The Link. It's a long time to the election next fall, but if the economy is the primary issue, the Obama camp has to be concerned. With energy prices sky high and unemployment figures refusing to budge, the administration's policies are being questioned.

What % pay no income tax? What % actually get money back even though they paid nothing in?
how many have had unemployment extended to 99 weeks?
how many get CHIPs subsidies even with incomes that would allow them to pay for children insurance?
how many now get food stamps, even many who actually can afford to buy their own food?
how many allow their children to receive free or subsidized meals ( at least 2 a day . even during summer) even though they could buy their children food

He is creating a nation of takers . 47% seems about right and they don't want to give up their gov't given aid

For the record I am NOT referring to the good people who actually seriously need help. WE should and will continue to help those. It is the people who take aid who don't need it that I fault
Kinda like Obama saying at some point you have made enough money and can share it
and then paying only 26% income tax even though he could easily pay more and he knows he is one of the ones he singled out as having at some point made enough
 
I've been toying around with the idea of finding and reading a book about what the nation was like in the ten years leading up to the Civil War. My theory is we are there again.
 
For the life of me I do not know what the 47% is approving.

Look at all general elections this way. Between 34-37% of all voters are democrats and will vote democrat. Between 34-37% are also republican and will vote republican. This leaves about 25-30% that are independent. If you look at every election, it's the independents that swing the elections. Bush was so unpopular, he only had the support of 1/2 of the republicans, nobody was happy with the direction of the country. McCain was seen as another Bush. I don't think Palin hurt his campaign as much as people believe or have reported.

The independents are unhappy again but not by as much of a margin. That could change if the economy doesn't improve. Obama has a huge advantage in the media. Most independents do not follow the blog cycles or 24 hr news coverage. They will get more informed as we get closer to the actual election season. A huge percentage of people believe Bush caused the recession. They have short attention spans. They hear the democrat slogans and sound bites and its considered fact. There is no real analysis from the masses. Keep in mind that half of these people pay little to nothing in income taxes. They do not want that to change. Obama couldnt have won a single state in this country 20 years ago. He was too far left and his past would have hurt him. The country has changed and the media has changed.

Wasn't it Tocqueville that said something to the effect that a democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.....

I believe we are at that tipping point in this country. I also believe that a republican or democrat could put the final nail in the coffin. Neither party really cares, the democrats simply prefer a much more quick path to ruin. The truth is, its already too late to do anything about it without massive civil unrest and anarchy from a large percentage of the population. The politicians to not have the courage to act in the best interest of the country. They never have. They got us into this mess. We are doomed to fail.
 
Maybe our President should look to a state he despises and has thrown under the bus for help. Yes the great State of Texas, 38% of the jobs created last year were in Texas. Texas has no state income tax and low corporate tax rates that could be key. He could also open up drilling across the country and gulf. Of course he will not, more likely his EPA will try and shut down drilling in West Texas and put more on unemployment and food stamps.
 
Obama has zero interest in reducing people's dependency on government. If he does that, he loses constituencies. If he can get the dependency number over 50%, he will pretty much guarantee himself reelection provided he can raise enough money to drive folks to the polls.
 
Biggest Welfare States

Yoladu, this link will show that the biggest "welfare states" in the country are most definitely Blue States.

Low-income, and government-dependant are not one in the same at all.
 
thanks for the link

The Link <---Federal Spending in each state per dollar of Federal Taxes

1. New Mexico - $2.03
2. Mississippi - $2.02
3. Alaska - $1.84
4. Louisiana - $1.78
5. West Virginia - $1.76
6. North Dakota - $1.68
7. Alabama - $1.66
8. South Dakota - $1.53
9. Kentucky - $1.53
10. Virginia - $1.51

mooches.
 
It's bewildering how many people think that Obama will be re-elected almost solely based on the fact that he will be the incumbent. George H. W. Bush and Carter were mentioned as exceptions to the rule, and those two are Abraham Lincoln compared to the inept boob who's in the White House now.

Obviously Obama has the built in advantage that there is an entire segment of the population who will mindlessly show up in droves to vote for him based on nothing more than his race, but that won't be enough to offset the masses who will vote against him based on the catastrophic (borderline deliberate) damage that he has done to the country.
 
I don't think the GOP has done anything to bring back votes from young and/or hispanic voters. I also don't see any of their current candidates bridging that gap.
 
Again, all these predictions brought to you by the people who thought GWB and his policies were great for the country. Credibility?

Dependence on the government, geez. Wouldn't that include things like the courts, police, schools, roads, the military? Aren't we all dependent on the government? The utopianism pervading many Oilfields today that somehow nirvana is achieved when there is no government is really intriguing if this is where the Republican Party is going. Taxes are historically low and people truly dependent on welfare programs, which I assume is what is really being lashed at here, is also historically low - and have been for over a decade. Why is this a boogey man?
