Democrats, We’ve Seen Your Future: It’s Time to Start Packing

By Kyle Becker 1 day ago


You’ve had a good run of it in Congress, Democrats.
Racking up $7.7 trillion in debt since 2007. Overseeing the worst GDP growth in modern American history. Presiding over systemic long-term unemployment. A labor participation rate at levels unseen since 1978 – now nearly 93 million no longer in the market for a job.
Piling up a giant welfare state on top of shoulders fortunate enough to still be working. And of course, adding the cherry on top with a government takeover of healthcare – Obamacare.
The latest Pew-USA Today poll shows the Democrats’ blatant disregard for fiscal sanity and their continual use of epithets in lieu of arguments are not registering well with those who intend to vote in the 2014 mid-term election.
Via Business Insider:
The Republican Party is at its strongest point in two decades heading into midterm elections, according to a new Pew Research-USA Today poll, the latest daunting sign for Democrats ahead of campaign season.

The GOP is at an even stronger point than in previous “wave” elections in 1994 and 2010 and looks poised to make major gains — and possibly take control of the U.S. Senate.

According to the poll, out Monday, Republicans have a 47-43 lead on the generic congressional ballot. That’s a 10-point swing from October, when Democrats, boosted by GOP blame for the federal government shutdown, held a 6-point lead in the Pew poll.
Before Republicans start bouncing around going kookoo for Cocoa Puffs, it’s nothing you’ve done to earn the American people’s affection. The cause for the groundswell of people willing to walk over hot coals to vote against the Democrats in 2014?
Overall, Democrats are plagued by the still-sluggish economy, the unpopularity of the Affordable Care Act, and the undesirable views of President Obama. More voters (26%) say their vote will be “against” the president. Only 16% say their vote will be “for” Obama. And by more than a 2-to-1 margin, voters say they want the next president to pursue policies different from the Obama administration’s priorities.

As has been seen in other polls showing trouble for Democrats this year, the party is hampered by a lack of enthusiasm. For example, only 31% of Democratic voters say their vote is “for” Obama. In 2010, that number was 47%.
In other words, 2010 just may have been the warm-up act for yet another mid-term election trouncing of Democrats.
While the Republicans picked up 63 seats in the House, they were unable to finish the job in the Senate – perhaps due to some miscues in candidate selection. That probably won’t happen in 2014.
It might be time for the Democrats to quietly pack up their poll-tested slanders, their stompy-footed insistence that the charges against White House misdeeds are a bunch of “phony scandals,” and simply hit the road.
Don’t go away angry, Democrats, just go away.
