Democrats – proving that they can’t stand properity – are well on their way to losing power come November. No matter how you crunch the numbers our wins should eclipse the 40 needed to send Pelosi into obsurity and a once thought long shot at the Senate is well in grasp. Pollsters Patrick H. Caddell and Douglas E. Schoen who polled for Democrats Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, write in the Washington Post:
“As pollsters to the past two Democratic presidents, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, respectively, we feel compelled to challenge the myths that seem to be prevailing in the political discourse and to once again urge a change in course before it is too late. At stake is the kind of mainstream, common-sense Democratic Party that we believe is crucial to the success of the American enterprise.
Bluntly put, this is the political reality:
First, the battle for public opinion has been lost. Comprehensive health care has been lost. If it fails, as appears possible, Democrats will face the brunt of the electorate’s reaction. If it passes, however, Democrats will face a far greater calamitous reaction at the polls. Wishing, praying or pretending will not change these outcomes.
Nothing has been more disconcerting than to watch Democratic politicians and their media supporters deceive themselves into believing that the public favors the Democrats’ current health-care plan. Yes, most Americans believe, as we do, that real health-care reform is needed. And yes, certain proposals in the plan are supported by the public.
However, a solid majority of Americans opposes the massive health-reform plan. Four-fifths of those who oppose the plan strongly oppose it, according to Rasmussen polling this week, while only half of those who support the plan do so strongly. Many more Americans believe the legislation will worsen their health care, cost them more personally and add significantly to the national deficit. Never in our experience as pollsters can we recall such self-deluding misconstruction of survey data.
The White House document released Thursday arguing that reform is becoming more popular is in large part fighting the last war. This isn’t 1994; it’s 2010. And the bottom line is that the American public is overwhelmingly against this bill in its totality even if they like some of its parts.
The notion that once enactment is forced, the public will suddenly embrace health-care reform could not be further from the truth — and is likely to become a rallying cry for disaffected Republicans, independents and, yes, Democrats.”
We’ve known for a while that Democrats have been deluding themselves. Using the disproved talking point that Americans are behind THEIR plan, they continue in the insanity of trying to show their healthcare plan even if they have to use less than constitutional means.
What we have seen here isn’t so much insanity as it is the very reason why Democrats have lost the ability to lead. They’ve totally disqualified themselves by chucking all the traits and tenants of leadership and abdicating their responsibility as elected representatives of the people. Not self-proclaimed lords over the lives of a free people.
For this they will face wrath come November, and of course they’ll blame us – Republicans – for what they call “obstructionism”, when in fact we’ve been on the side of Americans – who don’t want the bill – from the beginning. Democrats ignored the signs via the Tea Party Movement and thousands that clearly voiced displeasure at town hall meetings across the country.
Which is why November won’t be the loss of their power, it will signal the beginning of their banishment to the wilderness for many years to come.
