Hope-n-Change Death Watch

Obama "out-of-touch with 80% of the American people"...

It's become common knowledge that the power-mad American Left is in deep, deep political trouble primarily due to the reckless expansion of government engineered by Team Obama. But while many conservatives are nervously pondering what could go wrong in the next few days to blow this precious opportunity, others see a larger, deeper change in the political environment of our country that goes much farther than just a single election cycle... myself included. 

It increasingly does appear that we are experiencing a full-on renaissance of the American conservative movement... one based on personal liberty and fiscal discipline, and under perhaps a wider social-issues tent then in the past. It's the opposition to outrageous spending and the Dems' Big Government agenda that brought the TEA Party movement to the verge of power, and it's those issues that unite the resurgent Right in America today.

Here in the run-up to perhaps the most vital mid-term elections in US history, Nile Gardiner at The Telegraph (UK) says it's not just the tone of this mid-term election... but the sheer scale of the conservative wave sweeping America that really makes the impression on him. As for the now-ubiquitous Titanic analogies... better think Poseidon Adventure:

Gallup has another devastating poll which makes extremely grim reading for the White House today. Gallup’s polling shows that 48 percent of Americans now regard themselves as conservative, higher than each of the last three midterms, compared to just 20 percent who describe themselves as liberals. In addition, Gallup reveals that 55 percent of likely voters next week are Republican or lean Republican, in contrast to 40 percent who are Democrat or lean Democrat...

The poll underscores not only the huge advantage the Republicans have going into next week’s election, but also the sheer scale of the conservative revolution in America. As Gallup shows, conservatives now outnumber liberals by an almost 2.5 to 1 ratio. Liberals make up just 20 percent of the American population. Barack Obama is the most left-wing president in US history, and is clearly out of touch with at least 80 percent of the American people, who clearly do not share his ideology.

Next Tuesday looks set to be an epic disaster for the Left in America, and the capsizing of the president’s Big Government dream.

Republicans: NO Deals with Obammunists

Resurgent GOPers "in no mood for compromise"


Contrary to some of the nonsense re. Republicans making nice with Obama out there, listen to House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) quoted in The Hill today:

Boehner, the party leader who would likely become Speaker in a GOP-controlled House, distanced himself from a senior senator's suggestion last week that trying to repeal the new healthcare reform law wasn't in Republicans' best interest. 

"This is not a time for compromise, and I can tell you that we will not compromise on our principles," Boehner said during an appearance on conservative Sean Hannity's radio show. 

Whether — or to what extent — Republicans will look to compromise with President Obama and congressional Democrats is a major issue for the party on the verge of Nov. 2's elections. Republicans are within striking distance of winning the net 39 seats they need to take back the House, and are expected to win back seats in the Senate. 

Boehner seemed to cast his lot with some of the more aggressively conservative members of his party by vowing not to compromise. Some more centrist figures in the party have urged the party to work with Democrats on some issues, though. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Tuesday that Republicans should work with Obama on Social Security and other issues, while Gregg said last week that repealing healthcare reform — the GOP's long-stated goal — was not a good idea. 

"I love Judd Gregg, but maybe he doesn't get it," Boehner said Wednesday in a rebuke to Gregg, the top Republican on budget issues in the Senate who's set to retire at the end of his term in January. "We're going to do everything — and I mean everything we can do — to kill it, stop it, slow it down, whatever we can.

Boehner did open the door to working with Obama, though he said it would have to be on Republicans' terms. "To the extent the president wants to work with us, in terms of our goals," the Ohio Republican explained, "we'd welcome his involvement."


Likewise from Mike Pence (via HotAirPundit)... 

"What I said was, there will be no compromise on ending this era of runaway spending, deficits and debt , there will be no compromise on repealing Obamacare lock, stock and barrel" ...Pence was on the highly rated Parker Spitzer program on CNN


Sounds great- here's two aware that they will be held to it...
