Next On the Rushpubliscum Agenda: Repeal of the 19th Amendment

Rushpubliscums have often expressed their hatred for the 14th Amendment, and Klanbagger Governors have crafted laws to combat “voter fraud” that basically ignores the 14th Amendment’s granting of voting rights to minorities. And we all know why, of course: minority voters caught on to who and what the Rushpubliscums are awhile ago. If you let too many of THOSE people vote, there is no way a Rushpubliscum majority can survive in large parts of the country. And nationally? Forget it.

The thing is….. getting rid of the 14th Amendment might not be enough for the Rushpubliscums now. Not after their jihad on women. I will say this much for them, however: at least their jihad on women hasn’t been race-defined. They just plain hate women. ALL of them.

Looks like those Klanbaggers will have to reconvene and write some new “voter fraud” laws to deal with the women, too.

This survey sees a collapse of the Republican brand at almost all levels. Negatives associated with the Republican Party have not been this high since right after they lost the country in 2008. Their presumptive nominee flirts with a 50 percent negative rating and may now represent a big drag on the national party.

President Obama nears the 50 percent mark and is now just four points away from what he achieved in 2008. Democrats have newly consolidated the progressive voters of the Rising American Electorate who were responsible for Democratic victories in 2006 and 2008. These voters—unmarried women, young voters, and minorities—dropped off in 2010 and lagged throughout 2011. They have returned in a big way for Democrats, led by aresurgence and re-engagement of unmarried women. Only young voters have not been re-consolidated, which is either a problem or an opportunity.

Seniors, who abandoned Democrats in 2010, have come back two surveys in a row and suburban swing voters watch the Republican primary debate with growing alienation from the Republican Party. The tax issue, a presumptive Republican advantage, has moved dramatically in favor of the Democrats.

These results may not simply be the result of a spot of good economic news and rough news cycles for Republican nominees, but the beginning of long-term structural changes that will characterize the 2012 election cycle.

Recent controversies over Planned Parenthood and contraception will not revive the Republican’s standing, indeed, the opposite may be true, as this survey shows voters disagree with them on principle and wonder why at a time of great economic distress, Republicans are consumed with denying birth control coverage for women.

This survey provides fair warning to the Republican Party that they may be losing the country.

• The Republican brand is in a state of collapse – over 50 percent of voters give the Republican Party a cool, negative rating. The presidential race and the congressional battles are interacting with each other to drive down their lead candidate, the party, and perceptions of the congressional Republicans.

• Romney may be on the edge of political death. The shift against him is one of the biggest in the polls and he now competes with Republicans in Congress for unpopularity. In the summer of 1996, Bob Dole essentially was disqualified in voters’ eyes and never really recovered his footing.

• President Obama is now at the critical 50 percent mark on approval and is approaching 50 percent on the ballot. More people view him favorably than negatively, creating a different climate at the top where Obama is not that far from the 53 percent he took in 2008.

• On the named Congressional ballot, Democrats continue to lead Republicans, with consolidated support among the coalition that brought them to power in 2006 and 2008. Importantly, they are now also performing equal to or better than their 2008 margins among seniors.

• Importantly, Democrats have consolidated the new progressive voters of the Rising American Electorate who were responsible for Democratic victories in 2006 and 2008. These voters—unmarried women, young voters, and minorities—dropped off in 2010 and lagged throughout 2011. These voters have returned in a big way for Democrats, led by a resurgence and re-engagement of unmarried women.

• A drop in negative feelings about the direction of the country and the economy are major and are shaping the mood going into 2012. While Democrats have not made gains on who voters trust on the economy, the climate is better.

These changes are big and could become fundamental to the still young election year. Two big issues may have shaped this period. One is taxes and the other is the debate over the church and contraception, which is discussed at length later.

The shifting debate on taxes is one of the biggest things that has happened here. On every other issue we track, voters’ minds have not changed on which party is better—except taxes—where we have seen a 10-point shift in favor of Democrats. The tax debate is shifting heavily against the Republicans.

The biggest problem with younger voters is, I think, that they are post Saint Ronnie. They’ve grown up watching Rushpubliscum destruction of their futures (and way too often, dem complacency while this went on,) and they are understandably jaded after the first 4 years of the Obama Administration. Somehow, they have to be made to understand that the 2012 election is not, and should not, be about the President (or the dems) per se-it has to be about the future. There is, I think, a remarkable chance here to start a liberal insurgency along the lines of the Klanbagger insurgency in the Rushpubliscum Party. If we take it.

But there’s no problem with the women. They get exactly what is happening here. And Issa’s little trick today is going to throw gasoline on what was already a pretty hot issue for women of all ages. The women are now seeing what I have been screaming about for years: the Rushpubliscum Party flat-out hates the perception of women as independent human beings. There was an article in TPM today that said that Issa and the Rushpubliscums “took us back to the 50s,” but I don’t think that the 1950s would be good enough for them. They intend to take the rights of women back to the 1650s, if they can.

I am absolutely stunned that people as wealthy as the Rushpubliscum backers are could be as stupid as they also obviously are. If we put a purified version of the Social Darwinism that they all seem to want into practice, there wouldn’t be one of them alive in a week.
