The Democrat's Real Problem
Bill Smith, ARRA Editor: While I do not agree 100% with the below extracted comments by Tom Jensen, it is interesting that the Public Policy Polling has noted this major shift in the Democratic Party. Where I disagree is in the degree of shift in the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party has more than shifted slightly left. It now no longer reflects the values of our grandparents. Most of our grandparents were not progressives or communists. They were traditional values people who supported the working man and objected to Rockefeller Republicans. However, the Democrat Party of the past has more than transitioned over time, it has in recent years morphed into the Progressive Socialist Elitist Party which many democrats can no longer support.
Fortunately, the majority of Republican Party has remained conservative to very conservative and have promoted values and beliefs as delineated in the party platform. However, a majority of its members would also agreed with our grandparents viewpoint regarding the elitist Rockefeller Republicans. Unfortuantely, on some planes of political reality, Rockefeller Republicans elitists are RINOs and have aligned themselves with the Democrat Progressive Socialist elitists in an effort to control Americans. These political elitist believe they are better than their the rest of the American people. Thus, they often believe they know what is best for the rest of us. And, in their efforts, they may find themselves at odds with the US Constitution; so, they either ignore or attempt to redefine it.

Extract from Post by Tom Jensen at Public Policy Polling: One story that doesn't get told often enough when it comes to the potential doom for Democrats this fall is that there really just aren't that many Obama voters shifting toward the GOP. Our last national poll found only 8% of people who voted Democratic for President in 2008 planning to go Republican for Congress in 2010. If this ends up being a huge Republican year- and it may well be- it's going to have a lot more to do with Democrats staying home than Obama voters abandoning the party.
There's not much doubt what's driving those few people who are shifting from Obama to the GOP: the economy. 72% of them think the economy's gotten worse since Obama took office, and 64% of them say their own personal economic situation has worsened. They don't have much optimism looking forward either- only 11% think the overall economy will be better by November and just 7% think their own situations will improve. . . .
