Democrats at Risk of Global Warming Election Backlash

"Recent polling numbers may induce Republicans on the November ballot to turn certain Democrats’ obsession with global warming into a Republican weapon, slamming Democrats for ignoring much more important issues.

Several Democratic politicians and funding groups are attempting to make global warming a key issue in the November elections even though the public considers global warming a very low priority. To date, Republicans in such elections have assumed a low-key approach, trusting the global warming attacks will not find much political traction. Recent polling numbers, however, may induce Republicans to be bolder on the issue.

In mid-August, Gallup asked more than 1,000 American adults the following open-ended question: “What do you think is the most important problem facing the country today?” Gallup listed the top 12 responses, which accounted for 99 percent of the answers. Global warming did not make the list. If any of the 1,032 American adults answered global warming, the answer failed to reach even the 1 percent threshold.

In another poll released in late August, the Pew Research Center and USA Today presented more than 1,500 American adults with a list of nine potential threats to the United States and asked the respondents to indicate which ones they consider to be “major threats.” Global warming ranked dead last among Republicans and Independents, but first among Democrats.

When Democrats and Republicans have strong differences of opinion on a particular issue, polling among independents typically offers clues regarding who should and will emphasize the issue. Given that independents side with Republicans on the relative unimportance of global warming claims, it would seem most likely Republicans would push the issue and Democrats would not. Nevertheless, moneyed interests and environmental extremists have convinced some Democrats to emphasize their unpopular global warming views in the current election cycle."

Keystone

Not dead yet.

Pipeline pressure piling up on Obama

"President Barack Obama is coming under increasing pressure here to approve the Keystone XL pipeline. And it's not just from political opponents.

Industry associations and even organized labour are ramping up efforts to force the president's hand heading into November's election."

[---]

"And Republican lawmakers in Congress, who are making the pipeline a legislative priority for the upcoming session, are even drafting legislation that could wrestle away control of the Keystone file from the White House."

Oh, Gawd!!

Barack Obama launches 2012 re-election campaign with 'It Begins With Us' video

All I can say is, the Republicans better have their act together.

Another Poll...

...that's bad news for lefties.

"The latest information from the Rasmussen polling group shows some surprising and possibly disturbing news for Democrats. The people trust the GOP on 9 out of 10 key issues."

Hope and change!!

Al Gore must rue the day he "invented" the internet.

Yup. It's Time...

...to dust off those quaint ideas like sedition and treason. Allan West for President ASAP:

"Progressives"

"Moderate progressives view the rejections of the Democrats from 1968 to 1984 as a sober lesson delivered by a sober populace. They view Americans today as wanting the same things economically that their parents and grandparents wanted from the New Deal: an active safety net that helps them move up in American life. In this view, Americans support Democrats when they use government to support and enhance middle-class values and aspirations. Moderate progressives believe Democrats got away from that heritage when they started to be perceived as worrying more about people who did not work than about those who did, as worrying more about criminals than the victims of crime, as worrying more about American aggression than about the freedom of the West".

"Liberal progressives" are even worse.

"Are liberal progressives right about recent American electoral history? Or do American voters fundamentally not want what liberal progressives have to offer?"

A good read about the "progressive" civil war, on the eve of an important American election.  I expect we'll find out who wins tomorrow.

Republicans Send Message to Iran

Not that it will get anywhere, with the Dems lock-hold on power. But I'm sure Iranians will notice, and the average Iranian citizen on the streets and rooftops are probably the intended target of the message anyway. At least they'll know there are some people in the USA who want them to be free.

It's a good way to bring the Arabs onside, too, and maybe thereby nudge a bit more reform out of them. I'm pretty sure they see the writing on the wall for the Dems in this fall's elections, no less than the Dems themselves do.

The Repubs have much greater savvy when it comes to global issues and politics than the current crop of Dems by a long shot. I suspect the Dems haven't even noticed that bowing and scraping before potentates hasn't produced the desired effects. Or maybe it has, but that's just too frightening to contemplate.
