Poll numbers show Democrats at disadvantage

34. good thread, but as pointless as trying go convince the GOP that 'skewed polls' are a myth...

Some here, perhaps many, believe that winning elections is the end game. For them that's success. But outside these electronic walls people expect their leaders to DO something. Failing that, they at least expect them to try. Failing THAT, at a bare minimum they expect some kind of concrete plan -- something relevant to the problem and that sounds like it might at least possibly work.

We haven't done any of that. We don't even have a plan other that do something slightly less than the GOP is calling for. So basically we look like Republicans, only perhaps a bit nicer and a whole lot less competent. The only thing we have going for us is that batshit crazy social conservative Christian wing of the GOP. No one, including the GOP, wants those nutcases in power, but if the American people are given the choice between having a job and protecting Gay rights, those jobs will come first every time.

The GOP is out there every day saying "This is why you don't have a job." Their reasons might be bullshit, but at least they are talking about it. And in the meantime we aren't fighting for jobs, we're fighting for new job destroying trade deals, more austerity, more domestic spying, Chained CPI, and all the rest.

Come 2014 and 2016 it is gonna bite us in the ass with a vengeance.
