Survey Results: Dem vs. Republican

(1/5) > >>

From the NYTimes:

"One bit of presumably good news for a party that is looking for it, Americans now have a better opinion of the Democratic Party than of the Republican Party: 54 percent said they had a favorable view of Democrats, compared with 39 percent with an unfavorable view. By contrast, 49 percent have a favorable view of Republicans, compared with 46 percent holding an unfavorable one."

I predicted awhile ago that during the next four years republicans would slowly lose respect.  This is only one study, and it doesn't show a major chance yet, but as the years go on these numbers will worsen.  You can disagree with me now, but this is one argument that will be verifiable.  Personally, I know 4 republicans who voted Kerry.  One switched this year to become an independent after losing respect for his party.  One works for a pharmaseutical company, and after being a huge bush support hates him with a passion.  Another will likely never vote republican again, unless hillary runs since she hates hillary.
And the last one will probably still vote republican if someone he liked ran, but cannot for the life of him understand why republicans support GWB.  Personally, I always prided myself on being independent, and not taking sides.  My family voted Bush, and it really didnt bother me one way or the other, I remember some liberals hating Bush in 2000 and thinking they were kinda nutty.  Well, by now it should be obvious :), the republican party, as it stands today, just disgusts me.  I could never see myself voting for any republican, besides like a local politician.  My mayor is republican and he is pretty good.  I still like some of the ideals of the republican party, but now i just hope the democrats become the party of fiscal responsibility, and economic intelligence. 

Anyways, say what you will, but it seems to me that altho bush won, a lot of people were put off by the republican party this year, and as more bad things begin to occur more people will start to feel the same.  Already the dollar is falling, and inflation is rising.  The economy isn't growing at a tremendous pace.  Ohio is actually still losing jobs I believe and now more than a few prominent economists are saying we could be on the brink of economic crisis and not even realize it. 

When things start getting really bad, there is only going to be one party to blame, because there is only one party responsible.  But we'll see, maybe i'm wrong.

So you HAVE to post it, huh?

Why don't you just post a link to the NY Times website, and save yourself the trouble of posting articles everyday.... just a suggestion...

Trauma-san:
All this survey proves is that democrats hate republicans, but republicans like democrats.  Think about it.
