Bad news this week for Democrats. The L.A. Times reported that a new poll released Monday “shows that there is unhappiness brewing at the other end of the political spectrum as liberals are becoming more disenchanted with Democrats, whose control of Congress is being threatened in the midterm elections.”
But that’s not all. The L.A. Times also reported in a separate article that another survey is showing that Independent voters are swinging Republican, and seven out of ten of them believe the country is going in the wrong direction!
A survey conducted for Independent Women’s Voice, a nonprofit, center-right group, also shows Republicans well-positioned to pick up independent voters in the midterm elections on Nov. 2.
A total of 40% of independents planned to vote Republican, compared with 18% who said they would vote for a Democrat, according to the survey, part of which was conducted Sept. 15-16.
Oy vey! This surely cannot be welcome news over at the Loretta Sanchez reelection campaign. Not only is the liberal base waning, but now the independents are moving to the right.
November could be a real bloodbath for the Democratic Party, if these trends hold up. The downside of that is we will be stuck with a bunch of new, truly nutter Republican Representatives. Obama will have a heck of a time getting anything down over the next two years, after he loses the House of Representatives.
To put this all in perspective, “In 2008, Obama won 52% of the independent vote, compared with 44% for the Republican presidential nominee, Sen. John McCain of Arizona. Now, 60% of independents disapprove of Obama’s job performance, while 54% said that partisanship in Washington has grown since Obama was elected,” according to the L.A. Times.
I am a Democrat and will vote for Cecilia Iglesias. I no longer like Loretta Sanchez and don’t like Van Tran either. Van Tran is a dirty politician. He lied about his home address when he is State Assembly man. How can I trust a man who is not honest and has spent tax payers money in the wrong reasons just because he wants to use his Fountain Valley address with parents.
Loretta talked very bad about Vietnamese Community in Spanish T.V.
I have many friends who are Republican and do not like Van Tran also. I will let them know to vote for Cecilia Iglesias Independent Candidate.
As I predicted many times, Socialists whether dem. or rep. will always lose because the Socialism, Liberalism, Bolshevism and political correctness are all unnatural systems for the human beings, because we have free will, and based on it will always collapse.
However, all the above mentioned systems are idealistic and are based on romanticizing non-existent human dreams of perfect societies (Shangri-la). e.i. socialists always believe that money grow on the trees thus attracting mostly young people and all these adults who did not got over their puberty and did not matured yet. In other words: the moron mongoloids.
So there is always enough of new socialists until the socialistic bubble bursts.
During these crises the socialists usually learn reality of the life and society recover and cycle repeats. In my life time, I have seen this phenomenon in 1948, 1968, 1988, 2008 so it is about 20 year cycle which equal to one generation.
Socialists are also inpatient and would engage in most brutal atrocities to quickly create these perfect societies. i.e. Hitler, Stalin, Mao etc.
Therefore, to be concern with your observations above is waste of time Pedroza.
You, as Mexican national socialist will always flip flop until you mature and there always will be plenty of Vern Nelsons to vote for socialist Masai Obama to screw things up for all of us.
The time is on my side until is all used up.
That’s a pretty vague assemblage of opinion disguised as “facts,” Stan.
Nothing is more idealistic and foolish than thebelief that unbridled capitalism works for the betterment of society. As we have seen it leads to unbridled greed and marcissistic self importance.
I’d suggest you look up the term “socialism” which ahs been thrown about pretty wildly since Obama was elected, and check your facts. You’ll find that the true socialistic countries, such as in Scandinavia, have the highest living standards and the most satisfied populace.
Hitler and Stalin? Geez, stop getting your talking points from that idiot Beck. If anyone screwed us, it was W. If the public has such a shiort memory, fine, but I sure hate circling the drain with the fools who vote for republicans again.
“Hitler and Stalin? Geez, stop getting your talking points from that idiot Beck.”…… hmmm
I was conceived under Hitler regime an lived under Stalin regime so to me it is not “Geez” but an essential lifetime period and a point of the historical reference. To you it may be a talking point! I know how the life was then! I lived it!
Scandinavia which country? Entire Europe (EU) is using Swedish type of socialism and entire Europe is bankrupt. Do not try to teach European about the European socialism. Genetically lazy Italy, Spain, Turkey and Hellas lead the pack.
The only thing good about the Europe is that they are not hang up on sex and mostly legalized all drugs so they have virtually no crime related to the prohibition.
So do not romanticize the Scandinavian socialism and go live there for while. I have Family in Sweden and have done business with Sweden company and do recall that they ask me to fudge invoices so they can afford outrages taxes. Small business is virtually impossible there. Any opportunity as an individual is impossible there. Only government like jobs and 80%+ taxes. Reason they may be allegedly happy is that their taxes are not 95% yet.
Socialism Liberalism is oppressive because outlaws humanism as in free will.
You may have a historical sense of Hitler and Stalin but the sloppy connection to socialism and them, as they were genocidal tyrants, needs to stop.
The entirety of Europe is not bankrupt, by the way. If any country is, it’s the US with its massive deficits based largely on military spending engendered by the Reagan administration.
I also have a relative in England who is a small businessman, and he’s always done just fine. He bitches about the taxes, but he sure loves it when he and his family get medical treatment under national health.
Finally, if you think you have free will in some economic manner, well, you’re pretty out to lunch. Money runs this country and the government, and neither you nor I have the massive clout corporations do. We’re just pretty well screwed. Until we have publicly finance campaigns, and do away with millions spent on manipulating the clueless public, we’ll just continue circling the drain.
It is impossible to argue with a socialist and liberal like you!
The socialism is mental disorder whether it is Left, Right or religious based.
It is always based on fear. Like global warming etc.
As I have stated in my original comment above, these crises are good and will last for a generation and next one will be in 2028 and sometime in 2018 will be a peak of the prosperity when new socialists will take over and destroy everything.
Perhaps by than we will develop pregnancy test to see who is likely to develop as a socialist and liberal and aboard them for stem cell research, or use them for organ transplant.
So, you have a degree in psychology? And “always” based on fear? The fearmongers on Fox would be insulted! Seperately, on climate change, check out the international scientific community and listen less to oil company propaganda. Look into the Koch brothers. Then get bck to me.
It is not so much that the liberals are loosing the battle, or the Republican, or the Independent Voters…..Who cares?????
What I care about is who will do a better job! It is obvious that Loretta has taken the voters for granted and Van Tran is no better coming in to continue his career in POLITICS. I am tired of POLITICIANS and their BROKEN PROMISES. This election time, I will cast my vote for Cecilia Iglesias….WHY NOT !!!! Lets bring new blood in, someone with new ideas that is willing to make a difference for our District!
Have you listened to her Yahoo Videos?…. MAN, this lady is CLEVER! She speaks from the heart and has a plan on how she will work together with the community to turn around the economy….she has a plan for immigration reform…..in fact, she supported the DREAM ACT way..way….way. before Loretta did.
I don’t trust Loretta…if I was the DREAM ACT group, I would NOT VOTE for Loretta…just because she is saying after being pressured that Cecilia would support the Dream Act, after many months Loretta agreed to support the DREAM ACT. What makes you think that she will NOT change her mind? LORETTA ONLY WANTS YOUR VOTE, she will not do anything if elected? The proof is in the pudding, she has not done anything all this years!!! DON’T TRUST HER!!! Vote for Cecilia Iglesias, she has supported you since the beginning and will make sure that in Congress you are heard, that you have a voice and that you are represented!!
So my message is, VOTE for the person that will represent you the BEST and that is CECILIA IGLESIAS!!! Cecilia is looking out for all the CITIZENS of DISTRICT 47; all AGE GROUPS, all Cultural/Ethnic Groups….
Join me to bring “TRUE REPRESENTATION for DISTRICT 47” VOTE FOR CECILIA IGLESIAS!!
Well no wonder!
When the DPOC allows clowns like Chris Prevatt (a LONG BEACH resident) and Dan Chemilinwinski, along with Claudio Gallegos speak for them what do you expect.
I know a LOT of interested Dem’s in OC, none of them even know these three. Dan reminds me of the fat guy in floral park…….Remember Howard…..Just a blow hard.
Simply put Chris Prevatt HAS NO BUSINESS BLOGGING OR TALKING ABOUT POLITICS in Orange County until he can vote here. His oversized pension is not enough to buy in to the came. Further, when Dan the tax cheat (how stupid can you be?) decides he wants to make a difference in SA, let’s see him do something.
The disgust is with the BIG MOUTH do nothings. They might be in cahoots with Cunningham, they certasinly are not helping Democrats!
