He decides what time it is."

Murkowski's opponent, Joe Miller, is the spittin' image of Chuck Norris.

How could he NOT win!?? :D

Michale.....

I don't know about that. Rubio won his primary with 85% of the vote and he's about five-to-eight points ahead of Crist in likely voters polls. Again, don't hold me to anything I say about Florida or any other 3-way race (which I hate), but Florida has a lot of Indies, and Indies seem to be leaning Right all around the nation. Plus, I don't see Dems getting behind Republican flip-flopping Crist. I think they're gonna get behind Meek or stay home.

The interesting thing is that there really isn't any evidence of weakened Indie support in the polls, where Tea Party candidates are concerned. You liberals seem to be the only ones reeling in horror. Hahahaha.

The answer, as with all things Tea Party, is (once again): "it's hard to be sure."

ROFL. Have I mentioned lately how much I enjoy your writing style?

The more I observe, the more confident I am that I nailed this awhile ago with that Gallup poll of "traditionalists." When you come right down to it, I think Tea Partiers are simply a 24%-ish group within this 53% majority, who are seeking to move back to basic American values, which would naturally include Constitutional values:

http://www.gallup.com/poll/123326/Renewed-Desire-Gov-Promote-Traditional-Values.aspx

[excerpt] Americans' views of the proper government role in promoting traditional values had moved in a more liberal direction since 2005, to the point that last year, as many said the government should not promote traditional values as said it should. If that trend had continued, 2009 would have marked the first time Gallup found more Americans preferring that the government refrain from actively promoting traditional values. Instead, Americans' attitudes reverted to a more conservative point of view on the matter. Now, Americans favor the government's promoting traditional values by an 11-point margin, similar to the double-digit margins favoring that view through much of the prior two decades.
