2010 Midterms

I have not written a lot about this subject, but I have spoken about it a great deal with libs on Facebook. Most Democrats are living in some sort of fantasy land. They believe they will be reelected if they simply bash Bush. Well I am here to let them know, that Americans have had enough of the Bush bashing. It cannot last forever. Eventually the "chickens do come home to roost".
I see three trends that are going to make if very difficult for the Democrats to hold onto to their super majorities in Congress.
- The conservative base is very energized about this year's midterm. They have been blogging, writing letters to their congressman/congresswoman and Tea Parties have formed and show that they are a force to be reckoned with (see Ran Paul KY,Sharron Angle NV).
- Democrats have misread the past two election cycles. Since the 2006-08 election cycles Dems have let their hair down so to speak. They have come out of their cloaks and are showing us they are the big spending, higher taxes, die hard liberals we (conservatives) always knew they were. Independents voted for the Dems the past two election cycles, but things are changing. A reader from the Washington Post sums it up this way:

"In 2006, Democrats talked about how bad the economy was and how they could do better. In 2006, unemployment was 4.3% and in decline. After taking control of both branches of Congress (and therefore all legislation and spending), they drove the rate to 8%. With the help of a super-majority in Congress and Obama in the White House in early 2007, they drove the rate to 10% where it hovers now."

This week it was reported that Barry's approval with Independents is slipping away. After having an approval as high as 56% his standing is now hovering around 38%.

- Last but not least is the economy. As stated in the paragraph above, the unemployment rate was around 4.3% when the Dems took over Congress in 2006. Since 2008 the President and this liberal Congress have helped increase this number with their horrible fiscal policies. We have a deficit that is rising faster than the temperature in AZ in the month of August! These guys (and gals) have spent billions and even trillions on healthcare, job bills (lol), a non working stimulus, bailouts, etc...

I have only about 4 months to see if I am right or not, but the way things are going now, I wouldn't bet against me.
