The Democrats are about to take a huge and historic loss in the coming November election with loses of dozens of House seats and near 10 Senate seats. In 1994 Democrats lost 53 seats in the House with many predicting bigger loses for them in 2010. The Republicans need a 39 seat pick-up to gain control of the House and send Pelosi backing it in as Speaker where she can no longer abuse taxpayers by spending tens of thousands of dollars flying expensive government planes. In 1994 the generic polls without a candidates name of Republicans vs. Democrats, Democrats held leads in many polls up until the election when Republicans had a small lead; but in 2010 Republicans held nice size leads for most of the year pointing to a big win for them.
While many Democrats will put the blame on Obama they only have themselves to blame. The Democrats knew Obama was a radical leftist when he ran for election in 2008 yet the Democrat party backed him. Democrats, liberals, and their liberal media supporters didn’t warn their voters about his radical background and radical leftwing policy agenda that now threatens the existence of the Democrat party and the defeat of many long time Democrat politicians.
The Democrats passed a big spending bill, close to a trillion dollars, for their misguided stimulus that put the nation closer to bankruptcy and borrowing much needed money that businesses needed to grow and individuals needed to buy things like homes There big spending bill didn’t help the economy.
Poll after poll showed that people opposed the Obama government healthcare takeover that anyone with a bit of common sense can tell it’s a disaster for the health of Americans and very expensive. Democrats went along with it in a radical attempt to expand government and run a large part of the economy in complete disregard for the health of the American people and no regard for the cost. Democrats could have said no to Obama but they believed their own propaganda and now will lose many elections because of it.
The Democrats have themselves to blame but they will try to put all the blame on Obama for his misguided leftist policies that they passed. While Obama will try to continue his radical agenda, expect many Democrats that are still in office to run away from Obama and try to save their political career.

Let’s say a young person makes $15 dollars an hour, if they can even make that much. That’s 40 hours a week for $600. Because they are single they pay high income tax and have almost no deductions. After taxes and paying part of their healthcare they take home about $450. That’s if they even get healthcare coverage. That comes to $1800 a month of income to pay their bills and live.
The money will soon be spent. For rent, take off $1000 a month, they are down to $800. Car lease of $300 so it’s $500 left. Car insurance of $200 a month leaving them with $300. The money is going fast so better to buy some food at the grocery store of $50 a week, for $200 a month. Hope the person isn’t a big eater. Now for the last $100 left for everything else. Need to drive the car to work, so need gas and tolls for $100 a month. That’s it, money gone!
What? Money gone already? This young person will not have money for clothes so he/she will go naked. Trendy clothes, designer clothes to look good or to dress well for work? No money for that. How about young women that value dressing well, jewelry, makeup, those designer shoes or purse? No money for any of it.
Will a young person work and stay home every night? Not normally. A beer with friends, going to a restaurant, cafe for coffee. Nope, no money, already broke. How about going to a movie? Don’t all young people go to movies at $10 or even $15 a ticket? No money. Forget the popcorn, or a soda or candy. Take a date to the movie and a low priced restaurant like Friday’s, for a cost of at least $50 for this cheap date; forget it, you’re broke. No money for nice clothes for going out so it won’t make a difference anyway. Oh, and forget that haircut, no money. Styling your hair isn’t possible. Some guys wouldn’t care how long their hair grows, but young women may not feel great with bad hair all the time. Did we mention shampoo and soap and other necessities? Money is long gone for those necessities. Maybe they can hit up their parents for some toilet paper or borrow some from a friend.
That $1000 for rent has to include all utility bills or did we forget that? Cable TV and internet connection better be part of the $1000 figured or there is no money for it. No premium channels of course. Where will the computer come from anyway? The old one used back in school is long gone or about done. Certainly need a cell phone. Now that is a necessity! IPhone with the extras to text friends, where does the money come from? Remember the money is gone. But need a cell phone.
Certainly a young person should have some money to buy a house. The nothing down mortgages didn’t work out so well. Put away that extra $200 a month with interest included will give a young person a sum of $30,000 for a small down payment on a house after ten years of saving! But the money is gone. Save money? How will they save when there isn’t enough money to get by day to day, month to month?
Shouldn’t a young person get married and have children? No money for dating, so it’s a little complicated. How much would be needed for a marriage? Maybe their parents will pay for a wedding but there is expense for sure. Don’t you think so? Children cost money. They eat, need healthcare, clothing, and that’s just the beginning of shelling out money for children. More than one child, a few, multiply the expense. Where will all the money come from?
Now we can see why two parents working is the new normal. Years past a father worked and the mother raised the children. Now, dump off the kids to a government run child care or school. Pay for day care or school? Are you serious? Pay for more healthcare for a family insurance plan? There are a lot of bills for children before buying any luxury like music lessons, movies, candy, a toy, or going on a family vacation. Did we mention a vacation? No money for that. No money for much of anything.
No wonder so many young people are still living with the parents and no thought of raising a family. The American dream of family with a home with a picket fence, dog, and all the things people have come to expect are out of the reach of many young people. That’s if they can even find a job in Obama nation. Unemployment is high and wages are going down if you count inflation. Some say that the weak economy may mean a lost decade of growth. What we will have in America is a lost families, a lost generation.

Democrat Senate candidate lied about serving in Vietnam. Blumenthal said, “We have learned something important since the days that I served in Vietnam,”. That was one of his many lies about serving in Vietnam. So far Democrats have been silent in calling for this liar and disgrace to resign as Attorney General of Conn. as well as drop out of the Senate race.

This radical nominee is a leftist kook so naturally Obama nominated her. Leftist Kagan opposed US military recruiting which is such a radical position that she was slapped down by 8 Supreme Court Judges including liberals. Her radical hate for the US military while at war is a disgrace, particularly that leftist Kagan is a New Yorker. Did she forget what happened to the World Trade Center and 3,000 Americans murdered on 9-11-01? She simply doesn’t care about defending America, she takes radical leftist positions to oppose our military.
Leftist Kagan knows what side she is on and Obama does also. Obama knows Kagan well from Chicago. Obama wants radicals on the court to rubber stamp is radical policies and Kagan is a leftist that will oppose the greatness of America and impose the socialist agenda. Leftist picks for the US Supreme Courts like Kagan need to be strongly opposed and any Senator that votes to approve this radical is taking sides against America and they need to be defeated in the next election.

Certain symbols represent an Administration. The oil spill in the gulf is one such symbol, of the Obama Administration in chaos and ineffective leadership. High oil prices and the weak economy continue to plague the ineffective Obama Presidency and while Obama refuses to take effective measures, oil spills in the Gulf threatening the environment, wild life, beaches and fishing.
It took Obama eight days to start to do anything after the explosion on the oil rig killed 11 people and started spilling oil in the Gulf waters. The weak and very late response and lack of leadership by Obama proves that he and his Administration can’t act when needed or disaster occurs. Obama and his cohorts are in constant campaign mode and politicize issue after issue while not doing what is needed to actually do what Presidents are suppose to do.
Obama needs speeches written for him by staff that researches what words will play well or are good propaganda and Obama reads those speeches off a teleprompter. Without his teleprompter Obama can’t put a sentence or two together from his own thoughts because his thoughts are offensive to Americans. While the oil was pouring into the Gulf waters Obama was doing speeches attacking the people of Arizona and fueling the flames of is his racist agenda. Obama also continued his bashing of Wall Street and trying to divide Americans on race and envy. People are out of work and the unemployment rate remains high but instead of smart policies to improve things, Obama wants people to blame business so to divert peoples attention from his lack of leadership on jobs and the economy. Obama wouldn’t divert his propaganda campaign for a few days to do his job when the oil spill disaster happened.
This wasn’t the way it was suppose to be. The Obama ‘being’ was suppose to be mythical and God like where nothing bad happens because he proclaims everything was past Administrations fault, Bush’s fault, or the white founding fathers fault because they were racist to him. The fact that issues require Obama to actual be a President where he has to act is a burden or nuisance to him. While Obama tries to stay above problems and blames others, Obama looks incompetent and out of touch. The Obama Administration is a disaster and all Obama does is spill his bile propaganda on America, dividing and bashing others. The Obama Administration is destructive like an oil spill.

Democrats gave their leaders, Obama, Reid and Pelosi, radical government run healthcare in opposition to the American people and freedom. The Democrats decided to destroy the greatest healthcare system in the world to impose their mean-spirited socialist policy and control over Americans.
Millions of Americans and the vast majority of the nation made it clear that putting control of Americas healthcare in the hands of government is not acceptable but the Democrats smacked Americans in the face and basically said to a America ‘suffer’ under government run healthcare. Millions of Americans, many for the first time, protested and millions more wrote letters and called Congress but Democrats didn’t listen or care but instead followed their rulers, Pelosi and Obama and their radical agenda. Democrats, Obama, Pelosi, trampled on America, the US Constitution and freedom, and the health of Americans.
The Democrats proved to be the radical socialists that they are and that they will oppose the American people. Democrats proved they can’t be trusted to protect freedoms and that Democrats will throw Americans healthcare away to expand government power over America. Democrats may have won a battle over Americans but now they will be defeated in elections for years to come. It’s up to all Americans to save the United States of America and re-establish freedom by defeating all of the radical leftist Democrats in all elections.

Like a mad man that can’t get his way, Obama is pushing Democrats in the House to pass the Senate government healthcare bill so he can sign it. Obama and his Chicago cronies are pressuring Dems to vote for it even though it will mean losing their election. Obama may not run again the way his administration is going and won’t be on the ballot till 2012 if he does run. Obama Presidency is in near ruins, his polls continue to fall and is at record lows. He has proven to be the nations worst fear, a radical leftist run amuck demolishing America and it’s greatness. Obama, like a king or a gang leader, wants Dems to commit political suicide by passing the unpopular and destructive government healthcare plan that Obama wants. It’ all about Obama and his socialist agenda that he wants to cripple Americas economy and will also be the Democrat party and Americans healthcare loss.
Pelosi in a small flash of ut-oh and obvious frustration in her loss of power to control the government healthcare bill, warned Democrats ‘we must pass the bill to see what’s in it’. The bill is the Senate’s bill, not hers in the House. Pelosi has no say what ends up passing at this point. The House bill is done and dead. Democrats in the House are told to pass the Senate bill and if the Senators get around to making changes, it will be what the Senators want and House members have no say. Pelosi can’t be happy to be in a position to be nothing more than the Senates rubber stamp on the Dems long desired government healthcare bill.
If the Dems decide to walk the plank for their leader Obama, and pass government healthcare, the Democrats party will be on life support and government healthcare won’t be able to save them. The Dems supporters that want something for nothing will soon see the bill as a bad deal – get in line with many others at clinics in the cities where they would be better off going to a dog vet. Today, the most needy get quality healthcare at the best hospitals and can see the best doctors that often treat them for charity. When Dems see the many bad issues that will result including cuts to Medicare and loss of their healthcare insurance that they liked, along with higher prices for insurance that make it impossible to afford, few will still want Obama care. Opposition will grow by the day and when the government healthcare policy turns to a disaster, Republicans and the remaining Democrats in Congress will strike it down.
Obama will be known as the Trojan horse that got in healthcare, destroyed it along with the Democrats party.

After a few days of a bump in Obama’s poll numbers of support that got him to 50 percent support, his numbers are back down. Obama’s bump only lasted a few days after his State of the Union Address to Congress.
Obama’s strongly approve to strongly disapprove also dropped back nearing pre-Congress address levels. The few day increase in support for Obama came from gains with Democrats whom were losing strong support for him. Strongly disapprove over strongly approve, is back in the mid teens, around 15 percent.
Considering the high profile publicity of a State of the Union Address and only reaching 50 percent, it’s a sign of very weak poll numbers. It may be a while for Obama to reach 50 percent again and he will likely need something to boost his numbers. It’s possible if the economy doesn’t improve that Obama may never reach 50 percent support again but if that’s the case his Presidency will be a disaster and in ruins unlike any other President.

The Democrats and Obama’s stimulus bill that was suppose to create jobs has been a failure. Since March there were three million jobs lost. (Household data, seasonally adjusted, see below) The job numbers are not improving but getting worse. Other than a small increase in jobs in November, the worst months were in the second half of the year, Aug. Sept., Oct., and Dec. (almost 600 thousand jobs lost in December)
The unemployment rate is at 10% and would be much higher if not for many people that quit looking for a job and have left the labor force. When good jobs are hard to find and pay isn’t as expected for available jobs, people leave the labor force to take care of family, go to school or become homeless. The drop in the labor force was a huge 1.5 million people; the first drop since a smaller decrease in 1961 and one of the few yearly drops ever.
This is bad news for our country, jobs, standard of living and progress. Unless there is a change in policy by the Obama administration and Democrats it will be bad news for them at election time.

Polls by Gallop and the Battleground poll (articles below) show conservatives are the largest political ideology and are gaining in numbers. The political pendulum swings, usually against the one in the Presidency. With the Dems and Obama pushing an unpopular big government agenda and huge government deficits, people are not happy and are calling for smaller conservative policies. The swing is away from intrusive and bloated government.
Elections in Nov. 2009 were the first shots across the bow as conservatives/Republicans won key races in NJ and Virginia. Many Dems including Senators Dodd and Dorgan are not running for re-election due to poor poll numbers that mean their chances of winning were unlikely. More Dems are likely to call it a career and retire rather than face humiliating defeats. It’s unlikely Reid will retire. He is arrogant enough to think he will win re-election regardless what polls show.
Democrats are in trouble politically and they know it. Dems know if they pass their massive healthcare bill it will hurt their party but also know that if they don’t pass it after going this far they will look like fools. Fools, or destroy their party, not a good choice for them.
