Americans uneasy with GOP leadership

Tom Delay, the war in Iraq, President Bush spying on Americans, well what do you expect? No wonder Americans are fed up with all the shennanigans going on at the White House. There are far more reasons for Americans to be uneasy with the GOP but those 3 will suffice for now.

Poll: Public uneasy with GOP leadership



WASHINGTON (AP) — Dissatisfied with the nation's direction, Americans are leaning toward wanting a change in which political party leads Congress — preferring that Democrats take control, an AP-Ipsos poll found. Democrats are favored over Republicans 49% to 36%.

President Bush's job approval remains low — 40% in the AP-Ipsos poll, with only one-third saying the country is headed in the right direction. Bush also remains low on his handling of Iraq, where violence against Iraqis and U.S. troops has been surging.

"I just don't like the direction our country is going in," said Steve Brown, a political independent from Olympia, Wash. "I think a balance of power would be beneficial right now."

Republicans are watching the situation unfold with some nervousness...

Re: Americans uneasy with GOP leadership

I don't think Republicans have a chance in hell of winning the presidential election in 2008. However, the democrats are just as scary a prospect as the corrupt GOP. I'm going to be voting in 2008 and I will support a candidate who I truely believe will help this country. Voting for the lesser evil is a dumb thing and I don't see why we have to subject ourselves to these horrible leaders. Progression shouldn't come in the form of a democrat or a republican.

It's going to be a good year for Democrats.

Yea, ...I BET they are political independents, . .huh huh! The media is pretty slick, ..but NOT slick enough!

The media, & the democratic party leadership would prefer people believing that THEIR views represent the mainstream majority, ..& I would say that it probably does, ..BUT ONLY IN THEIR DREAMS! :smile:

Re: Americans uneasy with GOP leadership

The fact is that America is a conservative country and with evangelicals presenting a 1/3 of the people that do vote, I beleive 2004 was the Democrats last chance.

The only way a Democrat is going to President if he acts "like Clinton" as a liberal Republicans like Eisenhower - an old-style Republican.

Liberalism and Big Government is dying in America.

But, Hoot, the republicans made their Contract with America, where they promised to be much more honorable than the democrats were when they were in power.

Quote:
REPUBLICAN CONTRACT WITH AMERICA

As Republican Members of the House of Representatives and as citizens seeking to join that body we propose not just to change its policies, but even more important, to restore the bonds of trust between the people and their elected representatives.

Not if the current crew of "big government conservatives" keeps the reins.

I'm sorry, my dear, but everyone knows it better now as the "Contract On America."
