The Faces of the Democrat Controlled Congress, Pelosi Favorability Rating at 11%, Reid at 8%

RUT-ROH …

Think the Democrat party is not in trouble in the upcoming 2010 midterm elections? Think again. It’s time for the Democrats to take their heads out of the sand and face the truth … denial is no substitute for reality.

How can the two most powerful Democrats in Congress have an approval rating less than the unabomber?

The Democrat Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has an 11% approval rating. That is correct, 11%!!! The reason being that pundits are touting Pelosi’s forcing of Obamacare through the House as a victory, the American people see it as treachery. Here is a frightening though …  Jammie Wearing Fool states, ‘She’s Lyndon Johnson in a Skirt.’

Oh wait, it gets better or worse if you are the Democrat Senate Majority leader Harry Reid. Reid finds himself with a 8% favorability rating.

Yet those who do have an opinion of the Democratic Congressional leaders don’t seem to have a very good one: Pelosi and Reid are viewed unfavorably by roughly three times as many people as they are viewed favorably.

Pelosi’s favorable rating in the poll stands at 11 percent. Her unfavorable rating, meanwhile, is 37 percent — meaning that more than one in three views the California Democrat negatively.

Reid’s favorable rating, meanwhile, is even lower: Eight percent. His unfavorable rating stands at 23 percent.

The Nevada Democrat, who is facing a tough reelection battle, appears to be an unknown quantity to most Americans: Nearly seven in ten say they are say they are either undecided or haven’t heard enough about Reid to offer an opinion.

Pelosi & Reid, Bosom Buddies

Who did CBS poll? It would appear some had a clue and the other just watched reality TV 24/7. How can any one at this point not know enough about Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi at this point? Give us a break. I think it is safe to say that any one in that category most likely is not voting as these people are not engaged or paying attention.

There is a reason why Congress has a 64% poor rating in the most Rasmussen poll.  You cannot over look the fact that Pelosi and Reid are the leaders of this inept, corrupt Democrat controlled government bodies.  The American people have been sickened by the back room sleazy deals, corruption, collusion, kickbacks, bribes and refusal to listen to the will of the people.

Couple this with President Barack Obama’s refusal to listen to the American people and ram Obamacare through as well and we have a “Perfect Storm” set up for 2010 and 2012. When the Democrats passed health care reform, it had 39% approval.

Obama, the 39% President, Pelosi, Reid and the Democrats will pay dearly for their actions. Many in Congress have forgot who they work for; however, they are going to be provided a reminder come this November in the midterm elections and in 2012.

Majority of Americans Now Disapprove (51% to 46%) of Barack Obama in CNN Poll

President Barack Obama has truly hit the skids. For the first time with CNN polling, The Obamamessiah now sees himself with a majority of Americans disapproving of his job as President. 51% now disapprove of Obama while only 46% approve.

For the first time, a CNN poll has found that a majority of Americans disapprove of President Obama’s job performance.

According to a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll released Monday, 51 percent of respondents disapprove of Obama’s job performance and 46 percent approve of it.

Obama’s approval rating has dropped steadily each month since December, when it was 54 percent. His highest approval rating in a CNN poll was 76 percent in February 2009 shortly after he took office.

The full polling results can be seen HERE.

Just one short year ago Obama saw himself with a 64% approval ratings while only 34$ disapproved. My how the mighty have fallen. Or is it that We the People have wizened up and seen this President for what his really is?

As for his handling of the economy, 54% of Americans disapprove while only 43% approve. On health care, 58% disapprove while only 40% approve.  We ask you America, “how are you feeling abount that hopey, changey stuff” that Obama promised?

Hot Air has more regarding this history making President. Remember, just because some thing is historic, does not mean that it isn’t historically bad. Tell me, does anything that Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the underhanded deals that the Democrats did feel anything remotely like  Civil Rights? Hardly.

The fact that Obama, Pelosi and Reid just rammed health care government take over down the throats of Americans against their will can only further weaken Obama’s poll numbers. To make matters worse, Obama is going to go on a health care gloat PR tour and tell you that he just defied the will of the American people, but you should like it any how.

See you in November Democrats at the polls.

US Rep Bart Stupak (D-MI) “I Voted For The Unborn Before I Voted Against Them”

US REP Bart Stupak voted for the unborn before he sold his soul to the devil and voted against them.

Simply incredible … After the so-called right to life Democrat US Rep Bart Stupak defended the rights of the unborn up until he made a deal to sell his soul, Stupak then slams Republicans for introducing his own “Stupak” amendment.

This is the disgusting and shameless manner that Stupak conducted himself. He then went even further and slammed the Republicans and his fellow Democrats who voted for the “Stupak” amendment in the final House bill.

Pro-abortion Dem Rep Bart Stupak via the Gateway Pundit:

“Thank you. The motion to recommit purports to be a right to life motion in the spirit of the Stupak Amendment. But as the author of the Stupak Amendment, this motion is nothing more than an opportunity to continue to deny 32 million Americans health care. The motion… The motion is really a last ditch effort of 98 years of denying Americans health care. It is the democrats who have stood up for the principle of no funding for abortion. It is the democrats through the president’s executive order that ensures the sanctity of life is protected.”

For Stupak, Obama’s Presidency was more important than the lives of the unborn that he claimed to care about.

So what was completely unacceptable 12 hours earlier by Stupak is suddenly not. What a principled man of character you are not Bart Stupak. I have more respect for those that openly admit they are pro-choice, than some one who hides behind a lie. You are a disgrace.

In the face of the American people who overwhelmingly did not support Obamacare, you helped pass it any how. Your treachery will cost the Democrat Party dearly in 2010, 2012 and thereafter.

California Senate Election 2010: Could Republican Challenger Tom Campbell Beat Democrat Barbara Boxer, Yes He Can – Boxer Lead only 43% to 41%

Could Republican Tom Campbell really win the US Senate seat in California?

Is it really possible? Could an incumbent US Senate Democrat like Barbara Boxer really be in trouble in the state of California? It’s possible when Barack Obama is the President, the budget is out of control, the Democrat party defies the will of the people and the state of California is in a state of mass economic confusion.

Enter Republican challenger Tom Campbell.

According to the most recent Scott Rasmussen poll, Democrat Boxer leads Republican Tom Campbell by only 2% points, 43% to 41%. It is a virtual dead heat now as last month Boxer claimed a 4% point lead against Campbell.

Incumbent Democrat Barbara Boxer is now in a virtual dead heat with former Congressman Tom Campbell in California’s U.S. Senate race.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters in the state finds Boxer leading Campbell 43% to 41%. Six percent (6%) prefer some other candidate, and 10% are undecided.

Obamacare does not hurt Boxer in California; however, the problem is the economy. Jobs, jobs, jobs and an out of control state budget. The metropolitan cites in CA are among the worst in the country for unemployment.

Fifty-five percent (55%) of California voters favor the Democrats’ health care plan, while 44% oppose it. These numbers include 32% who Strongly Favor the plan versus 38% who Strongly Oppose it.

It just got worse for Democrat Barbara Boxer. A recent Field Poll survey has Republican Tom Campbell ahead of Boxer 44% to 43%.  The Field Poll last had Boxer beating Campbell 48% to 38%. The tides could be shifting and trending in the direction of the Republican.  The economic and jobs situation in California cannot be a positive for any incumbent Democrat. Boxer has seem to have lost to all Republican challengers significantly; however, only Campbell has a lead. Boxer’s real issues are with her present 51% unfavorable rating and only 38% favorable. In January 2010 during the last poll, Boxer had a 48% favorable and 39% unfavorable. My what a difference a couple of months makes

Campbell 44 – Boxer 43
Boxer 45 – Fiorina 44
Boxer 45 – DeVore 41

Real Clear Politics has the polling averages HERE.

Presently Tom Campbell is leading his fellow Republicans Fiorina and DeVore in the GOP primary polls.

In the Republican U.S. Senate contest Congressman Tom Campbell is running ahead of businesswoman Carly Fiorina by six points and leads Assemblyman Chuck DeVore by nineteen points among likely GOP primary election voters.

The rankings now are Campbell 28%, Fiorina 22% and DeVore 9%. Similar to last January, a large proportion of prospective GOP primary voters – about four in ten – remained undecided.

Learning from History? The Big Lie … CBO Says that Obamacare is Deficit Neutral, Just Look at Medicare’s Projections

If we do not learn from the past, we are only destined to repeat it.

Folks, if you believe that Obamacare will be deficit neutral and save money from our federal deficits, I have some swamp land and a bridge to sell you. According to the latest CBO, they state that it is deficit neutral, but with some real accounting issues.

The CBO report was key because President Obama and the Democrats had promised to have a deficit neutral bill.  Had the CBO report said the plan would increase the deficit it almost certainly would have meant the end of reform.  Instead the report shows the bill generating more revenue than it spends through a number of means including reduction in fraud and waste.

CBO report can be seen HERE.

If any private accounting firm ever used such tactics as are included in the CBO’s analysis, they would be jailed. As reported at the WAPO, Democrats got the score they needed. Of course they did, the fudged the numbers. You can manipulate any number to look the way you want by subtracting reality.  Forget all of the nuances, the deals, the lies and the spin. Think of this in basic form and consider if you had done something similar in your own life.

Obamacare if passed today and signed into law by President Barack Hussein Obama does not take effect until 2014. However, the taxes and other means of raising money for this health care reform boondoggle take effect immediately.

How many of you would pay for a car for four years and not have the use of it? How many of you would make payments on your cell phone of blackberry and not have the use of it until four years later? Who out there pays four years of a mortgage and lives in another home?

What’s the difference?

How could anything be considered deficit neutral if you take in monies for 10 years and only pay out for a 6 year time period? Come on folks, try having your account do that one with your IRS tax returns and see what happens.

Also, such things like the doctor fix are not even included in the CBO. Tell me what Congress in the future is going to tell seniors that they are cutting medicare? What happens when they don’t? The cost of Obamacare is not deficit neutral. Not by a long shot. This bill has more accounting schemes in it like Arthur Anderson, World Com, Enron, Global Crossing and Bernie Madoff all rolled up into one.

As this so-called historic health care vote nears a victory for Obama, it is America that loses for not learning from history.

Let’s compare Obamacare’s promises to Medicare. If we do not learn from the past, we are only destined to repeat it. An estimate is just that, an estimate. When there are things purposely left out the fudge the numbers, the estimate is even worse. Check out the estimates of Medicare. Ever wonder why Medicare is going bankrupt? Because the estimates were wrong. So Obamacare could never be the same, right?

Medicare (hospital insurance). In 1965, as Congress considered legislation to establish a national Medicare program, the House Ways and Means Committee estimated that the hospital insurance portion of the program, Part A, would cost about $9 billion annually by 1990.v Actual Part A spending in 1990 was $67 billion. The actuary who provided the original cost estimates acknowledged in 1994 that, even after conservatively discounting for the unexpectedly high inflation rates of the early ‘70s and other factors, “the actual [Part A] experience was 165% higher than the estimate.”

Medicare (entire program). In 1967, the House Ways and Means Committee predicted that the new Medicare program, launched the previous year, would cost about $12 billion in 1990. Actual Medicare spending in 1990 was $110 billion— off by nearly a factor of 10.

Medicaid DSH program. In 1987, Congress estimated that Medicaid’s disproportionate share hospital (DSH) payments—which states use to provide relief to hospitals that serve especially large numbers of Medicaid and uninsured patients—would cost less than $1 billion in 1992. The actual cost that year was a staggering $17 billion. Among other things, federal lawmakers had failed to detect loopholes in the legislation that enabled states to draw significantly more money from the federal treasury than they would otherwise have been entitled to claim under the program’s traditional 50-50 funding scheme.

Medicare home care benefit. When Congress debated changes to Medicare’s home care benefit in 1988, the projected 1993 cost of the benefit was $4 billion. The actual 1993 cost was more than twice that amount, $10 billion.

Imagine if we project the same miscalculations to Obamacare.

However, the ultimate danger of Obamacare is once America sees how much damage that this has done to our budget and country, it will be too late to fix. This is why Barack Obama and the Democrats defied the will of the people and were willing to act like suicide bombers. This was their intention all along.

Obama’s intention all along was … single payer universal health care.

Obama has always been a proponent of single payer health care

Obama admits his health care plan will eliminate private health care over time

One thing is for certain. A historic vote today will mean a historic and epic loss in the 2010 midterms. If Democrats want to be in denial, that is fine. Rest assured they will not know what hit them after the votes are counted.  By Obama, Pelosi and Reid ramming this vote down American’s throats against the will of the people, even more races just came into play.
