And he/she certainly would not have the company of those who like the ideology of the current troika. <br /><br />The I don't know either are a pivotal group or don't really care one way or the other. Such as it goes.<br /><br />The point Is perhaps a change will occur in 2010. And as you notice I said "a more conservative congress."

They don't consider the issues.In order for democracy to work we need an informed electorate,and we don't have that here.Osohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513535195785731541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-58168326090437201382010-01-27T17:58:31.740-05:002010-01-27T17:58:31.740-05:00I want to know when a conservative becomes a Repub...I want to know when a conservative becomes a Republican? <br /><br />I believe "CONSERVATIVE" would fall in the "Other" catagory...<br /><br />By the way a recent NBC/WSJ shows that democrats got 44% and republicans got 42% and I don't know got 14% <br /><br />So, the point is?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-47433105789938947992010-01-27T12:08:01.396-05:002010-01-27T12:08:01.396-05:00the problem with a chart like this with the questi...the problem with a chart like this with the question as asked is that it is misleading.<br />reason:<br />if we were to vote today there would be no category of uncertain voters because everybody would have voted and that includes the uncertain.<br />and since there is a possibility that every uncertain vote goes to the dems then the most that can be truthfully said is that 50% would vote rep. now and 50% would vote dem.The Griperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00937560474548021334noreply@blogger.com
