Are the Democrats vulnerable in 2010

 

 

In my original post I mentioned that I thought that part of the car companies on going

problems included the fact that they had given up on leasing which was a significant part

of their business.  This week there was a article mentioning that Cadillac was going to

begin leasing again in an effort to bolster their sales.  So at least in part I was on the right

track.  But on to other items.

 

How much trouble will the Democrats find in next years elections?

 

My observation is that it will be significant if current events continue as they are.

 

1.      The unemployment number is large, getting larger, and not likely to have improved by next fall.  While the numbers being bantered about are 9.7% or some 6 million people we know the actual number is much higher.  Some have said  the number is as

16 million when you consider those whose benefits have expired and those that have

just given up.  The issue is that the administration is doing nothing to foster the

creation of new jobs.  The shovel ready jobs they have funded have only created work for those people in the industry who come and go as work is started.  What about the

tens or hundreds of thousands of jobs that were lost in the financial services area.

Those jobs are for the most part gone forever and there is nothing filling the void.

So come election time unemployment will loom large over the ballot box.

 

2.      Another factor will obviously be the debt which will only be larger my then.  The

vast majority of the populace is outraged at the direction the administration has taken

with spending and incurring debt which goes far beyond our ability to manage or

retire.  We are destroying those values which made this country strong.  Between the

assault on capitalism,  individual freedoms, and the unwanted expansion of government into our lives a majority of voters will display their displeasure at the

polls next November and a large number of incumbents of both parties will find themselves out of a government job.

 

3.      Prior to the presidential election I made the following remark when asked about

Obama “as an individual I have no problems with him, however the Democratic

party agenda will destroy this country”. Now I do have problems with him and

the agenda is doing just what I predicted.  Among the things that a vast number of

people are upset over are the arrogance, hypocrisy, and bold lies that we see

demonstrated each day in Washington D.C.  President Obama stands in front of

the American people and believers we will believe him and follow like sheep, and

when tens of thousands amass in Washington in protest he shrugs it off as and few

kooks.  He needs to be reminded that for each person who showed up that day there

was a thousand more at home watching and supporting those individuals.  We hear

from Congress each day speeches which wallow in hypocrisy, and we hear it and

see it for what it is and will remember nest November.

 

So as we go forward it would be wise for the residents of the Senate and the House to

listen to their constituents who are telling them that they are out of touch with reality.

Let them go forward with Cap and Trade, Medical insurance reform, and the rest of

their agenda with fair warning that come November they are out of work.
