Poll Shocker: Conservatives Are More Than Twice as Likely as Liberals to Be Strongly Patriotic

Wow, say it isn’t so … the USA Today/Gallup needed to do a poll to figure the following out?

According to a new USA Today/Gallup poll, Conservatives are more than twice as likely as liberals to express very strong patriotism. No liberal media bias reported at the USA Today, where they failed to mention in their article the liberal patriotic data. NICE. At least they mentioned that 85% Tea Party members described themselves as very patriotic.

According to a new USA Today/Gallup poll in which 48 percent of conservatives said they were “extremely patriotic,” but only 19 percent of liberals made that claim.

The poll asked respondents this question: “How patriotic are you? Would you say extremely patriotic, very patriotic, somewhat patriotic, or not especially patriotic?” The poll surveyed a random sample of 1,014 adults from June 11-13, and the margin of error was plus-or-minus 4 percentage points.

Overall, 72 percent of Americans said they were either extremely (32 percent) or very patriotic (42 percent), with another 19 percent saying they were somewhat patriotic. Only 6 percent said they were “not especially patriotic.”

I guess we can see where the 6% of not especially patriotic comes from as according to the Gallup poll, Republicans and Conservatives are up 17% and 15% respectively when asked whether they were “extremely patriotic” as compared to 2005. However, Democrats and Liberals are down -2 and -4 when asked the same question for compared to 2005.

Why exactly would the LEFT consider it a badge of honor to be considered not patriotic?

VP Joe Biden Makes Comparison of Republican Tactics to Nazi “Blitzkrieg” and Insults Tea Party as Well

He is Joe Biden and he’s GAFFETASTIC! However, is it really a gaffe if it was intentional hateful speech with a purpose?

This clown just does not know when to shut up and once again has opened his mouth or email if you will and put his foot in it again. This time Biden compares the GOP to the Nazi “Blitzkrieg”.

Vice President Biden is out with an alarmed e-mail cash appeal warning that the GOP will mount a “blitzkrieg” against Democrats in the fall.

Comparing GOP tactics to the fast-striking forces of Nazi Germany, Biden warns in a message sent by the DCCC today: “As things heat up, you can expect House Democrats will be hit with a GOP blitzkrieg of vicious Swift-Boat-style attack ads, Karl Rove-inspired knockout tactics, thinly veiled attempts at character assassination and tea party disruptions.”

And while the GOP is mounting a blitzkrieg, Democrats are the allies.

“Our Democratic allies in the House need your help, and the President and I hope we can count on you to come to their defense so we can hold onto our Democratic Majority and continue moving American forward in a new direction,” Biden writes in the appeal.

Of all the words in the English language and comparisons one can make, Biden choses a term synonomous with Nazi Germany and crimes against humanity? When will these people grow up and understand, not only is such talk inappropriate and uncalled for. It also minimizes and insults the actually crimes done against millions in WWII.

The actual words that  Biden wrote were as follows:

“As things heat up, you can expect House Democrats will be hit with a GOP blitzkrieg of vicious Swift-Boat-style attack ads, Karl Rove-inspired knockout tactics, thinly veiled attempts at character assassination and tea party disruptions,” Biden wrote.

The Obama Administration and Democrats are digging their hole even deeper. Is it any wonder why Obama, Biden and the Democrat party has lost the middle and Independent voters?  Do Democrats really think that the sane American public appreciates the comparisons to Nazis? Recently, Senator Claire McCaskill suspended a staff member without pay for comparing conservative activists to Nazi brownshirts, will Obama do the same to Joe Biden?

What else can we expect from the tolerant LEFT.

My Name is Rory _ _ _ _ & I Approve this Ad … Harry Reid’s Son Doesn’t Reveal Last Name in Nevada Governor Ad

Rory who? Suddenly Rory Reid forgets he has a last name.  As The Who sings … ‘Who Are You?”

Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
‘Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

Talk about being unpopular in Nevada. Harry Reid’s son Rory who is running for Governor in Nevada did not use his last name in the following  campaign ad. Oh, I am sure it was just an oversight on Rory’s party. It has nothing to do with the fact that his dad, Harry Reid is so unpopular and losing in the polls to Republican Sharon Angle.

Fox News in Las Vegas reports that Rory wants to be known on a first name basis with voters. No, he wants oters to forget his last name and the association with his dad in a political climate against Democrat incumbents.

As the Gateway Pundit stated, first there was Cher, the Madonna and now RORY!

Presently Rory Reid finds himself behind in the polls badly to GOP candidate Brian Sandoval, 54% to 31%. With Reid name recognition like that, I wouldn’t use my last name either. Maybe Rory can have his name legally changed prior to the November elections.

Brian Sandoval, fresh off his Republican Primary win on Tuesday, now leads Democratic nominee Rory Reid 54% to 31% in the race for governor of Nevada, according to a new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state.

Three percent (3%) of Likely Voters in Nevada prefer some other candidate, and 13% remain undecided.

This marks Reid’s poorest showing to date, however. In the four previous surveys, his support has fallen in the narrow range of 33% to 35%. Sandoval in those same surveys earned 45% in February but has captured 53% to 55% of the vote since then.

Think voters are not going to come out in mass in November and send the Reid father-son team home in defeat? Rory is all but toast and an after thought. A victory by GOP candidate Sharon Angle would not only be a big win for Republicans to take back the US Senate and knock off the Democrat Majority leader … but it would also represent a huge victory for the Tea Party in having one of their own oust the top ranking Democrat in the Senate.

Going, Going, Gone … Pennsylvania US Senator Arlen Specter Loses to Challenger Joe Sestak in Dem Primary

Democrat, turned Republican turned Democrat turned out  … Incumbent US Pennsylvania Senator Specter purged by Democrats.

Town Hall might have the line of the night with regards to 80 year old, 5 term Senator Specter who believed it was his right to be a Senator for life … “As it turns out, you can’t be a power-hungry, self-absorbed, principle-less opportunist and stay in power”

Or as we like to say, Arlen Specter … NO SOUP FOR YOU!

Arlen, the Tea Party as a final word for you … Nah, nah, nah …

Once again this election season we are witness to an establishment, status quo candidate in Arlen Specter losing to the challenger in a primary.With approximately 84% of precincts reporting, Sestak was ahead 54 percent while Specter received 46% of the vote.

U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak has knocked off five-term U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter in the Democratic Senate primary.

“A win for the people, over the establishment, over the status quo, even over Washington D.C.,” Sestak declared as he delivered his victory speech Tuesday night.

Beaming ear-to-ear, Sestak thanked a packed room of supporters at his election night headquarters inside the Valley Forge Military Academy in Wayne, Pa.

“Thank you Pennsylvania…this is what democracy is all about,” he said. “I’ll never forget that it was the people of Pennsylvania that made this happen.”

Arlen Specter switched from the Republican party about a year ago after he realized that he could not win the Republican primary. Guess what Arlen, you didn’t do much better in the Democrat one either.

Earlier in the day Specter warned that without him “Democrats may not be able to fend off a tea party takeover.”As Weasel Zippers aptly stated, “You mean people who want to lower taxes, rein in government spending, strong national defense and lower the deficit  are going to take over? Oh the horror!…”

How full of one’s self could Specter actually be? It turned out that Specter should have been less concerned about the Repubicans voting out Utah Senator Bennett or Charlie Crist’s faux-Independent run … Specter should have been more concerned about Democrats purging him. And purge they did.

“What you see happening across the country is that the tea party organization has taken over,” Specter said in an interview with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell.

“We know what happened to [Sen. Bob] Bennett [R-Utah], what happened to [Florida GOP Gov. Charlie] Crist,” Specter said.

“They drove him out of the Republican Party,” Specter said of Crist, now running for the Senate as an independent in Florida.

Here is a newsflash to Specter and all Incumbents, both Democrat and Republican, WE THE PEOPLE are allowed to have a choice as to who we want to represent us and no where is it stated you get to be a politician for life.  Charlie Crist left the GOP no different than you did realizing that he could not win his parties nomination.

Pat Toomay who won his primary with ease.

This sets up a Tap Toomay (R) vs Joe Sestak (D) US Senate battle for Pennsylvania. Polls prior to the primaries had Toomay with a slight edge over Sestak.

UPDATE I: Obama goes 0 – 4 with support for candidates as Specter loses in Dem Primary.

The only thing that I can honestly say I am sadden by is the fact that the Republicans did not get a chance to take Specter out in the general election. Toomay would have most certainly done so.

UPDATE II: Will the MSM report that Specter was PURGED by Democrats? Of course not, Dems simply chose another candidate. Words like PURGED are only used when Republicans decide to go a different direction in representation. The MSM double standard continues.

Rand Paul and the Tea Party Win Kentucky GOP Primary Over Trey Grayson

Get ready this Fall midterm for the Tea Party Express!

It’s official … RAND PAUL wins the Republican Kentucky Primary defeating the establishment Republican candidate Secretary of State Trey Grayson. ABC News has projected upstart Rand Paul the victor as well in the Blue Grass state.

Political novice Rand Paul rode support from tea party activists to a rout in Kentucky’s Republican Senate primary Tuesday night, jolting the GOP establishment and providing fresh evidence of voter discontent in a turbulent midterm election season.

Paul had 59 percent of the vote with returns counted from 29 percent of the precincts, compared to 37 percent for Secretary of State Trey Grayson, who was recruited to the race by the state’s dominant Republican, U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Kentucky, a predominantly RED state where both GOP candidates were leading in the polls over the Democrat candidate. Say hello to the next Senator from Kentucky … Rand Paul.

The victory by Paul in KY speaks volumes and sets yup the 2010 midterm elections well for the Tea Party movement. It also is a wake up call to all establishment incumbent candidates, a wake up call that Tea Party folks have been vocal about for some time now. Maybe they will now be taken seriously and for what they really are … the voice of the disgruntled American public who plan on having a Revolution this November at the ballot box.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin also supported Paul, while Grayson received endorsements from establishment leaders Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and former Vice President Dick Cheney.

Palin told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that Paul’s victory is a “wake up call for the country.”

“This is a real time of awakening for America,” she said. “We have an opportunity to not embrace the status quo but to shake things up.”

In his concession speech, Grayson said he will support Paul in the general campaign. “We’ll be standing side by side on Saturday at the unity rally,” Grayson said in reference to an upcoming Republican rally in Frankfort.

UPDATE I: Rand Paul rolls to easy victory.

As it was in the polls leading up to the Republican primary … so went today’s primary for Rand Paul as with With just under 60 percent of precincts reporting, Paul was drawing 59% of the vote to Grayson’s 36%.

“The tea party movement is about saving the country from a mountain of debt that is devouring our country and that I think could lead to chaos,” Paul said grimly, laying into President Barack Obama for his participation in last year’s Copenhagen summit on global warming and accusing Obama of trying to “apologize for the industrial revolution.”

UPDATE I: RANSLIDE!!!

Already tongues are wagging over Paul’s close association to the Tea Parties. Look for the left to go after him hard. Unlike Rubio who is in a three-way race, a win by Paul in the general election will certainly confirm Tea Party strength.
