FOX 'NEWS' POLL: Republicans Out of Touch With Mainstream America...
From www.bradblog.com
Those Identified in Survey as Independent Voters Vastly Agree with Democrats, Not Republicans, as GOP Voters Continue Their Move to the Extreme Political Margins
According to a BRAD BLOG analysis of the Fox "News"/Opinion Dynamics poll released yesterday, which showed George W. Bush's latest approval rating at an all-time low of 33%, respondents in the poll who identified themselves as Republican are revealed by the survey time and again to be completely out of touch with mainstream American voters.
A review of the 13 questions asked in the survey where Republican majority responses differed completely from Democratic majority responses to the same question, finds that those identifying themselves as Independents agreed with the Democratic majority opinion nearly 100% of the time.
After five years of malicious propaganda by Republican opinion-leaders attempting to paint Democrats as "out of touch with mainstream America," it's interesting to find that the Republicans' own Fox "News" Poll reveals that it is the GOP -- not the Dems -- who now seem to be on the "kook fringe" of American political public opinion.

Actually I am surprised
Actually I am surprised by the numbers who voted in favor of Rumsfeld or at least did not think he should resign. I have to wonder if those who voted that he should stay are paying attention?! He has been a complete disaster for the administration as well as for the American people and for the world. I guess that the old saying is proved once again. "There are none so blind as those who will not see."

That's why I chose this new name for them
That's why I now refer to the Repukicans now as REGRESSIVES. We're PROgressives, and they are REgressives.
The name "right wing" doesn't suit what they are. Neither does conservative.
They want to go backwards into all that was wrong with the past, so I think they are Regressives.
I like this quote:
"I am here to bring you hope. I am here to tell you that the cultural Cold War now wracking America will be won by the liberals, by the forces who want to take this country FORWARD into the 21st century, not backward into the 12th. How can I say this with such certainty? Because liberalism always wins."

Very good points.
I would also add that it is now time to stop complaining about Republicans!
They’re dead in the water and trying to distance themselves from this administration.
MARRY REPUBLICANS TO THE CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT! (Ah… Regressive movement.)
I know it sounds redundant but Conservatives have ALL branches of Government and its time kill this blight on America.
-Its time for the Golden Rule.
-For Traditional Christianity not Fundamentalism.
-For Science not superstition.
-For massively increased incomes for the bottom 90% not the top 1%.
-Time for explosive growth via Taxing inbred genetic dullards at the top And Spending it on underpaid Policeman, Fireman, Soldiers, etc.
(Aid for the chronically conservative: Please ignore all points that will help you and focus on the mantra of tax and spend until you're completely broke. Thanks.)
Jim, now there are some
Jim, now there are some bullet points that sum it up nicely.

I forgot to add we’re all going out for ice cream after the new era dawns.
Cool! That's another 0.5%
Cool! That's another 0.5% tax the have mores can absorb.
