How the latest Gallup Poll must hurt in the White House. The American people believe government is trying to do too much. Gee, that wasn’t the sort of “change” the Prez & Co. wanted!
Americans are more likely today than in the recent past to believe that government is taking on too much responsibility for solving the nation’s problems and is over-regulating business. New Gallup data show that 57% of Americans say the government is trying to do too many things that should be left to businesses and individuals, and 45% say there is too much government regulation of business. Both reflect the highest such readings in more than a decade.

With results like this, moderate Democratic congressmen might want to think once, twice, and three times before voting to nationalize the health care system.

Doug,
speaking of the government "doing too much", they are now following T.E.A.M. AMERICA on Twitter. We feel that is sorta' an honor. I'm sure the Spectator is on their list as well.
Congratulations! If one of you will join the Team,
out of the money we have donated to the Spectator, you can see exactly why they are following us....or trying to intimidate us.
Is it paranoia when one is being "followed", and the follower lets it be known? heh

The disturbing thing is that 24% and 38%, respectively, feel the government isn't doing ENOUGH. Therein lies the great divide in this country - the workers and the leeches. The former provides the money for the government to give to the later ... and they want more. Much more. Likely the Dems will find a way, like it or not, to give it to them.
It's all about the votes!
