Support for the Democratic Congressional candidates fell to a new low over the past week, allowing the GOP to move slightly head for the first time in recent years in the Generic Congressional Ballot.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 41% said they would vote for their district’s Republican candidate while 39% would choose the Democrat.
Investors now favor Republicans by a 46% to 36% margin, while non-investors would vote Democratic by a 45% to 33% margin.
Democrats began the year holding a six or seven point lead over the GOP for the first several weeks of 2009. Over the past month, the gap has been smaller, with Democrats holding a two-to-four point lead. It remains to be seen whether the current results reflect lasting change or statistical noise.
Over the past year, Democratic support has ranged from a low of 39% to a high of 50%. In that same time period, Republicans have been preferred by 34% to 41% of voters nationwide.

I think by the time its all said and done the Lefties in congress will be lucky if they have jobs selling newspapers.I hope at least.
This is going to be a tremendously complicated web of crude that is going to have to be undone at some point.

I have a question for everyone here.We all gather hear and bitch and moan about dems did this, and repubs do this, Obama is a socialist ,Bush is a criminal........
There is a good chance that there is truth to all of these accusations.
Do any of you feel we as a country are in deep deep trouble,financial and Constitutionally?
Do you think our Government has run a muck?
And lastly what is everyone doing about it?
Ive started watching Glenn Beck,hes not a dem or a rep.
Ive watched him plead with the American people to wake up and start to make a change in our future.Hes pointing out what our government is doing to our country,the hows and whys.
So i ask ,what are you doing to make right out governments wrongs?
BTW if you havent yet,check out Becks 9/12 project.It is meant to point out how we can go back to the day after 9/11
when we werent dem or rep but Americans.

This website is a place for you and other like-minded Americans looking for direction in taking back the control of our country. It is also a place to find information that will assist you in navigating the rough waters we face in the days, weeks and months ahead.
We suggest that you start in your own homes. Talk to your family about the Values and Principles. Discuss the importance of what the Founders designed for America.
Hold or attend a weekly meeting in your neighborhood or town. Communication with your neighbors is vital to the process of protecting our country. Gather in living rooms, coffee houses or restaurants. Share your thoughts and ideas.
Visit this website often. Make use of the resources that are linked here. Share the ideas and resources that have worked in your home or town.
This is a non-political movement. The 9-12 Project is designed to bring us all back to the place we were on September 12, 2001. The day after America was attacked we were not obsessed with Red States, Blue States or political parties. We were united as Americans, standing together to protect the greatest nation ever created.
That same feeling – that commitment to country is what we are hoping to foster with this idea. We want to get everyone thinking like it is September 12th, 2001 again.
Ask yourself these questions:
* Do you watch the direction that America is being taken in and feel powerless to stop it?
* Do you believe that your voice isn’t loud enough to be heard above the noise anymore?
* Do you read the headlines everyday and feel an empty pit in your stomach…as if you’re completely alone?
If you’ve answered YES, then you’ve fallen for the Wizard of Oz lie. While the voices you hear in the distance may sound intimidating, as if they surround us from all sides—the reality is very different. Once you pull back the curtain, you realize that there are only a few people pressing the buttons, and their voices are weak. The truth is that they don’t surround us at all.
We surround them.
At the origin of America, our Founding Fathers built this country on 28 powerful principles. These principles were culled from all over the world and from centuries of great thinkers. We have distilled the original 28 down to the 9 basic principles.
So, how do we show America what’s really behind the curtain? Read the nine simple principles. If you believe in at least seven of them, then we have something in common.
Welcome

Actually it is a growing movement..they are organizing a huge tea party here now...I know of 10 other states as well that are doing this....keep laughing...not everyone likes the amount of money being spent and the blatant ignorance of our politicians and President on the wording in the bills they are voting for.
Personally I hope the 9/12 movement takes hold....

Yeah, I jumped on board that. When I lived in Missoula MT the old guard Democrats joined up with the Republicans to thump the New Party. Unfortunately it just drove the New Party underground and they took control of the Democrat party which controls the county. A victim of our own success

One thing that taught me was at the local level your run of the mill Democrats and Republican aren't very far apart on the issues at all. I worked for and donated to the campaigns of several Dems.
I just worry that the 9-12 thing will be submarined by those who want the two party system to continue. Abortion is a big wedge and the political power brokers are expert at utilizing that to create animosity among the masses.

I don't like him, but that doesn't mean that he is doing all of the harm. It seems that many people forget that the House and Sentate decide/make bills and all he can do is veto it or pass it. I think that there needs to be a even blance between republicans and demcrates, so one doesn't gain to much power and we can make sure that most everyone gets at least half of what they want.
As for just throwing away billions of dollors to the credit card compaines and other places makes me laugh.
Why, bail them out when they helped cause people to go it debt which they have no clue on what to do. IMO I don't think people should single anyone out, sense everyone is to blame.
Everyone is greedy in the goverment that they really don't care to much about what is affecting people that live one the streets or can't pay electricty etc. I know all we hear is how they are trying to help everyone with there money give outs and everything, but who has it helped yet besides the people making the law to pass those things and other top names. IMO, if they just got outside and say what was happening to some of the places with drug problems and gangs and say what really went on, they might thing of things in a different way. Just my .02. Anybody want to add?

Do away with parties completely and make the individual stand on his own two feet. No backing from a party...if your ideas are good and sound, your principals are solid, you shouldn't need party backing. Plus it will keep the idiots that vote straight ticket from voting just because of the D or the R.

If we didn't have a two party system. Would anything get done. Seriously consider the multiple party system of other countries. They have major issues...
Think about it this way. Say you're running a meeting. And you have 4 people, that isn't bad. What happens when you have 40?

Having nothing getting done sounds pretty good to me...really, do we need more laws? More regulations?
