US Population Is More Liberal Than At Any Time In A Generation...

Sour Americans Hungry for Change as Election Approaches

'DES MOINES, Iowa - A year before they choose a new government for the post-Bush era, Americans are desperate to change the country’s course.

According to opinion polls and interviews with political experts and voters, the U.S. population is more liberal than at any time in a generation, hungering to end the Iraq war, turn inward and use the federal government to solve problems at home.

Still, polling indicates, some want to turn farther right, demanding that the country fence off its Southern border, expel illegal immigrants and rein in a federal government grown fat under a Republican government they now dismiss as incompetent.

The surveys point to one thing almost all Americans tend to agree on: They’re deeply unhappy with the way things are going in the United States and eager to move on. There’s virtually no appetite to extend the Bush era, as there was at the end of Ronald Reagan’s presidency in 1988 or Bill Clinton’s in 2000.'

This is a rhetorical question but still..........

It is THE Question. Which is why I support DK.


:hi:

we'll be all right. Otherwise, we are going to have one unhappy population in '08. Let's get them to vote. That's the secret to the whole thing.

Invertebrates? Those who enable and legitimize far right policies?

Most people so inclined end up voting AGAINST someone- not FOR them.

A candidate that takes strong progressive stands- POPULAR stands on pressing issues might get them excited and out to vote. Someone who hands the likes of Tim Russert his ass when he spouts off his talking points- that sort of person will win handily (even in what the so called conventional wisdom calls "conservative" districts).

for a long time now. They thought they had the Bush dynasty-presidency sewn up but it didn't work that way. They think they are so smart.

And once they get it....

Too many are corrupted by it. Thankfully, many still are not.

It's all about the Primaries.

After his term I think the Republicans will be out of office pretty much for the foreseeable future.

at least Maggie could wear hats though, all we get with this bush guy are ball caps & cowboy neither of which he really is :hi:
