Anyone remember 2004? Democrats will not gain either houses.
Remember the 2004 elections? Almost ALL democrats were predicting a LANDSLIDE for Kerry. When in fact, it was practically almost a landslide for bush.
The Gadflyer predicts Kerry landslide
Discourse.net predicts a Kerry landslide
Washington Monthly predicts a Kerry landslide
The list goes on and on: indyweek, pretty much 80% of liberal bloggers, CNN, You get the idea. Most major media outlets were predicting a significant victory for kerry. Turned out to be a significant defeat.
First things first, many, many of those polls are taken on say, CNN’s website, where their liberal viewers will OF COURSE say kerry would win, etc. I’ve seen some political polls talking about this 2006 election cited on national television by CNN that had only 450 people who took it. 450 people, and they think that’s a valid representation? Even their 7% margin of error isn’t enough.
It’s just ridiculous. Even if you did take their grossly inflated numbers. There’s two big things left out: 1) Republicans have a higher turn out rate in mid-terms, due to better education most likely. 2) Bush’s approval rating dived from about 60% to 40% because of REPUBLICANS who left him when Bush supported Amnesty. Bush’s poll numbers actually went UP with democrats, from 9% to 11%, but with republicans went down from near 80’s to 50’s. Bush’s low approval is from illegal immigration.
Heck, if I took an approval rating poll, I’d mark “DISAPPROVE” of Bush. Yet, I sure as hell would never vote for a democrat, and I’m voting in republicans at home, abstaining on the gubernatorial because Perry is sissy on border control, and there’s a hope Kinky might be crazy enough to actually keep his promise to send 10,000 guard to the border. But you get the idea, voting in conservatives, but I would disapprove of Bush, partially cuz Bush is a liberal in republican’s clothing.
I mean, I remember when Bush said in 2000, against Clinton’s bosnian idiocy, “Out troops shouldn’t be used for nation-building”, yet lo and behold he’s building up Iraq! Why train Muslims? They are just going to come back to kill us. If a big conflict breaks out between Israel and Arabs (as it will) I guarantee the very Iraq army we train would fight Israel. Then to add insult to injury, he supports the mexican invasion of our country to the south. Then to make it worse, he has crazy socialist medicare proposals, actually WORSE than Al Gore’s in 2000, and has REFUSED to veto the spending-crazy congress. Keep in mind that democrats love spending, as they are VOCALLY big government, republicans are just being disloyal to their values, whereas those same values democrats criticize, such as big spending, is THE democratic value. The sad irony is if you lower taxes, you LOSE tax revenue, because business growth slows down. To a point, you gain tax revenue from decreasing taxes, it would probably balance out around 15%. But lowering taxes at ANY point always increases industrial growth.
