GOP Pulls Out to NINE-Point Lead in Generic Congressional Ballot, Highest in Years

Republican candidates start the year by opening a nine-point lead over Democrats, the GOP's biggest in several years, in the latest edition of the Generic Congressional Ballot.
The new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 44% would vote for their district’s Republican congressional candidate while 35% would opt for his or her Democratic opponent.

While the Republican lead has reached a new high, it should be noted that support for GOP candidates rose just one point over the past week, while support for Democrats dropped four points to its lowest level in years.
In addition, the number of Americans identifying themselves as Democrats fell to the lowest level recorded in more than seven years of tracking...

Chris Dodd: Wall Street-Washington Incest Personified


An interesting look today at bumbling incompetent and shameless crook Chris Dodd's appalling corruption and dubious relationship with the parties he was entrusted to regulate... this from the business blog Wall Street Pit:
Chris Dodd is the embodiment of what is wrong with American politics.
Why?
The incestuous relationship between Wall Street and Washington took time and willing participants. Career politicians willing to sell their soul at the expense of the American taxpayer are critical for this incest to truly develop. Enter Chris Dodd.
Who was one of Freddie and Fannie’s big money recipients? Chris Dodd.
Who received a sweetheart mortgage deal from Countrywide’s Angelo Mozilo? Chris Dodd.
Who received huge campaign dough from the Wall Street mob? Chris Dodd.

Chris Dodd Throwing-In the Towel


Sammy at
Yid with Lid tells us that Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd has scheduled a news conference today to announce that he'll be giving-up the seat he's held for 30 years, rather than face a humiliating defeat at the polls this fall.
Dodd has been repeatedly exposed over the last few years as corrupt and incompetent; as head of the Senate Banking Committee, he's plenty culpable in the subprime mortgage industry implosion. And like Dear Leader himself, Dodd has been caught lying often, like when he claimed he "didn't know" he received two sweetheart "VIP" loan deals from Countrywide Financial- while the CEO testified before Congress that he and other legislators knew from the get-go.

Not to mention that Dodd has been in the forefront of ObamaCare cheerleading, a bill that would surely destroy the private HC insurance industry... much of which is located in Dodd's home state. For these and other reasons, the Senator's poll numbers were looking grim indeed... lagging potential challengers by double-digits.

Good riddance, you bumbling statist hack-

America Rising: Open Letter to the Democratic Party


H
ead
-over to
Moonbattery today and have a look at this three-minute video presentation of this open letter- very well done, very professional, accurately captures the mood of the growing TEA party movement... and cuts like a knife -here-



In other related developments, Caught Him with a Corndog has news of public anger that's lead to a recall campaign against one of most blatant ObamaCare sellouts -here-

American Power is all-over the US Census Bureau's dubious $340M ad-campaign and the still-scheming ACORN's machinations intended to negate the Democrats' 2010 political reckoning -here-

Left Coast Rebel tells us Northrup-Grunman is but the latest top-tier employer to leave a California literally destroyed by ill-advised statist policies -here-

Any hope for the Dems leading into midterms, then?

From what the Lonely Conservative has posted re. soaring youth unemployment and personal bankruptcies, a rebound doesn't seem likely... especially when a chunk of the once-delirious Hopenchange base might soon be joining the throngs of independents already headed for the exits -here-


Campaign Themes to Watch in 2010




This from Aaron Blake at The Hill, h/t Instapundit:- the issues that stand to be game-changers for the GOP, as well as for the power-mad Democratic Party, now facing a harsh retribution at the polls in just ten months' time...

1. How real is the tea party effect?

2. How many more Democrats head for the exits?

3. Will Republicans have the funds they need to win big?

4. Does the economy turn around?

5. How will 2009 issues translate to 2010?

6. Can Republicans restore their good name?

7. What does President Barack Obama do for the Democrats?

8. How much emphasis do the national parties put on governors' races?

9. Will open seats ruin the National Republican Senatorial Committee’s (NRSC) Election Day?

10. Do Democrats face formidable primaries?

Good questions, all- he's got some answers for us

NPR: TEA Party Activists = Idiots


U
tterly
appalling- as Riehl World View puts it, "Your tax dollars at work"-

Publicly-funded NPR has posted a flash cartoon on their website that's nothing short of pure propaganda, designed to prop-up Obama as his poll numbers crater. And it manages to insult a significant chunk of the electorate in the process... portraying TEA party activists as too stupid to grasp the complex issues that Dear Leader has so obviously mastered (lmao).

As Dan Riehl said, this one needs to be seen to be believed... a new low:

Note Saul Alinsky's Rule for Radicals #5:
Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.
Shame on you, NPR- constitutionally-aware patriots don't appreciate being mocked and denigrated by you hacks, and with our own tax-dollars... and we know what you're up to.

Enjoy your ride on the Hindenburg, lackeys- a fresh GOP majority on the Hill will be cutting your funding to zero... or perhaps you've already deduced that?
