Thank you for your opinion, duly noted and disregarded as such.


If you'd like reference for the numbers within the poll that substantiate the thread topic as well as the quote, please go to page 7.

I have no doubt if CNN had asked the next logical question, which would be, "do you want your taxes raised to pay for this", the answer would be NO.

But how to reconcile your poll and my two polls that are polar opposites.

People think his policies have failed and WILL fail in the next stimulus. Can't get any more clearer than that.

Just ask Colorado voters what they think of tax increases to fund more government crap.

I prefer to believe ELECTIONS rather than polls, however. And the 2010 was ALL ABOUT stopping obama's tax and spend big government. The GOP is doing EXACTLY what the voters want.

lol...of course you have no doubt. Don't worry, McCain/Palin will win the election.

Exactly what the voters want huh? You're going to love my next thread topic...

Why has Congress' approval nosedived under Republican Teaparty Leadership?

In the meantime 72% is a pretty high number of folks, isn't it?

Essentially he's right. The vast majority of Republicans I know are not wealthy at all. They are blue-collar and tend to be on the lower end of middle class. Those are the ones who would typically have those jobs in construction. The Republicans in Washington tend to be wealthy and only focused on passing legislation that would benefit other equally wealthy individuals.

I will stand by what I've always said: you're an idiot if you're a Republican and you're not rich.

Sure there is. They don't want to vote for another Obama slush fund.

Weren't you paying attention in 2010?

Which Republican was elected in 2010 to rubberstamp Obama's crap? None of them.
