Thanks Be to Obama

He's succeeded in the almost impossible task of making incompetent, unprincipled Republican politicians more popular than their Democratic counterparts.

According to Rasmussen Reports:

For the first time in recent years, voters trust Republicans more than Democrats on all 10 key electoral issues regularly tracked by Rasmussen Reports. The GOP holds double-digit advantages on five of them.

Republicans have nearly doubled their lead over Democrats on economic issues to 49% to 35%, after leading by eight points in September.

The GOP also holds a 54% to 31% advantage on national security issues and a 50% to 31% lead on the handling of the war in Iraq.

And that's just after nine months.  Give the president a couple of years and see what happens!

Don't worry. I'm sure that Republicans are incompetent and unprincipled enough to turn these numbers around!

Jim Hlavac| 10.24.09 @ 5:54PM

Throw the bums out -- Republocrats and Demopublicans -- the whole lot of them.
Not a one currently in office is worthy of the position. Go get the first 12 people from every statewide phone book (about 535 folks) -- and then put them into office, and that would be better.

OMG, President Obama should be able to turn water to wine if he can make people think this Republican party can be an improvement.
We need a Freedom Party. Libertarian? Constitution? Conservative?
I'd take Whig at this point.

Eric Dondero| 10.25.09 @ 9:09AM

A Libertarian Party already exists; has existed for 35 years +. But conservatives are too stubborn to support Libertarian candidates, even amazingly, when there's no Republican on the ballot. (Durham, NC for example has a Mayoral run-off in Nov. with only a Libertarian challenging a Democrat.)

Though, ironically, conservatives are all enthusiastic about supporting Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman.

The 2010 and beyond GOP imperative primaries is to rind the RINOs from their democrat-lite 'skin'.

Richard Baker| 10.25.09 @ 6:25PM

Eric:
Supporting the Libertarians is difficult for Conservatives because of your disconnect with the foundational requirement for morality, as espoused by the Founding Fathers. Just saying you go your way and I'll go mine leads to the same moral anarchy seen in Detroit.
“We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion.Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” John Adams

Margie| 10.26.09 @ 1:15AM

Thanks, Mr. Baker. I couldn't agree more.

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.

Alan Brooks| 10.26.09 @ 9:33AM

"And that's just after nine months. Give the president a couple of years and see what happens!"

That's what you All knowing, all seeing MahaRushie-crystal ball gazers said in '93, and what happened? WHOSE wife is SecState? You

Alan Brooks| 10.26.09 @ 9:37AM

...KNOW a GOP Speaker will enter the House in 2011, and he, or she, will grease the way for Obama's re-election.
Then the Speaker will fizzle into history.

sounds familiar?
