Rumors Of “Lost” GOP Greatly Exaggerated

mericans apparently aren’t as dumb as some people think.  As the roadmap to Obama’s new America unfolds, Americans see through the glib talk and airy promises, and are putting their trust in the GOP.  So says Rasmussen:

Voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on six out of 10 key issues, including the top issue of the economy.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 45% now trust the GOP more to handle economic issues, while 39% trust Democrats more.

This is the first time in over two years of polling that the GOP has held the advantage on this issue.

Now that’s change I can believe in!

The GOP also is more trusted in ethics (6 point lead), national security (15 point lead), the war in Iraq (9 point lead), immigration (6 point lead) and taxes (5 point lead). Non-affiliated voters appear to be breaking in larger numbers towards the GOP in most of these categories.

Unfortunately, the Dems still lead in healthcare (10 points, down from 18), Social Security (6 points, down from 9) and education (7 points).

On abortion, the parties remain tied.

And if that’s not enough good news for you, there’s this, from @breakingnews:

WCBS — NY Senate Republicans voted to replace Malcolm Smith as Majority Leader after two Democrats switched sides, giving GOP control.

       Seems to me rhar now would be the perfect time to start a campaign ro de-elect ALL incubents at every level of government in the state.  If they’ve got one or more terms out they go, every one of them.   This would start at the local level, then county, state (can’t happen too soon), and then national.   The slogan could be “If they’re in, throw’em out”.  Seems to be working in England and the EU Parliament.

With Obama winning the presidency by seven percent, we can't blame the media. Their laudatory coverage and refusal to extensively probe into Obama's background and [lack of] experience was at best responsible for five percent of his vote, the pundits tell us. Here is a compilation of over 100 significant instances of pro-Obama/anti-McCain bias during the 2008 campaign.
