Democrats say d’oh! 68% of likely voters favor smaller government, lower taxes

pelosi obama reid

This isn’t what Barack Obama promised them. As if the polling on individual Senate, House, governor and state house races, the nation’s whole damn philosophy of government is turning away from the Democrats.

Rasmussen reports the depressing Democrat details:

Sixty-eight percent (68%) of U.S. voters prefer a smaller government with fewer services and lower taxes to a more active one that offers more services and higher taxes. That’s the second highest finding in Rasmussen Reports surveying on the question since November 2006, exceeded only by a 70% finding in August of last year.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 24% of voters prefer a more active government with more services and higher taxes. Only 19% felt that way in August 2009 as voters stormed congressional town hall meetings across the country to complain about pending health care legislation, the bailouts of the auto and financial industry and the $787-billion economic stimulus plan.

Just two months ago, 63% favored a smaller government, while 26% opted for a more active one.

Is it November yet?

  • In honor of the pending demise of the Democrat Party the following is submitted for your approval.

    Party Destruction

    The USA, it is explodin',
    Hopes fadin', bad changes comin',
    Wealth redistribution, that's what they're sayin',
    But the day of reckoning is fast approachin',
    Even Kenyan lies won't change how we're votin',
    But you tell me over and over and over you don't believe
    That you sowed the seeds of Democrat destruction.

    You're goin' down in flames and up in smoke,
    The Democrat Party has become a bad joke
    You trash the Constitution if it's in your way
    And your stimulus bills are a debt we can't pay,
    And when your President lies you just look the other way.
    But you tell me over and over and over you don't believe
    That you sowed the seeds of Democrat destruction.

    Well, don't talk to me 'bout another revolution
    We did that once, now it ain't the right solution.
    Ballots and not bullets will liberate this nation,
    From a President with a Socialist fixation.
    And a Congress marching in lock-step formation,
    Pelosi and Reid that favor aberration,
    Incumbency that leads to moral degradation,
    But you tell me over and over and over you don't believe
    That you sowed the seeds of Democrat destruction.

    Race-baiters want to start a conflagration,
    Refuse to stop illegal immigration.
    The Congress doesn't care 'bout people any more,
    Selling their souls like a two-bit whore,
    It's all about power on the Congress floor,
    Now there's too many that are rotten to the core,
    But November twenty-ten we'll kick 'em out the door.
    But you tell me over and over and over you don't believe
    That you sowed the seeds of Democrat destruction. mmm, no, no.
    That you sowed the seeds of Democrat destruction.

  • Every single subject the socialist democrats are fighting for is opposed by the American public 3 to 1.

    That my friends is what totalitarianism is all about.

  • what a wonderful picture, that is three of the four horseman of the apocalypse isn't it? they needed to go find biden to complete the face of America's destruction.
