The Great Middle Mass of America

A 2009 Gallup poll reveals that conservatives outnumber liberals two to one, but it also reveals that the real battle is to win the hearts and minds of the great American middle mass—the moderates.[i]

This poll revealed that in every state of the nation conservatives outnumber liberals—the only exception is the liberal-land of Washington D.C. What about the “left coast”? California has 7% more conservatives than liberals. What about the mecca of liberalism, New York? New York has 6% more conservatives than liberals. What about the home of the godfather of American liberalism, Ted Kennedy? Even in Massachusetts, conservatives outnumber liberals by 1%. Vermont ties that. Who would have thought it? Even in the liberal battleground for public unions, Wisconsin has 17% more conservatives than liberals.

So, why are conservatives taking a beating?

Why Waiting on Washington Won't Work

We the people have been waiting on Washington D.C. for real solutions to the problems facing our nation for decades.  We keep electing “sweet sounding slogans” and keep getting “sour milk.” Politicians keep “getting the goldmine” and we keep “getting the shaft.” Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.

The reasons that solutions will never come from the top—Washington.

Issue #8...Energy Independence: Drill Here, Drill Now

Rising gas prices are in the news this week. So, take a look at Issue #8 in the "Issues in Detail."

Issue #8…Energy Independence: Drill here, drill now.

Two separate ingredients came together to create the recent economic downturn. The first ingredient was intervention of liberals in Congress and by a past president to force lending institutions to lend mortgage money to people who would not normally qualify. These forced loans are another example of lunatic liberal ideas that do far more damage than good because when millions of people could no longer pay the mortgages and when banks overloaded in these debts began to go bankrupt, the economy took a nosedive with the stock exchange falling from near 12,000 to below the 8000 level. The ripple effect was enormous. Rather than using the proven conservative remedy of tax cuts, liberals proposed more and more lunatic spending. For the first time in our history, liberals have spent almost two trillion dollars they do not have—creating another future catastrophe.
