Check these two sets of stats:
“Eighty-eight percent (88%) of Republicans and 63% of voters not affiliated with either major party like a smaller government better. Democrats are more narrowly divided: 51% favor a smaller government, but 37% opt for a larger, more activist government.
“Sixty-five percent (65%) of liberals chose a government with more services and higher taxes. Eighty-six percent (86%) of conservatives think a smaller government is better.”
First, a majority of all registration flavors favor smaller government. Second, if a majority of “liberals” want otherwise, they must therefore be a minority of all the other groups. We know that libs self-identify at half the rate of conservatives, but these data underscore that.
Next, how about this?
“Sixty-two percent (62%) of all voters say tax cuts are a better way than more government spending to create jobs and fight unemployment. Only 21% say additional stimulus spending is a more effective tool.”
You’d think Washington would listen, eh? We do not like your way of doing things. Clearly. If it were an election with those results – even 62% to 38% – it would be called the Mandate of the Ages.
All of these stats point to one thing: Election 2010 is going to be a wonderful time!

Now that is something this old girl could handle….lower taxes and the government out of our lives. I’LL take it. I won’t get it….but the thought makes me so happy!
Americans have been speaking loud and clear but politicians are believing their own rhetoric. Take the example of the woman who tralved 500 miles to meet with Ben Nelson (D). She received 3 minutes, even though the meeting had been set up in advance. He told her that the Tea Party was nothing but a bunch of Republican Hacks. That is the real danger – that our politicians don’t have a clue of what is happening inside America; they are believing what Reid and Obama and Pelosi are telling them, and they are going to be run over by a freight train in 2010 and 2012.
America is on the war path and the scalps are in Washington D.C., but not for long. More blog: http://www.can-you-hear-us-now.com, on these topic.
