This is why November 2010 will be a Republican landslide

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

For more than three decades before the 2008 election, no Democratic president had won a majority of the electorate. In part, that was because of low support -- never more than 38 percent -- among white male voters. Things changed with Obama, who not only won a majority of all people voting, but also pulled in 41 percent of white male voters.

Polling suggests that the shift was ... because of the financial meltdown that preceded the election. It was only after the economic collapse that Obama's white male support climbed above the 38 percent ceiling. It was also at that point that Obama first sustained a clear majority among all registered voters, according to the Gallup tracking poll.

...

Pollsters regularly ask voters whether they would rather see a Democrat or Republican win their district. By February, support for Democrats among white people (male and female) was three percentage points lower than in February 1994, the year of the last Republican landslide.

Today, among whites, only 35 percent of men and 43 percent of women say they will back Democrats in the fall election. Women's preferences have remained steady since July 2009. But white men's support for a Democratic Congress has fallen eight percentage points, according to Gallup.

White men have moved away from Obama as well. The same proportion of white women approve of him -- 46 percent, according to Gallup -- as voted for him in 2008. But only 38 percent of white men approve of the President, which means that millions of white men who voted for Obama have now lost faith in him.

...

It's no accident that the flight of white males from the Democratic Party has come as the government has assumed a bigger role, including in banking and health care.

...

Obama's brand of liberalism is exactly the sort likely to drive such voters away. More like LBJ's than FDR's, Obama-style liberalism favors benefits over relief, a safety net over direct job programs, health care and environmental reform over financial reform and a stimulus package that has focused more on social service jobs -- health care work, teaching and the like -- than on the areas where a majority of job losses occurred: construction, manufacturing and related sectors.

Oh silly.....He's what "CHANGE" looks like!

I will keep, my money, my guns and my freedom, you keep the CHANGE

Interestingly enough, Obama is simply doing the things he said he would.

I don't understand the -falling out of love- thing.

The dream is to get rid of all the rascals, Socialists and Neocons.

I hear ya, I am more leaning toward the idea that we need a "States Bill Of Rights".

Doesn't matter who you send up there sooner or later they because numb to the political grind and sell out or they get replaced by a lib.

What we need are Clear constitutional limits placed on the fed which stops of limits these programs, I'm convinced it's the only hope...... unless a political blip is all we are after.

Oh, "transparancy", C-SPAN, no back-room deals, compassion, the "uniter not divider", and a tranformative prez.....

He's only met the latter, he's transforming this nation into a third world banana nation.

That's what happens when Hollywood and liberal airheads, er...PROGRESSIVE airheads govern.

Gee, I'm so proud when I see my president, eveyones president according to the constitution, mocking the opposition with dry sarcasm and completley innapropriate behavior only suitable for the schoolyard. He's standing up and daring the opposition to repeal this abomination of law in a manner that's clearly immature and continues to demonstrates his naivte.

Hey Obama, this isn't the hood dude....Geez, how embarassing this is for the rest of us. He makes Jimmy look like an elder statesman fer sure.

Too bad this dolt never really had a real job. The rest of us will soon lose what we earned and worked for all our lives only to see the "Progressives" take it away and give it to others, for as we know they think our money is their money to pass out as they please. Oh, let's not forget that they predicatably exempted themselves, and the Prez/family, from this socialist/communist law.

Catterpillar, Verizon, and others are just the first to begin to reduce benifits under this law. My company is also assesing my retirement benifits.....Hey, Juan and Maria with their 6+ children are more needy than I and why shouldn't Nancy, Harry, and Hussien take their share of my money and wealth to dole out as they see fit?

It's the only "moral" thing to do, right?

Next on this train wreck of a presidency- ILLEGAL RESDIENTS AND AMMESTY....I'm sure you're all going to be understanding that those that climbed over the fence will pay a meager fine and live happily ever after......

Oh well, you deadbeats can enjoy your "free" HC benefits in the short term.

What tickles me about these type stories is, YOu never see a counterpart story addressing the near absolute mono voting patterns of the "Black male" (or Black female)?

I mean, just imagine if say White females voted for the GOP to the tune of 95%.

We would literally have Hearing on how to "introduce diversity" into our national politics.... Charges of the worst sort would be directly made, in fact, you see them grabbing that desperate rope now when they refer to TEA PARTIES.

Interesting-yes

Surprising-no
