A new poll from Wall Street Journal/NBC News finds that the Republicans are gaining ground on the issues of the economy, foreign policy and the federal deficit, earning higher ratings than Democrats. The GOP is gaining favor ability among independents in particular. But there's another interesting poll released by Pew Research this week which found that 71% of Tea Partiers disapprove of GOP leadership. So what is happening here? I would argue that it is not so much that Republicans are gaining ground, but that the Democrats are losing ground and conservatives are gaining (though often identified as Republicans). Yes, there is a difference between Republicans and conservatives. I am a registered conservative. I want to see conservative principles implemented in Washington, but you can't do that if you don't have conservatives who are willing to fight for them. This is where some Republicans are failing. While I would hope that the Republican Party would stand for conservative principles, that has been called into question lately, particularly on the issue of defunding ObamaCare. Defunding ObamaCare Another poll this week found that only 39% of Americans support ObamaCare. The number of people opposed to ObamaCare continues to grow! Yet Republicans in Congress still cannot manage to muster the courage to defund it. If a wildly unpopular and unworkable law cannot be defeated, that is inexcusable. But some Republicans in Congress are too concerned about maintaing their own power than actually doing what is best for this country. The battle to defund ObamaCare continues to wage on. Just recently is this proposal put forth by Georgia Republican Congressman Tom Graves that would fund the government and delay the implementation of ObamaCare by one year. It's called the Security, Stability, and Fairness Resolution and it is co-sponsored by 42 House Republicans. This is the real-deal effort to defund ObamaCare, and it is upsetting that it doesn't have the support of every Republican in Washington DC. Nearly every single Republican ran for office on the promise of defunding ObamaCare. Here's their chance. Where are many of them to stand up and truly fight? Reagan once rhetorically asked: “Is it a third party we need, or is it a new and revitalized second party, raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people?” If Republicans fail to fight on this issue, they will show themselves as nothing more than watered-down Democrats. I doubt that is going to generate voter enthusiasm in the years to come. |

| Outrageous: Neanderthals & Anarchists You know that Democrats must be getting desperate when they resort to name-calling. This is exactly what we've seen this week from liberal leaders in Washington. Let's start with Crazy Uncle Joe. He's been remarkably silent on the issue of Syria. Then again, the pedestal of incompetence and gaffes has been assumed by John Kerry and Barack Obama when it comes to Syria. But anyway, Biden thew a reception in his home yesterday to mark the passage of the Violence Against Women Act. Speaking on the issue of Republican resistance, Biden referred to conservatives as “neanderthals.” Really? Liberals must be incredibly dumb if they cannot understand that limited government is not the same as no government. Tea Partiers believe in government, they just don't want to see it perverted to be something that it was not originally intended to be. The Constitution outlines specifically the role of the federal government, and yet decades of progressive policies ha ve made a mockery of this. It doesn't mean that no government should exist, but that government should exist in the form it was originally intended as outlined by the Constitution. But I guess I wouldn't expect Democrats to understand that, seeing as they generally view the Constitution as nothing more than a speed bump for the implementation of their liberal, Utopian ideals. Today's "Hot Topic" From the Hannity Forums Freedom Of The Press For Some - Posted by Boberst Authoritarians in the Senate passed a bill overwhelmingly to "protect" journalists from having to reveal their sources if compelled but not really. Also attempts to define a protected journalist class that is more equal than regular people who enjoy the first amendments freedom of the press. Read this. The bill would not protect whistle blower sites like Wikileaks if they used "primary source" documents without authorization which translates to you need to be employed as a journalist to post whistle blower leaks if you want protections. Feinstein, Schumer etc are reeling in money-making joy at the blissful idea of this progressive act. >>TV Tonight (9pm ET on Fox News) Frank Luntz joins Sean and a tough focus group on what America should do in Syria. |
