Once the people that voted for Obama see how much damage a President can REALLY do, you'll see the Republican party swell with new blood. Obama will go down as the worst President in history.. mark my words
It kills me how some people are. They don't like the way something is going so they leave. If you feel a certain way why not work to change your party? Why run away from it? It goes for the Dems or GOP.

Which people who voted for Obama?
Young people? The very young people that Republicans often claim only think about BMWs and I-pods and are too stupid for their own good.
African Americans? Probably not, especially the way Republicans talk like they want to go back to the 1950s a time of Jim Crow and segregation.
Hispanics? Probably not especially after the entire "Sotomayor is a racist" escapade and how most legitimate illegal immigration debates turn into a Hispanic bashing fest.
Homosexuals, Jews, Muslims, Atheists and all of the other people the religious right takes issue with? Probably not as the Religious right forces most republican candidates to alienate many of these voters.
Liberals? Again doubtful.
Union Members?
I am just curious which group of Obama voters will swell the Republican ranks?
I consider myself an independent, I have noticed that being a republican in this country is shameful, they tend to lack substance and intelligence, this wave of fanatical, almost psychotic and bizarre display in the townhall
meetings is just the latest in a series of shamefull behavior, ever since GWB came to power, things have gone to hell in the republican party, ms. palin appears to be the succesor to this non-sense and she will guarantee defeat in 2012.
You are one among hundreds of thousands, possibly millions, including General Eisenhowers daughter who have found the Jerry Springer Brigade too much to put up with. I left with the Bush Dynasty and there are now more independents than republicans. One wonders how an 18-23% party will elect anyone. They should be coming in third
put your money where your mouth is. I bet they take seats back in 2010.

My dad is hardcore Democrat and so was I until I left the house pulled my head out from my ass and look at the truth. I'm 26 and vote GOP and from discussions with other people my age not alone.

....and those tea bagging parties are insane, maybe more so than the town hall meetings.

Why do people believe the Dem propoganda that these are all GOPs expressing their objections at the TH Meetings, etc.
There are a heck of a lot of Dems there also - probably an equal amount.
BTW - I am a Dem and I am appalled and disgusted by what the Dems are doing in reaction to the objections of American citizens.
Are the DNC and Dem politicians so stupid they do not realize they are alienating members of their own party? Or, are they so far removed from reality that they really think it is all GOP?
I agree with that.
The Dem party is NOT what it was when I first voted and registered Dem (which I still am).
Back then they were all about freedom for individuals and personal rights. Somewhere along the line they became a party of "the people are too stupid to think for themselves so the Fed must grow to control more and more".
On top of it all, now the DNC and Dems politicians are attacking their own constituents who disagree with the policies the DNC supports.
If you look at things which have transpired over the last several years, while the Dem and GOP claim to have differences, in reality they have overall been on the same path.

Keep the arrogance going your only helping us.
Yes you and about 33% of young people.
On the other hand when I left the house, had to make a living, pay rent, pay taxes, figure out budgeting etc. I realized that Republican policies do not work in the real world. For example, you cannot survive on a minimum wage of 5.15 an hour, and if you barely make enough to pay all the bills most of the time there is no way you can make a "health saving account" and best yet if you make less then 30,000 the dems give you bigger tax cuts then Reps, who only really like to cut non-earned income taxes.
