POLL: Dems surge into 7 point lead

[Cal33]

This article claims that many Repub. senators and reps. are facing angry constitutents at home right now,
the result of the activities of Dems in publicizing what the Repubs. have done in Congress this past year.
Well and good. But will this keep up for another 14 months?


As voters learn more about Republicans? extremist agenda, buyer?s remorse is clearly setting in. A new PPP poll this week shows that Congressional Democrats lead Republicans 47-40. The pollster?s reaction says it all:

?This 7 point advantage is the largest Democrats have had and if there was an election today think that they'd take back the House.?

We?re just 24 seats away from recapturing the Majority in 2012. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter to get all the latest updates from the campaign trail.

1. And I think some Repub and Independent women have been upset with last debate

The way Michelle Bachmann, the only female, was treated by all male candidates.
"The claws came out". Not that she didn't deserve some of this but the statement
"submissive to your husband" is kind of like telling someone to go the back of bus.
I am sure some Republican women didn't like this.

3. I agree that many Repub and Indep women must have been upset, and rightly so.

The so-called conservatives don't really have much to offer the
American people but trouble and chaos. Obama has angered many
Americans, but the conservatives are still worse by far!

5. I wish someone would ask her if she believed men should be "submissives to their wives"

if she truly believed that means "respect", she would have to answer yes.

But that answer would certainly not be agreeable to most conservative R's.

She couldn't dare answer "no".

[Cal33]

7. She could answer "It has less to do with submitting, and more to do with

freely giving on the part of both. Evidently she'd have to lie to say that,
since these Neocon and Teabagger leaders are all into power play and oneupmanship.

I can do:

" Republicans Face Angry Constituents During Accountability August

From town hall meetings to protests at their office, voters are once again outraged that House Republicans chose to protect Millionaires and Big Oil instead of protecting Medicare during the debt ceiling debate. It?s not a pretty picture for House Republicans back at home.

Check out some of the headlines:

* Protesters decry Hayworth's vote on budget, Medicare
* Demonstrators rally outside Rep. Michael Grimm's New Dorp office
* Constituents let Gardner hear it in Loveland town hall meeting "

4. I'm sure the Dems can turn it around

and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. They have a good 15 months to work on it: equivocating, putting Social Security and Medicare if not on the table, somewhere other than a 'lockbox'. They can put up mealy-mouthed corporatists who will rake in the money from Big Oil, Big Pharma, and High Finance and have no intention of voting for the common man. They can banter those right-wing talking points back and forth, without ever pulling out a truly progressive idea. They can carefully tie their comfortable walking shoes while Republican lies are running a marathon. They can seriously propose that by compromising a bad idea with a truly insane one that a good result will be had by all. And if that doesn't work, they can find Republicans that are responsible for the state of the economy and welcome them into the fold -- Hi Timmy!

8. This would mean a lot more in a year from now. It's still way too early. n/t

[Cal33]

9. Or better yet, 14 months from now.

10. Will it just be a LABEL majority or a PROGRESSIVE majority? nt

[Cal33]

12. I don't think there are that many Progressives, so it's most likely a label majority.
