Well, everybody’s turning – Congress is at 18/78 approval/disapproval, which makes you wonder about the four percent who can’t make up their minds – but the Democrats have gone from 45% to 30% in a month, which … well, is this not a pretty graph?
Particularly that 15 point drop among Democrats, which is not so much a drop as a ‘dive.’ Unfortunately, the nature of graphs such as these cannot convey a sense of a tumbling, end-over-end, unpowered fall; not that I’m suggesting that anything happened in the last month that might have caused a catastrophic engine failure for the Democratic party.

PS: For those Democrats wondering why no-one in their party leadership doesn’t seem to want to embrace this as evidence that Congressional Democrats should embrace the President’s agenda… look at the graph of independent support. It’s been eroding over the last year… and started to steadily erode once the Democrats acquired their super-majority in July 2009. For many Congressional Democrats, this is the only job that they’ve ever known; they get twitchy when people suggest strategies that might end up forcing them to actually have to work for a living.

Trust-Blue Dogs?
eldstenorge Sunday, February 7th at 7:56PM EST (link)And, we need to remember that even though Blanche Lincoln, Ben Nelson, Mary Landrieu, and a host of congress, say they are Blue Dogs and more conservative-Where do we see it? Those they elect as their leaders in Congress set the agenda. They decide what is brought up. All the blue dogs voted for the Pelosi-Reid Cabal. They all need to go. And, they turn over for money. All three of these did. I just hope Republicans are smart enough not to give us more of the same this year as well. Because, if we trust them again and they just go liberal-lite like they have in the past, we will not trust them again.
"Blue Dogs", what a joke...

Change all of them.

Change all of them.

I would shudder if we lost those like Tom Coburn, Jim DeMint, Tom Campbell, Adam, Schock, Jason Chaffetz, Duncan Hunter, etc. These are people who stand up for right. And, look at what we got the past three years with all the change. Do you really think mass change is helping?
People are afraid. They look to our "leaders" to lead and find nothing but lies.
archer52 Sunday, February 7th at 9:22PM EST (link)Citizens may not be the most educated but they still understand the basics of life. They know something is amiss, they know their “leaders” are lying every day. How bad it is might escape them because the complexity. But they know. They also know that the vacant stares and stumbling lies by the Democrats is unacceptable and translates into “GET OUT!”
None too soon if you ask me.
